...And pleased that I did.  Finally ordered my new DS computer today. The salemen Gerardo (hope that's how he spells it) was awesome! He did an wonderful job helping me tweak a rig for my needs, and was not just some a salesman trying to burn every penny out of me he could. In fact,he knew what I was willing to spend and did not take advantage of me. The price for the computer we built came in WAY under what I was initially willing pay. It's that type of service that has kept me, and will keep me coming back, and referring friends to DS for my future gaming needs.

Now, I once again I have to suffer through the whole "Stage," waiting game!Ninja Big%20Smile

Your experiences with DS not trying to force additional things down your throat mirror my own. I sincerely hope that DS never changes in that philosophy even as they grow (which they will because they are awesome). The day I contact DS and they try to force feed me a warranty upgrade, or a some component I don't need, will be a sad day indeed.

Congrats on your 2nd time around the block! Awesome

Got the 'Stage 7' message, so I hopped in the car and flew 15 minutes south to pick up my new baby.Once again, I walked in was greeted by the receptionist who called the back. A few minutes later a gentleman came out with my baby on a cart. He went over all of the rig giving me the run down on everything. He helped me outside and I hopped in my car and headed home.

Once I got home, I hooked her up (typing from it now)...man I love it runs VERY quite, it's like comparing a 155mm Howitzer to a suppressed pistol  when compared to my old set up, and holy smokes  is it fast totally blows my old rig out of the water. Thanks DS I'm sure i'll be coming back for 3rds when the time comes! Total turn around time 6 days! Including the weekend!

TLDR; Got my new computer and it surpasses my expectations. Thanks DS
