    Hello all :hi2:
    Just made my purchase through XoticPC for my np9150 special edition!
    i7 3630m
    IC diamond
    680m
    16gb RAM -1600mhz
    750gb - 7200rpm
    bigfoot network killer card
    glossy screen ( out of preference )
    No OS ( installing myself )
    blu-ray drive

    What do you guys think ? :D
    Had a couple questions though. I used the freeship promotional code and in the receipt it says that it was discounted, however it's still in the total price..Does that get removed later once processed? I did this last night so I know that it won't be until a little later before processing will take place.
    Also, I plan to put in a solid state in the HDD caddy sometime soon in the future but was wondering, if I install the OS on the mechanical drive, and want to later use it on the solid state, what can I do to ensure that I don't run into license issues? Last thing: What kind of things should I do when it first gets here? In terms of installing essential software ( i got drivers and all that covered ). I noticed a lot of you monitor your temps and all that stuff and was wanting a recommendation on what to install at first boot. Thanks all! :)

    Awesome, congrats on the build.
    If your total showed -$28 under the subtotal then the free shipping applied properly, as you mentioned it will get processed later today and we'll be in touch if any questions come up.
    If you activate the OS while installed on the HDD you will most likely run into an issue when you go to activate it again on the SSD. You will probably have to call Microsofts automated line to get a new number to enter.
    For programs i like to get HWmonitor for temps and some benchmark/stress test programs like Prime95, 3D Mark, and Furmark.
