Gizmodo Tested 4 Computers:

Fairly good read... the only reason the other system beat the DS one was because it had a SSD.

This is what they had to say about the Ode V2 they tested:
Digital Storm

Now this is a good, old-fashioned gaming PC. Just look at that white Corsair Graphite 600T case-it's absolutely huge, totally ostentatious, and looks vaguely like a Stormtrooper. It's got a window, for Christ's sake. A window, so you can see the aftermarket lighting. This is the kind of case that will make you the coolest kid at the LAN party, if you don't throw your back out getting it there.

The hardware's about the same as you find in the Potenza, although it forgoes the SSD caching for a single 1TB hard drive. It boots slower, but if you're the downloading type, the extra 500GB could come in handy. The CPU is also overclocked to a healthy 4.4GHz, and the case has tons of room to drop in extra memory, storage, and additional cards. The GTX 670 video card is great for running in SLI mode, which means that you can add a second copy of the same card for a big boost in performance. This can be a perfect way to extend the life of your computer without paying too much, and the Digital Storm system is the only 670-sporting PC in our list that's got enough room to double up.

The case has a full complement of USB, audio and Firewire connections right in front, and it never gets too loud. It's so convenient that you almost wonder why everybody doesn't use cases like this. Until you remember exactly why everyone doesn't use cases like this: It's frickin' huge. The PC is far away the largest and heaviest of the bunch. If your desk has a designated cabinet or alcove for a computer, this system won't fit in it. If you put the system on top of your desk, either because it doesn't fit underneath or you just really want to show off the custom lighting, you can kiss your peripheral vision goodbye.

This Digital Storm system is powerful, looks great, and will be easy to keep updated for years to come, but if you're thinking about buying one, bust out the measuring tape and make sure you've got room first.
