nice rig... do you recommend the red internal lighting? because it will be in my bedroom i dont want something to distracting

[Statman11]

@maxomia Thanks! I enjoy the red lighting it's different from the standard blue. I would say red is also less bright on the eyes compared to green and blue.

cool computer! Too bad they overcharge for you.. i guess that's what you gotta pay for decent tech support and having the legit company's logo

I was thinking about buying from these websites (digitalstorm, alienware or even just regular XPS)

but then i thought about it and just did some reading on building my own computer. Best thing I ever did, now I am able to trouble shoot any problem and very comfortable working inside a PC.

[Statman11]

Well, I will say this. I priced building my own computer last summer and fall. By getting all of the parts I wanted my total would have been around $1500. DS could build me that same system with all the parts I wanted for just $200 dollars more. Why wouldn't I pay that little bit extra to get quality, assurance that product will work, and great support?

[bigjoegamer09]

Digital Storm is the best. Period.

[LatinTaco4u]

Because he wants your PC to look like a spaghetti bowl on the inside and the outside like his does. With no warranty or tech services if something ever happen to your PC, but then again PC hardware never EVER fails right? LOL.

DS built good stuff, nice vid :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS

You completely miss the point.. it is the experience that is rewarding..and plus a lot more fun.

Btw people should go buy a shitty used car so he can understand how it works and wouldn't have to worry so he has that ability to diagnose problems himself and be able to speak to a mechanics and understand what is being overcharged and what is not.

btw sorry if i don't have a real job I am finishing my residency training as a physician (IM)

[mc21b]

with that logic, he should go buy a shitty car just so he can learn how to fix it. Losers with no money can buy cheap; us with real jobs can pay someone to go through the trouble.

my specs from Digital Storm .. btw, 1 of my reasons i went with DS was b/c of their forums.

haf 922 i7-920 .. 2.66 ghz

evga x58 le edition sli w/ cooler master v8

500 gb western digital 7200 rpm

6 gb ddr3 1600 mhz mushkin

nvidia geforce gtx 295 co-op edition .. soon, i didn't buy a video card 1000w corsair hx

windows 7, professional 64 bit

hi. i was led here via the forum in Digital Storm .. i ordered the i7-Extreme 2 last wednesday with several upgrades. seeing this is my 1st gaming pc, i'm pretty excited. been without a pc for abt a month + 1/2 .. researching many companies like Cyber Power and iBuyPower, but at the last moment i found Digital Storm. they're a bit expensive, but quality matters.

nice unboxing .. i'll probably post photos and make a slideshow.

[HCNguyen86]

and that was the thing that kept me from buying ANY expansive computer from any company was that I was lacking the knowledge about computers. Since I have a decent paying job now I can buy from any company even ones with bad tech like cyberpower or ibuypower.

[HCNguyen86]

Yeah but you should go out and build a cheap computer just to learn the way things work. You will be more comfortable with that expansive pc if things start to fail or you want to upgrade since hardware is always advancing.
