Congrats, RPGer.    That sucka is more powerful than most desktops.

For movie playback you'll need to get a seperate playback package.   PowerDvd 14 is one that's come up.

Good luck.

Grats! 

Show the Qatari what DS is all about!

And I'm glad I'm not the only one that chuckled at the 1015 day ship time.

Wow, thank you for being such a loyal customer. You're going to love that unit, it's VERY powerful!

Absolutely! I will let Nav know.

If you had a second SSD, you could put them in a RAID 1 config...I know that cuts down on storage capacity, but I saw in another thread you were worried about up-time if any of the components should fail.

There are a few external devices coming out (Samsung T1 comes to mind) that have pretty fast access times and are compact and portable.

Definitely this.

If you go with PowerDVD, you'll need to buy the Pro or Ultra editions for the Blu-ray playback.  Standard will only play DVDs.  There are other apps out there that will play Blu-rays, but not many.  I've been using PowerDVD for years now and have not had issues playing Blu-rays on my last three systems.

Snaike thanks for that. And I put a comment on the Brainstorm thread.

Already on stage 3!! COOL.

Just be aware that there is no TRIM capability on the T1 through the USB connection. There is a Samsung garbage collection utility, I believe, so be sure to occasionally run that to keep the drive performing well. Samsung is looking into seeing how the TRIM command can be passed through the USB link, but no guarantees.

WOW already on stage 5! Guess I will not change anything and let it roll. I think for what I'm doing I have enough storage.
60 games (or more). But pretty much all are on Steam.
Well I could have the Behemoth by next week it looks like.
"The Cube" VS "Behemoth" who shall win power over me. (Said in my best Joss Whedon voice)

Don't let them go too fast! If they go fast how are we supposed to get "System of the Month" pics and get our droolie bibs all wet??

Fifth system? I'm still trying to get my first system to break a sweat :)

I have never wanted to be adopted so badly in my life!! But I'm old.. perhaps a sibling adoption, yeah, that's it! I can babysit all those machines while your busy in the ME.

Here's the accessories I just bought:


HAVIT® HV-F2056 15.6"-17" Laptop Cooler - Three Quiet 110mm Fans at 1,000RPM, Ultra-portable and Light Weight

CyberLink PowerDVD 14 Ultra

Sean XXL Professional Large Mouse Pad & Computer Game Mouse Mat (35.43''W x 11.81H x 0.12TH) (Black&Red)

Sades Official Vibrating HD 7.1 Gaming Headset with Removable Noise Cancelling Mic (Shaker)

Genius SW-G2.1 2000 - 45 Watts RMS - 2.1 True Beast Power Gaming Speaker System with Earth Pounding Subwoofer Bass and Hyper Treble Sattelite Audio for Iphone, Android, Tablets, Laptops, PC, and Apple (G2.1 2000)

Redragon Perdition 16400 DPI High Precision Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse for PC, MMO, 18 Programmable Buttons, Weight Tuning Cartridge, 12 Side Buttons, 5 programmable user profiles, Omron Micro Switches (WHITE)

What's the chance the suitcase with the Behemoth and all those goodies gets sent to the wrong address?  Like mine for example.  

RPGer does like her gaming. 

16400 DPI mouse, holy jeebers. 

Hi all. On Stage 6.

No rush because it would be nice to see a Behemoth as system of the month....nudge nudge.

I use that Red Dragon mouse on my Cube/U3014 and I love it.

Ya know I don't want to sound like a dick because that might come across when I listed my accesories. The reason I listed the accessories was for opinion and comments not to brag. I took a chance on the Sades Shaker Gaming Headset. Never heard of Sades.
An IT guy at work said to get them and that they are fabulous.
So all my goodies have arrived and I look forward to a review of them also to help everyone.

Have a good friend who just doesnt understand why I am a gamer. How could I spend that much money on computers? And that what Women my age are gamers?    She would never think to say that if I went on a 5K trip or bought a new car etc. But heavens a gamer! It's MY money and there is a whole underground of "Old Women" who game. So many of us older gamers are afraid to acknowledge that fact because of ridicule. And the Devs gear everything for 16-25 year(snot nosed kids) age group(boys). I have always maintained that a huge market is untapped because of ageism and sexism in gaming. Young people think we are white haired, walker using, slowwwwww gamers. Wrong look at my pic. Nuff said.
Where I work the most popular App to play by the "girls" is Trivia Crack and Minecraft(on there phones).

Rant over.

And I was just posting about how unimaginably fast a mouse with a 16400 DPI setting would be. Yes, some of these gaming components have extreme settings that will never-ever be used by anybody.
