Nice looking rig... Not sure if you really need Win8.1 Pro - mostly used for office networking capabilities...

Looks pretty solid. If you think you might want to use the analog audio outputs, it maybe work the Rampage IV Black edition for the improved audio.

Looks like a solid setup! Like Danjw1 said, the Rampage Black has a much better audio solution if audio is important to you.

A real nice rig you put together. As far as spending this kind of money, you could save $3-400 using the Hailstorm 2 ,900d case, and get the same performance, but the Aventum is tops and not available anywhere else. Aventum is a step up for those that can.
Pictures when you get it would be great. We love looking at DS rigs in action. Edited by bprat22 - 20 Apr 2014 at 3:57am |

It's actually about a $200 difference for the exact same specifications. However, you lose out on a much better quality case that has superior cooling and something that you can't get anywhere else.. |

I'm wondering if the copper piping is still offered/available and if so how much more would that cost?

We do offer copper-tubing but only on our Aventum II build. The kit runs about $1,000 for a full loop. |

Check the tracking number from Google. It will (should) give you the name of the shipper.

I think it needs time to update depending on who the shipper is. If it doesn't change Monday give DS a call |
