What an amazing experience I just encountered with the Digital Storm Team. Let me rewind this and start from the beginning. My son has been wanting a new gaming computer for months and I have looked at Best Buy, as well as online, to see what is out there. I like to think that I am pretty tech savvy, but I will admit that when looking at gaming PCs, there is a lot to learn. My son kept telling me about this brand called DigitalStorm. I knew nothing about your company and basically just lumped you with all the others that I was looking at. How dumb was I? I finally listened to my son who had done his homework on these, as he watched endless hours of YouTube videos of the DigitalStorm builds. We went to the website, he picked out the configuration that he wanted, and I placed the order. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect after the order was placed but I was pleasantly surprised. I was getting email updates on the progress of the build and I felt that I was right alongside the team on the assembly line as they put this together. It was build and delivered in about a week and when it arrived I was just as excited as my son. This was supposed to be a Christmas present, but we couldn't wait until then. I needed to see this beast! After opening the box, I was in awe at how well it was packaged and after getting it out of the box, I was even more amazed! We got it hooked up and it fired up like a champ. He said that this PC is just what he needed to take his game to the next level. I HIGHLY recommend this company if you are in the market for a gaming set-up! They are top-notch and their product stands above the rest!

Welcome to the family!
Bet your post is pretty popular with the DS boys and girls, considering all the pretty harsh flak they've been taking lately.
I'd like to know what that Cool Dude picked for his rig, too. Gotta love that light show. Thanks for the pics!

Me too! I was brought up with Pong so trying to relate to today's skillset to play these games is something hard to comprehend. Have a great Christmas and stay safe! |

I honestly didn't know the Lynx Ultimate looked that good until just now. Impressive! It's a darned good rig for the money IMHO.
