Dreadnought: A DS Beauty: My Review

Almost one week after receiving this benchmark eating monster, it's time to review this beautifully crafted desktop that has been everything I expected and more. The DS customer service was excellent from the very beginning, and everything looks professionally done. Wires are tucked neatly away, and the machine itself is reasonably silent despite the number of fans this beast is loaded with. I was worried about the thrashing it would take from FedEx, and even though the box itself was a little beat up, the system didn't suffer a scratch thanks to the excellent job they did packing it away.

As for performance, it has slaughtered everything I have thrown at, completely maxed out at the highest settings possible, without even breaking a sweat. It stays cool and quiet and not a single graphical glitch. The true test, and one of the reasons why I purchased this beauty, will come on October 25th with the release of Battlefield 3, and I expect it to deliver in every way possible


Digital Storm, you guys blew me away. I'm glad I chose y'all, and will be sure to refer all of my friends to you if they ever want to purchase a new PC. Thanks for everything you guys have done! (and a special thanks to DST4ME for helping me out with the specs a few months ago. thanks man)

I'm not sure if it was just the camera angle or not, but the lighting in your case is really cool, its almost as if there is a clear-cut line, with the top area of the case being blue, and the bottom being read from the stock case lights, totally digging it .

As for the Certified Customer, mine didn't show up at first either, make sure that the email you associated with the purchase and the email associated with your forum account are the same, that fixed it for me.

Congrats!  

I Knew that would look good but damn, thats even better then I thought Congrats

email alex with your order, your email here has to match your email on the order and you get verified.

Originally posted by DST4ME thank yourself, you made smart choices and ended up with a smart/powerful system

And he almost never says that.

LOL thats not true, everybody that got a smart/powerful system has got a "good job" from me
