looking for the best spec which support a triple monitor setup or six monitor setup such as Samsung's MD230X6 six-screen Eyefinity. The reason for that is because i need each monitor to display different program or application simultaneously, for example : six monitor setup:- monitor 1(top) - connectivity monitoring like network,data transfer,pc temp,etc. monitor 2(top) - stock/forex exchange,etc monitor 3(top) - news/bloomberg,etc monitor 4(below) - viewing CCTV monitor 5(below) - photo/video editing,internet browsing,etc. monitor 6(below) - Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 gaming display or monitor 4,5,6(below) - pc gaming. - extream pc gaming with highest setting on all games - as being told in the above example of each monitor usage. Budget: - willing to discuss with Digital Storm Personnel on this matter. My Question: 1- Which setup or configuration that can do all the things I stated above, is it the Digital Storm Syndicate or Digital Storm Aventum ? or do I need other special customization ? 2- Which of the two setup that more stable/solid build ? in term of stability, cooling system, multitasking, heavy loading/processing data, less noise, easy to maintain or upgradeable ? 3- Does Digital Storm willing to ship the goods to Malaysia if I purchase either one of the system ? (i'm willing to bare all the shipping cost) 4- How about the warranty due to I'm not a US citizen and I'm in Malaysia ? Please do help me on this matter as i'm not an expert on hardware tech and I do apologies on my english. Sorry if I post on the wrong section. Thank you. Edited by adam_my - 15 Nov 2012 at 1:35am |

Hi adam_my. Welcome to the forums.
Those are two great rigs. I don't know the workstation Xeon cpu's but my vote would be the Aventum. It's DS's flagship rig with the latest and greatest. There are a couple of changes I would make. The Noise Suppresion package, Chassis Mod drill two fan holes and the Memory Fan Kit I don't believe apply to the Aventum. I would also drop the Cryo-TEC cpu cooling in favor of the Aventum Liquid cooling for cpu, cards and chipset. This being sent overseas would make servicing the Cryo-TEC, if necessary, a challenge. Liquid cooling is more servicable and parts more readily available. Not that it will need service, but yeah never know. Shipping back to DS could be very expensive. The Aventum is a system best setup with DS on the phone. Good Luck.
