Topic: My second Digital Storm OTW Posted: 15 Dec 2017 at 2:20pm |
I bought my first Digital Storm computer back in 2011 and I'm still using it today with a few upgrades including 8mb to 16mb Ram and a Geforce 1070. I still love my system that plays all the current games. So why did I need a new system you ask. Well my son is now 16 and loves PC games. Well I been wanting to play games with him for a long time. So now that I have some extra money I went ahead and bought myself a new Digital Storm PC for myself and passed my old DS system to him so we can finally play together.
Let me know what you think of the setup. Thank you Digital Storm. I chose wisely.
