Advice and a few questions..

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I've been following these forums for a while now after deciding that I'm going to let DS build my next computer in around a month or 2..  I woundn't mind playing Crysis and my older games like HF2 and so on will probably have to trouble playing on this new system.. But since Starcraft 2 is coming out and my old POS dell xps died like forever ago its time to get a new comp.. Here is my build  277457  Any advice would be helpful as I have kinda been out of computer gaming for a while, consoles took over for a bit.

I also have some questions some might be dumb but from what i've seen you guys are DSO seem to please customers with other requests.

1. I would like LC so my CPU can run cooler and be overclocked but I don't want to be in the 4.0 to 4.2 Ghz.. 3.5-3.9 would be fine.. I was just curious cause i saw under the overclock tab that you now offer 2 stages..

2. My buddy has a Coolermaster Cosmos S case and i was just wondering if you guys accommodate that kind of request?

3. I have 1 GTX 275 can it somewhat play crysis in 1900x1200?  I'll get another to do SLI down the road when i think i'll need it.

4. I'm 6.3 189lbs and all t-shirts L and XL are always different, so i was just wondering what size since you guys know how they fit..

Thanks for you time.. Steve

	1. just pick LC on CPU and choose stage one OC option and you are good to go 2. you can request any part you like, but the HAF has better cooling and costs less, however if you want the cosmos s then get it, just request it, it cost a bit more then what you would pay from newegg but that is how customizing your PC goes 3. 1 x 275 GTX running crysis warhead at 1900 x 1200: as you see 2 might be a better idea for that resolution. 4. to be honest I'm just a customer like you, ultimately you have to call them to make requests and order, when you do mention the tshirt size question here you go Ticket# 277499 --- Price: $2380 (To see this build click here) Price after current promotion $2280 Copy of Specifications: Chassis Model: Cooler Master HAF 932 Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Interior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz (Quad Core) Motherboard: EVGA X58 3X SLI (Intel X58 Chipset) (Supports Triple SLI or CrossFire) System Memory: 6GB DDR3 1333MHz Mushkin (Highly Recommended) (Digital Storm Certified) Power Supply: 1000W Corsair HX (Dual/Triple/Quad SLI Compatible) (Silent Edition) Card Reader: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (500GB Western Digital (16MB Cache) (7200 RPM) (SATA) Set 1 Raid Options: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No Thanks Optical Drive 1: DVD±R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 20x / CD-Writer 48x) Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Video Card: 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 896MB (Includes PhysX Technology) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 3: High-Performance Liquid Chilled FrostBite System For CPU Liquid Color:Red: Non-conductive High-Performance Fluid (Requires H20: Stage 3 Cooling Package) Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (Blue) Enhancements: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Boost Processor: Stage 1: Overclock the processor between 3.3GHz to 3.9GHz (Requires Air Cooling Upgrade) Boost Video Card: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) Boost Memory: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my memory Tweak Windows: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (64-Bit Edition) (For Enthusiasts) Restore Kit: Digital Storm Specialized Recovery System (DVD Image Based) Virus Protection: - No Thanks Office: - No Thanks Benchmarking: - No Thanks Install/Test Game: - No Thanks LCD Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: Digital Storm T-Shirt - Black (Extra Large) Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 5-10 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: 3 Year Platinum Care Extended Parts & Labor Warranty as for you HDD and raid, forget it, first off raid does not improve seektime, which is the most important, second wait till end of this year when the prices drop and just get an SSD, it will blow the raid you have out of water

	My pleasure, ya when I find a respectable place that is doing things right and truly care about customer happiness, specially these days, I promote the hell out of them, so I'm here a lot helping people and making sure they get the best bang for the buck be sure to re config cause there will be new things out and prices will be different good luck
