New to the Family!

Hey guys! I just recently bit the bullet and purchased a brand new PC from reading all the positive reviews and doing some research because I've had some bad experience with other companies ------ so I heard about you guys and how you guys do business and treat your customers and so I couldn't wait any longer!
I haven't upgraded the PC I have now for 5 years now and thought now is the time to upgrade in a big way with getting a new PC entirely built from Digital Storm. I've had trouble running some of the most recent games that have came out on medium or higher settings with this current PC and decided enough is enough and got this.

It's still on Stage 5 (and hopefully almost done and shipped this week ). Hopefully I get it soon because I just can't wait to play all my games on high settings or more which I'm itching to play and just be in awe of the graphics . Anyways, I'm gonna go now and refresh spam my e-mail once the weekdays start for the updates on the stages and shipping

Thanks! Hopefully it'll last for years to come with some of the upcoming games lol

Thank you! I've been waiting for those email updates like no other Just can't wait!

Originally posted by Tidgxor Welcome welcome, and congrats! And yeah, the email updates are a lot of fun. Nothing like that mad dash to the inbox!

Thanks! And yeah nothing like anticipating an awesome PC that will destroy your old PC

Stage 5 took a couple of days or so for me. The code will either be in the binder you get, an email or you will need to call or email them

The codes will be sent via email when your system ships out.

Congrats on the system!

Nice rig!!!!!!!!! Don't forget pics.

Will definitely post pics once I get my PC and have everything set up!

And thank you ggo4th

Still stuck on Stage 5 , called DS support and took the opportunity to change one small thing which was add Green lighting (favorite color) and was assured my order would ship tomorrow the wait is unbearable lol

It'll be worth the wait.

I got my PC on Friday but haven't been able to set it up since I'm waiting for a bud of mine (Carpenter) to finish building me a simple 2-part table with my specifications to finish which should be done sometime today or tomorrow (I don't want the hassle of setting up my PC in one room then having to move it once the table is done lol) Pics and review will be coming shortly after when it's all set up OH and also I need to call/email DS support to get my codes since they didn't send it in the accessories box Other than that, can't wait   

Yes I will be definitely calling them first thing Monday morning to get those codes

Thanks again!

Awesome! You would want to start a new thread so that they can point folks over to it from the site.
