Topic: 6 month review Posted: 25 Feb 2012 at 5:26pm |
I've had my machine up and running for over 6 months at this point. I can take any game, task, application - anything, and this machine handles it at blistering speeds with settings cranked to max, without exception. It's been a fantastic ownership experience, mostly because I know the forums are here if I need, and support is just a phone call away.
There's not a whole lot to say, mostly because everything is running 100% perfectly. There's no drama with this machine, no headaches, no problems of any sort. Last year I had the unfortunate opportunity to dispose of many machines built by big companies with no regard for building a quality machine and even less regard for supporting the garbage they sell. The Digital Storm experience has left me feeling like I should have called up and ordered a machine years ago. And the fact is, I really should have. If you have high expectations for a custom computer and you don't want to settle for less than A+, then all you have to do to get started is click "products" at the top of the page and begin configuring the computer you want. If it sounds like a sales pitch, that's because it is. My computer and experience has been so phenomenal that I recommend these guys to anyone who says "I'm thinking about getting a new computer", and once you buy your machine here, I'm certain you will too. |

Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to post your review. It would be great if you could add some photos of your setup? |

I guess photos would prove whether or not an earthquake destroyed it

Well, the only thing that's changed about the whole rig at this point is the mouse pad - literally (XFX Warpad). Otherwise, the rig and even the room look the same as they did in August:
I can take some new pictures, but it will have to be this weekend. Stuck doing an online Linux+ training class all week and I don't think I'll have time to clean up for proper pics until then :) |

Ah Linux+
I remember going for that certification, I didn't get the first time I'm sure you'll do better than me, I was never a very exemplary student |

Awesome, I'll let the team know to move your thread, they've been very busy with a new product launch so they haven't had time lately.

If DS keeps growing you are really going to have to hire someone to deal with the forums Alex
