I see a lot these system on DS main page offer vista home edition only. Isn't Vista ultimate 64 bit better than home edition? I know XP home was terrible. So really what I'm asking is getting something

Overclocked Stable to 3.7GHz
FREE CPU Liquid Cooling
FREE Windows 7 Upgrade
Processor: Intel Core i7 920
Memory: 6GB DDR3 1600MHz
Motherboard: EVGA X58M
Graphics: 2x SLI Dual GTX 275
Power Supply: Silent 1000W
Storage: 1TB 7200RPM
 
For $1946 better than just trying to go through and customizing it myself.. The only game I really play is CS:S on my computer. I might try some different games out for it though but the main game is CS:S which something like this is probably overkill.

Lmao, for CS:S a single 260 will get you like 400fps at 2500x1600

That's all I needed to know. What about Vista? Is home decent or should I get Ultimate. Also, would it run great with other games? By the way with these special deals you don't get the choice to choose a sound card which mean you're stuck with on board sound. Is anyway for me to get a better sound card out of it?

When i bought my pre build from digital storm a few month's ago.I was told that if i wanted upgrade's that i would have to send my pc back to them after i have received it.Also upgrade's wheater you choose to do yourself or have digital storm do will not void your warrenty.So it's a little bit of a hassel to send your pc back but atleast you'll have expert tech's installing any and all that you want.Ouch

All I'd be looking do is put a sound card( X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional) which they offer to put in in their non prebuilded pc. I'd understand sending it back in of you want the stage four liquid cooling but for a sound card I'd take my chances. Thanks for that info that helps me out in future purpose.

If you begged someone enough you might be able to convince them to add the sound card.

As I see it reads Digital Storm Engineering on you name. So here goes nothing.
 
PLEASE! IIs there anyway for me to get a sound card added to one of your prebuild pc? I'm on my knees begging you, I really want a DS computer and don't want a another crappy computer from(a company remain anonymous) even though more than likely I still be placing an order for a DS pc. I'm at your mercy!

Well, that was kinda pathetic.  I would've said, "If you want my business I'll need you to put that soundcard in it and I'll be happy to pay the difference."  You're the customer and money talks.

The only difference between Vista Premium and Vista Ultimate are three features (read-up on them).  I had Premium and now have Ultimate and games run no different on either one.  Run a minimum of 4GIGS of RAM and you're fine.  However, You will need to play with the resolution a bit and some in-game settings depending on which game you're running.  Some are more taxing than others but that has nothing to do with your OS and everything to do with your CPU, GPU and RAM.

Yea I could of gone the customer you need me more than I need you routine, but I've seen that plenty of times blow in peoples faces. The fact is I'm out computer right now, so really how much do I need them and by looking at it they could go without my business. So I decided to go the pathetic route. I would pay the difference doesn't bother me much.
