Anyone else here waiting to receive your system? Its been a long agonizing wait, but I know it'll be worth it. If you so happen to be in same situation as me, post down below. Also, throw in your system specs.

Ordered on May 9th, stage 3 the 15th, and Yes, the wait is tough, but I’ve been here before and know what to expect.
Ordered a Lumos build, level 4, configuration # 1924663.

Me. I think I am in the worse spot as far as waiting go. I just ordered my system last night (5/27) around 10:30 - 11 pm (after spending nearly the whole weekend, deciding on vendors to go with testing configs, running financials and then double checking my budget, etc. etc. as silly as it sounds it was exhausting and stressful -- I don't take buying expensive things lightly and I'm OCD with money management.)
I'm very excited, for many years I built my own systems I bought my last system but don't really count it because it was a cheapo from best buy....I count this DS system as my first true pre-built custom gaming system. Chasis: Bolt X CPU: i7-8700k Mem: 16 gb 3000mhz DDR4 GPU: GTX 1080 Performance Edition I don't spend big on myself...me spending a couple thousand on myself and not a home improvement or to fix my car, etc.. this is out of character for me....all the more reason I'm super hyped like a little kid waiting for Christmas. |

Welcome to DS. yes, you have a little wait ahead of you but will forget it once you get your systems.  @Tomsal: That is one of the proprietary cases and very nice.  You did good  and will be very happy for years to come.Edited by hoserator - 28 May 2018 at 6:37am |

Its been 5 days and still in (Stage 1). [Small kine dying of the wait lol, first time buying a pre-built system] Been told that they ordered my case and my pc could be built beginning of July. Im excited to get my system already but the wait feels so long and its agonizing. |

Thank you!
I got the Vanquish 7 (best) version. Honestly I have been thinking about buying from them for about 2 weeks and only acted upon it a few days ago. That is probably why the wait feels so long. But I kind of hope it turns out great because I usually don't spend about $2000 anywhere at once. |

Wow really? Mines wont start being built until July which I find odd. A whole month for a case to be delivered before they can actually start building? I want to ask but I'm scared of being a bother. But congrats on grabbing that Vanquish level 4 system.

Ordered mine on May 28th, still in Phase 1. Ordered the Lumos, "level 4". Might give them a shout soon to see how things are shaping up if I don't hear anything in a couple days. Every time I get an email notification on my phone I'm like is this it? Is it them?! It isn't.

I do the same thing, I am always on the lookout and expecting it to be them but then get disappointed when its not. If you do decide to hit them up then keep me posted. Maybe mines in within the same group they building systems are in. |

Heard back from someone via email when asking about the status of my rig and all that was said was they're doing everything they can to speed up the builds but they have a bit of a backlog they're working through. Sadness has taken me into its arms...

Mine entered Phase 3 (Stage 1 Assembly & Testing) on 28 May. Still there so far. I bought a Slade with the Corsair inverted Quiet 600Q along with a i7-7820X, 1080ti Card, 500GB Samsung 970EVO etc. Already have my new monitor, the Acer 27" Predator WQHD IPS (still in the box awaiting the computer!).
This is my 5th Digital Storm and know I have to be patient, but it is hard........... |

I ordered mine on May 28th and it’s still stuck on Phase 1. I have heard they take quite a while so hopefully it won’t be much longer.
Digital Storm Slade PRO AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920x 12-core 64gb ddr4 ram 6gb GeForce GTX 1060 500gb ssd m.2 storage 3tb Seagate Storage Nothing too fancy as I don’t do much gaming. More for business but I wanted the best and I heard Digital Storm was the best. We will see. |

My 1st Digital Storm (also first *real* gaming rig I ever bought pre-built, I normally put my own systems together myself) - also ordered 5/28 (well 5/27 technically but it was late at night). Another commonality -- I also have an Acer Predator WQHD headed my way (I ordered the Z321QU 31.5") . Just got gigabit internet installed today and the cable installer ran new coax to get rid of some interference so now my signal is clean. My office is all cleaned as well.. So I'm all set -- just need my DS system...well and that Predator to arrive and I'm in gamer heaven. |

Update on my system for those wanting to see some wait times for theirs.
I ordered my Vanquish system level 3 on the 29th of May. On the 7th day of June it went to stage 2 and stage 3. Then later i was notified that on June 11th that it had entered stage 4 and stage 5. May 29:Ordered June 7: Stage 2 June 7: Stage 3 June 11: Stage 4 June 11: Stage 5 It is so close and I honestly cannot wait any longer! I just want it now. I also ordered a MSI MAG24C monitor with the purchase. Then some steelseries gear and another monitor for my setup totaling it to about $1000 for gear and $1500 for system! |

Pretty soon you will be making the offering to the shipping gods for a safe journey through the valley.

Considerable update on my Bolt X that was ordered at night May 27th (but it was a weekend so processing didn't start until May 28th) ...
Stage 1: 5/29 Stage 2: 6/2 Stage 3: 6/8 Stage 4: 6/13 Stage 5: 6/13 Stage 6: 6/15 Stage 7: 6/15 ARRIVED!!! 6/22! EDIT: Deleted my last entry (of me whining for it to get here) I received my Bolt X today! I'm blown away guys...no BS its better than I expected. The build quality of the case alone is incredible, the cable management is perfection. I *JUST* got it setup (and cleaned up my office of some junk/trash) ...I'll make a proper review post with pictures after I have more time with this thing. Thank you Digital Storm....Great job!
