    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? Big%20Smile

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 :)

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 Big%20Smile
