Provantage: instant shipping

[Image: Antec Solo]I’m in the process of building a new gaming beast. My previous beast is now a dinosaur, struggling to pump Counter-Strike: Source out on a 1680x1050 monitor at just over 30 fps with all the settings cranked down to the low end.

The exciting bit is that all the different components have been ordered and are being shipped to me from various locations. I’ve got my hands on a 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo chip, a nice Asus motherboard, and 2 GB of ram. I plan to overclock this sucker.

On Tuesday I went in to Fry’s to have a look at the cases, see which ones I liked. I settled on the sweet looking Antec Solo, which I ordered Wednesday from Provantage.

And yesterday it arrived. WTFInstantShipping? Awesome. Now I need to wait for the power supply, the hard drive (500GB), and the Video Card…

[UPDATE] Just checked the tracking number on my video card (8600 GTS, the cheap man’s DX10 card), and it took 8 hours to ship, and arrived this morning!!! Instant shipping!!
