Looks nice but wild horses can't drag me away from DS. When ever it can match the quality and performance of a comparable DS system, then we can talk, but I will be honest, at that point, I would just say its a nice system but I would still buy PCs from DS.

I'm an EVGA fan anyways

wellllll they look nice, but they seem to be a bit on the more expensive side of things. Its really not going to be for everyone. They include the service where they come to your house to set up your computer and come back after a few months I am thinking for a follow-up and do a check up on your system and update it. Just seems like a waste when you can do those yourself.

Big%20smile Well I was not posting to lure any one away, nor to compare or justify price. Just a FYI. Pretty bold move to go into the boutique computer bizz right now. I did spend 5k plus here and am nothing but happy thus far so I didnt feel it inapropriate to post this. Sorry if it offended anyone.
 
I came here from the Voodoo forums. My last computer was a Voodoo pre HP merger. The forums were the strength ... nothing to hide Problems were transparent.. service was very good. Actually it is/was the similarities here that drew me in. I had reffered a friend who purchased a DS rig while I was still contemplating vendors. He was also very happy.

Hey Caymus what is your Voodoo forum name??? I did not think I would find another Voodoo user here. I have one of their Laptops pre HP merger as well. They are awesome. I cannot afford their OMEN hence my looking somewhere else for a PC. Then I stumbled upon here and the forums is exactly what attracted me, seemed a lot like Voodoo, and I trust them completely. They are very expensive but those guys in the forums are absolutely awesome. Its nice to see someone from there Ouch

O BTW this is Trojan from there if you used to visit the boards when they were still called the mutthaboards.

yAp the Muthaboards ... interesting place. Remeber Zane? He is an attorney here in Phx. I don't know him though. 

Can't remeber the name off hand now but there was a guy who was into wines <as I am>. Anyway I was the one who when posting the pics of the computer included pictures of my wine cellar. Not sure if that will jar your memory or not. That is where Caymus came from. California Cab, I also use the names Borrolo & Brunello ( Italian ) in Eve. Caymus on WoW. Went by Pirate in old Red Baron & Air Warrior as well as Aces High. Pi was what it got shortened to.
 
When you think about it many / most boutique computer companies do not have forums like this. I think we know why also <g>

Yuck.  I don't like all that black on their web site.  Feels like a morgue.

I dont remember seeing you maybe you were there before I started going there. I know Zane he does not come to the boards anymore, havent seen him in a while, I rarely go there myself. Other than that I think you are talking about Seamaster or Iago.
