This is my first custom built. I'm not so much a gamer but like fast. I have to say the wait for the build and delivery was killing me. I must have signed on everyday a few times per day. My last computer was an HP and when I purchased it was top of the line. Digital Storm did a fantastic job. My only regret is it's so much larger then I thought it would be. The case is a full tower and I had to modify my desk to fit. I had a couple 1tb drives that I added within a few minutes. There is so much room in the case. The racks for the HD's made it so easy to add to it. I would had loved to have the front fans be blue (not sure that was an option). I could have spent more on add-ons but I have to admit my ignorance on picking more options.

Overall after a few days and getting all my software installed I love this machine. I'll purchase again but make sure I add and look at case size.

Congrats! Awesome

And yeah, the first time you get a true full sized tower it's kind of crazy. I downsized with my second DS rig so I can relate. Big%20Smile

Congrats and enjoy.

I'll second hoserator's question... what setup did you get ?   We live through others.

Congrats

As you noticed from working on the pc you want a big case, so that you get the best airflow in this case and room for everything to breath and work on, I think you got lucky and got a full tower, from the pc's parts perspective that is the optimal situation, do it may not be for yours.

What case do you have? you can always spend a few dollars and open 4 screws and change your fan to the led one you want or change all your case fans to led.
