Topic: My DS Rig has Arrived!!! Posted: 23 Jul 2010 at 7:08pm |
WOW... just WOW. I am currently on the new DS Rig and I can't believe I actually bought this thing! So far so good, I have some components I will need to put in but so far this is the most insane computer I have ever owned or even used for that part. I obviously haven't used it much yet so I will save more info for the review in a month or 2. What I can tell you is that even after hearing about the packaging and service from DS I am still extremely impressed!
One thing I can note for now is that I am extremely happy I went with the SSD! The computer booted up before I even walked around from behind my desk! Not to mention it is much more quiet than I had expected. Here are the specs on my Rig... Ticket Number 421158 Specifications:Processor Speed GHz: 3.976 And now for the pictures... I took tons of pictures unpacking because there seems to be lots of shipping questions going on now. I can now say that there is absolutely no reason to question the packaging from DS. I will just let the pictures speak for themselves. |

Sound card is installed... I am going to have to pick up a Sata cable tomorrow so I can hook up my Blu Ray Burner.
Crysis Max, Left 4 Dead and Just Cause 2 are all installed. I just need to get the Orange Box and Oblivion installed. And then I will really begin enjoying this thing. I put L4D on for a few minutes. I am extremely pleased with the graphics. And this is certainly a warm welcome back into the world of PC Gaming for me. I am 100% certain I made the right choice! |

No extra SATA cables in the "left over extras" white box? |

Not unless I overlooked it twice. It's not a big deal though. Where can I go to pick that cable up? CaompUSA is 45 minutes from my house and I really don't want to go that far.

Walmart, BestBuy, or Office Depot nearby?

Yeah... the building still says CompUSA, but I think Tiger Direct owns them.

After 2 weeks of having my computer I can officially say that it continues to impress me. I'm glad I went with DS because I don't think I could have put together a machine like this on my own. I put a light OC on the GPU and it is running under 77* C no problem under full load.
