    Posted: 20 Aug 2009 at 3:12am
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.

Thank you, from a satisfied customer.

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

Fun addition.

CONGRATS!
::::::::EDIT:::::::::

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