    Posted: 27 Jul 2012 at 3:44pm
I am pleased to announce that today, expert computer builders Digital Storm completed the Black Sheep project.

One Digital Storm employee referred to me as "the guy who wanted the Aventum all crazy!!"

I wear this label with pride.

The system will be packed this weekend and leave Digital Storm's secret, underground, ninja protected, combo, biometric locked, T-Virus proof, facility.

I was given a picture (which has rulers on it for measurement so I won't show it) and I must say, it passes my wishes vastly in every regard.

Stage 8 has begun.

Just curious how different is this aventum from others and you mind sharing the cost?

The case was painted inside and out, the aventum bracket was redone, the color were all removed and the case was broken down to its literal pieces.  The parts went to a different company after being hand sanded and were repainted a new color so vinyl could be done later.  Acrylic glass was added to change the logo design, colored mesh was added, custom sleeves, cooling colors, prob several other things I've missed.

I think I spent 500 *max* in extra cost?  Prob 300.  Not bad at all.
I don't know if it'll be a featured system shot or not - but I have to tell you, its demonstrative to how DS will help you get the system you want.

Alex, Mr. Thanh Phan, Lars and several other people are most likely glad to be done as I had weekly phone/email meetings with them, I instructed pictures for every change, if I requested it or not.  They follow through and have ensured every person that ever asks me for a computer or talks with me about my gaming at PGLs will hear the name of Digital Storm - the only serious computer for the serious user.

Other thanks include - BPratt, FrankW, (Alex of course - sorry for all the emails), John, Lars and any other user I might have missed.

Oh and if you meant total cost?  Approximately, 10700.

Sorry Shot - the tape measure really distracts from the photo or I'd post it.

Sure, sure, but you could always let me decide.
 
Is it wrong to have buyers remorse?
I have a kick ass system that will last me years and I'm seriously condsidering an Aventum.
 
Forgive me, I'm polish.

your system will last you years to come once you get above 3500 you are not really buying future proof components but more just bragging rights lol which are awsome. You will easilly beable to upgrade your system once ivy bridge e comes out and the gtx 700 series etc.

White with blue.  Nice and classy.
 
I was thinking I want mine to be Flat Dark Earth (case) and Black accents with White lighting.

The only problem I have is - if you guys go out of business I'm going to have to give up PC gaming.  Nobody else will ever build a PC for me again.
