I have built every machine I've owned with the exception of my latest purchase (which was purchased from DSO). After I spent a while debating what exactly I wanted to do with my new computer, I narrowed down my search to a custom machine by Digital Storm. After I decided that, I spent a good two weeks tweaking configurations, analyzing the pre-builds, and asking others for their opinion on my configurations. I finally signed up on the forum and some knowledgable people assisted me in my decision to choose what computer I wanted to buy.
I gotta tell you, I do not regret it. I've never owned a machine that had so much thought put into the bulid process. Once I opened up the computer I couldn't believe how clean the wire management was and how solid and perfected everything was constructed and put together. I could never build a computer this well put together, and I'm glad I put forth the extra money to have Digital Storm put together my machine. I honestly can't wait until I need another computer.

Yessir. I actually didn't know it came with that. Along with the case lighting on the bottom. Fun addition. |

Just curious...cause when I finally get mine....some day in the future...damn the wait is killing me....it would be kewl to show the colors in the pix that I post here...however...it will really be kewl...just to get the machine to show up at my house. I know I only ordered it last night...but this wait is getting ridiculous:)

the case itself comes with LED fans maj, you can choose to add more LEDs but your should look ok with stock fans

hey nice rig, i just got mine today and i was amazed at the blue LEDs on the RAM fans... and that Noctua stage 2 is HUGE! i have it too ...... im debating on gettin a blue LED fan for the front of mine so it isnt red but i actually dont mind the 2 colors together, cause my Mouse has blue lights and my keyboard has the orangeish red glow to it so its all good i think.... CONGRATS!
::::::::EDIT:::::::::
I am confused that you got the same CD drive set up but i have a completely different one than you... all mine has on the front is SUPER WRITMASTER and Speedplus.... ... just noticed it Edited by Bigmyk24 - 21 Aug 2009 at 1:44am |

I'm sure the specs are the same. Not much to worry about. |
