My New Rig

Greetings All,

Gaming resolution 1920 x 1080, but if I can go higher I would like to.

Wondering if any changes should be made before the stress test begins.

you want the corsair psu and why 2 x 5850? overkill and pointless, 1 x 5870 is all you need and if your monitor get bigger then you just add another 5870.

lol is there an echo in this thread? j/k

Thank you for the quick reply.

Do you think I should get the display monitor somewhere else like Newegg?

Also I thought HD 2850x2 (Crossfire) would be nice.

I'm new and appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Thank you!

You saved me a grand.  WOOT!

Sarah was very helpful with the changes.

I get a refund. WOOT!

By the way.....

CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never ever received this level of service for any electronics.

I am sooo telling my friends and family about Digital Storm.

Thank again.

HAPPY FACE!

2 5850's are nearly twice as fast as 1 5870...

just telling it how it is.

Just saw some awesome HD 5870 reviews on Youtube.

This card ROCKS!

Looking forward to getting 3 monitors someday (one for now).

As of yesterday my rig was in stage 6.  ETA is today. WOOT!

I wish there was a way to track the package as it gets closer to my home.

I just got a voice mail from Sarah saying that a part needed (corsair power supply) is out of stock until January 19th.

How did I get to Stage 6 with a part missing?

I do appreciate the call for the delay.  I've been looking out my window every time I heard a truck/van drive by.

Thank you Alex for letting me know how to track the package.  Definitely going to track this baby as it gets closer to me.

Edit: I just got an email from Sarah as well informing me of the delay.

I must say that the customer service for DS far exceeds any other electronic company I have ever dealt with before.  Definitely recommending DS to friends and family and online gamers.

Finally made Stage 7. WOOT!

Anyone know how to get the tracking number?

Getting my DS some time today.

WOOT!

I only have a phone for a camera...so pics may come much much later.

This is the fastest PC I ever had.

This is the quietest PC I ever had.

Thank you all for your help.

I have been running some test, but so far this is awesome.

I did get some un-needed software and manuals.

I got the installation disc and manual for Sapphire ATI HD 5870 (I have the XFX version).

I plan to write a review after some tests.

WOOT!
