Gaming Desktop

Hi DarkSydeElement,

The Bolt II is a very specialized case that can do amazing things with very limited space. I am not a fan but that doesn't mean it isn't a great system. Just not my cup of tea. I think there are better options in the Apollo and the Velox. The Bolt II is a great options if you are very limited in desk space.

Being able to take your computer to Best Buy for repairs is an advantage for some. But you can't buy a DS system from Best Buy. You will sacrifice performance and you choices will be limited. Best Buy just doesn't have Performance/Gaming computers. If you want to up your gaming powers then Digital Storm is your best choice by far.

Here is what happens if you buy a Digital Storm computer and have a failure of some kime. First you come to this forum and get help. Many times the Forum can solve your problem or suggest what is wrong. If the Forum can't help you then you have the full power of the Digital Storm Factory to help you. You will call a Digital Storm technician in California who will help you diagnose your problem. If a card or some other devise has failed they will ship you a replacement. A DS technician will help you install it if there is any questions. Should a serious system failure happen, like a mother board failure, you may have to return your computer to the factory and wait for it to return. If you are capable of replacing the mother board, they will ship a replacement to you.

I know it is daunting thinking about having to ship your system to the factory for certain failures. Remember that you will have a powerful computer and the factory is the best place for someone to work on your system and get it right. The technicians at Best Buy are hit or miss on their qualifications. That is not the case with DS.

I have had many computers over the years and only one every had a MB failure. The MB network connection failed. It was under warranty from a big computer company so I called to get a network card to fix the problem. Since they had "At Home" repairs they wouldn't send me a $10 card and insisted that a tech would come out and change the MB. She changed the MB and then because it started and then stopped and restarted, she thought the MB was bad. I couldn't convince her that was how the MB worked. So the tech came out twice from fifty miles away for a simple fix and replaced two mother boards. For $20 and postage the could have fixed the problem.

Purchasing from a custom specialty shop such as us is going be a completely different experience than a retail store like Best Buy. You will receive a far more advanced product and the care and support from a company that wants you to be happy with your purchase.

The only caveat I see is that you will need to become more familiar with high-end components, but we will be here to help you.

Other than that, you will get a far more premium product.
