It's been a little over two years since I ordered and received my DS Dreadnought, and it's working just as well as it did right out of the box.  Since I don't see the model in the DS desktop line-up anymore, I guess it's time was up.
The only point of note is that the Coolermaster HAF box is great for airflow, but as one would expect it's quite the dust sucker.  The front and side filters are easy to clean, and the filters do a great job catching most of the dust suckage.  Not much to blow out of the insides, but I do it every few months anyway to keep it nice and tidy. 
My DS box has a Sandy Bridge i5, and is still running the original 500GB SSD.  I may migrate to a good SSD, but for the most part, I'm happy with what I have and don't want to set forth trying to fix what isn't broken.
 
You guys make some really good stuff.  I'm not a gamer, but I like speed, performance, and dependability.  Moreover, I like the idea of a custom built system made and tested in the United States, and one built without manufacturer bloatware.
 
Regards,
Kelly D.

Gotta get that positive pressure down (and by down, I mean have a lot of positive pressure...) to keep the dust out.
