Very psyched! 
Ordered a i7 DIY on Sep 24. Got the shipped email on Oct 11. Is supposed to be delivered by Monday the 18th.
I feel your pain bro. Sorry for my comment, don’t want to bring any hopes down! It’ll be a short wait now I’m sure! Stay strong!
Just receivet the will will charge your card email !
I order on september 3 the i5 diy kit with just the network card
I’m supposed to get mine tomorrow, but, since it’s Fedex… let’s just say I am preparing myself for a possible letdown.
Well after FedEx took my package on a pointless 400 mile drive after arriving in its destination city, it finally arrived for real. Getting it set up now.
It’ll be there before you notice! Keep a positive thought and it will come 
Also checking in as “preparing to ship your order!” I ordered a DIY i5 on 9/9.
Whooo!!! Looks like a lot of people (including me) got their shipping prep email today! 
I’m also in the i5 group gang 
Happy to see some solid progress so far today! i5 orders should be up to 9 Sep, i7-mid around 18 Sep (c’mon 20 Sep!), and i7-top almost near time. Thanks for the 77 folks posting up their email timelines. I still don’t know if this helps anything (other than procrastinating work), but hey, if it helps gauge when to tip off your bank of a large purchase, cool. Upside, I have a feeling this community is all about helping each other, which is greatly appreciated.
Just got my “shipping soon” notification on my mid i7- ordered 19 september. super excited!!
Luckyyyy you and so many others!!! I got mine on sep 20th, mid tier i7 CPU. I need the email ahahaha.
No email yet, I’ll be so sad if I’m put into next week because I ordered 1 day later!! 
Arrived! I put it together very very carefully. I can’t get the display to turn on but haven’t had much time to troubleshoot.
Told ya! Now get that badboy up and kicking
I ordered the following on Sep 18:
Configuration (DIY):
Expansion Cards:
Preparing to Ship Batch Email - (Oct 4)
Preparing to Ship Order Email - (Oct 12 - Today)
Awesome!! I don’t have much advice about the display (though it does take a while to turn on during the first boot for memory training), but remember to turn off secure boot once you have the display working so you can boot off a live usb! I forgot to do that and was quite confused for a few minutes
Is that the issue? I did the DIY and my USBs weren’t being recognized trying to install an OS. Eventually I found an older one it would read but maybe that was just a fluke…
Uuuhhh if they’re following the order of days we’re almost there I think… I just want them to take my money and send it hahahahaha… I still have to wait for it to be forwarded… I really need to train my patience.
They’re not necessarily following order submission dates. I ordered mine on Oct. 6th and six days later, today Oct. 12, I get charged and notified that my shipment will be on the way in a couple of days. A lot of people who ordered in September still haven’t gotten charged for the remainder or shipment dates.
It could be! Good to hear you got it working though
