Hi,

Glad to be on the forums and part of the community. I've been intrigued with digital storm's computers and quite envious of people that I see using them. I was wondering how someone can afford a $10,000 computer without credit? I don't have credit but I can afford monthly payments. Is there any way someone can purchase a digital storm computer with a payment plan putting money down as deposit?

Also, how does monthly payments work. Is it a PAY till done, or a certain amount of years that break down your payment. Kinda like buying a car?

BTW, I've quit smoking for 5 years now and realized that spending $3,888 to destroy my health should be working spending on a computer. If anyone is to ask why I'm willing to sacrifice for a $10,0000 rig. :)

Hi ankido,

Welcome to the forum.

Unless you have a credit card, Pay Pal account or cash you probably won't be able to swing a $10,000 DS computer. There is the option of getting a loan at a bank or credit union. All of this except cash takes good credit.

Your best bet may be to lower you sights and get a less expensive computer. The DS Vanquish 4 series of computers offer some very good performance for the money.

Good luck with what ever works out for you.

Frank

You can check out financing by clicking on Company at the top of the page, Financing and BillMeLater. It's PayPal as Frank suggested.

What are you looking for and what will it be used for? Don't have to spend that kind of money for a good gaming rig, unless you just want to.

Monthly payments are not a problem. It's not having credit that kills it. I was looking for a top of the line computer with the best equipment on the market. Getting tired of upgrading all the time. I just wanted something that would last me a long time before I began upgrading parts.

I'm a speed freak. I currently have:
i7 4770k 3.8ghz
16Gb memory
GeForce 780 GTX

I'm looking to play games on my 4k monitor and be able to work with multimedia. That Aventum 3 makes me want to sell my kidney.
