Digital Storm Reviews

I’ve also had a good experience with DS. Two computers for myself, also one for each of my sons and all four run great. First one had the video card die in 2 years but replaced with a better one from warranty.   DS will replace with the same or better if old model not available, at least several years ago.   Updated video card in another and that’s it.   

Good luck.

I've had two DS computers, and one for my daughter. They all have worked flawlessly out of the box. My first still works, but lagged pretty far behind the curve for gaming after 7.5 years, so I built another. I needed one fan in all that time. This one is still more than adequate with an i7-8700 six core CPU and a GTX 1070 8GB GPU, 16 GB of RAM. I did need a front case fan 3 years in. I think it cost me $14.

From a total time over the last 12 years of about six years on the Forums, The number of total busts delivered and complained of here are miniscule compared to thousands of systems that have worked as well as mine. I fully understand the profound disappointment with a faulty system, and the frustration with one that won't be easily diagnosed and fixed. Those are the worst.

Be assured that DS takes extreme care to send out every system in proper working order, down to burn-in and photographic evidence of all parts installed correctly and screen shots of performance to specs. When a build goes awry, it's something pretty unusual that happened after shipping in most cases. Alex, the director of customer service, has been here from the beginning, I think, almost a decade before me. He has demonstrated an unflagging desire to make every misbehaving system perform to the customer's expectations, WHATEVER IT TAKES!

If you have one, give him and his team the chance to make it right, and they will do so. In the mean time, let loose your disappointment and frustration if you choose, that's what the Forums are for. Just know from us veterans that satisfaction is their goal, and they will work very hard for it. Digital Storm shows an extraordinary dedication to service.

The Forum members including me will be ready with popcorn when the video comes out. Otherwise, we will just be happy to see the cool pictures!!!

I am so pleased to have enjoyed the benefit of gaming daily on Digital Storm performance systems for over 12 years. By the way, my 12 year old Digital Storm T-Shirt still fits and is something I wear proudly even today on special occasions.

This Forum & Alex's Digital Storm Professional Technical Staff amaze me in how they go that extra mile to ensure that their customers get what they paid for and often much more!

I like the name soulbringer, it sounds so much better than soultaker. :-)

What kind of system will number 5 be?

I am on number 2 and got my first Digital Storm 12 years ago. Still a great machine and in all that time all I had to replace was a fan. :-)

Having a brand new one is like going from a decent family car to a sports car that you can enjoy just looking at even when you are not using it.

soulbringer,

Beautiful system you have configured. I wish I would have been able to get the 12900 but they were just being offered after my system with a 5900 was already built and ready to ship.

I am not a good configurer myself and relied on the Forum before I finalized my order. I am sure there will be some comments on your configuration by the Forum crew.

You certainly will be impressed by your new system performance. It should be a screamer!!!

If your talking about my config. I have a spare 1TB SSD that I will install and load the OS on after it arrives. Yes thats a little big still but Prices on drives are much cheaper now, it seems worthless to buy anything smaller.
