First Order with Digital Storm

After reading tons of reviews, comparing pricing, companies, etc. I decided about a month ago to make the move to build a system with Digital Storm. From the start, these guys have been great. There was a little issue regarding a part not coming in for my system, and they really stepped up to the plate (without any prompting) and MORE than handled it. Haha that's all the info I can give on how they took care of it, but I will say that they've made me a very satisfied customer.

All of that being said, I have not received my system as of yet. However, I'm sure that it's close (it's in Stage 5 and likely about to move to 6). As soon as it gets here, I'm planning on doing an unboxing/review with pics.

Being my first system with DS, I'm very excited to see it when it gets here. So far, they've been stellar to work with, so I can only imagine that the rig will be every bit as stellar as they are. Here are the specs:

They've been great! I'm rocking them on my current daily driver. Klipsch did let me down, though. I picked up a KG-300 headset the other day, and I think I'm going to send it back. Unfortunately, they're flimsy/cheap feeling, somewhat small with a very large headband and don't sound as good (imho) as a Logitech G430 Headset. I really had higher hopes for them since the speakers are so great.

Thanks Tidgxor!

Hey, Eldente... crazy question, bud. What are you plugging your computer into? A surge protector? UPS system? I went back and read through your posts. Just thought I'd ask.
