    Posted: 06 Jan 2011 at 9:59pm

I'm planning on building a new computer, what I haven't decided is if
I’m going to get Digital Storm to build it or not, I like what I see though
as far as community and customer service, however I would want to tweak
and design pretty much from the ground up, as I’ve always done with builds.


With work crazy busy and such it’s hard to find the time so if I can get everything want and ship it to Digital Storm that would be great. I should note that I’ve never gone way to extreme I only know so much and with so much expected later this year *new socket* ect I doubt I’m going to buy or get Digital Storm to build this for awhile, later towards the end of the year. My goal is to get a good base as far as custom parts go, case, fans, rads, water cooling, everything but the motherboard*new socket*, I will add that I already have a rampage III extreme but if I plan on upgrading to the new socket that means a new motherboard. Anyways I would like to get some help as far as parts go, I will be upgrading my main computer case Lian-Li Armorsuit PC-P80, I plan on ordering a mountain mods.


Will probably go with the Acension configured like this:
*note picture does resemble the configuration

Ascension CYO (Choose Your Own)

- Acrylic Color Clear

- Finish Mirror Black

- Motherboard Tray XL-ATX

- Side 1 Acrylic Panels

- Side 2 Triple Quad

- Side 3 Acrylic Panels

- Back Panel Type Horizon 10

- Front Panel Type 720 Quad

- Window Etching None

In case you couldn't read the picture text.
Any help and or advice is greatly appreciated, I should also note my budget is or has to be under 12k for everything*says the wife* she gets her new kitchen and bathroom and I get my office and garage this includes re-doing the office but the main part is the rig itself give or take it may seem like a high budget but I figure total everything parts wise and remodeling some is reasonable considering I’ve seen rigs with all the work and parts/mods costing some of the guys 15k+, but I do have bins filled with spare and past builds as well.

Configuration - In the works.

not to discourage you from shopping around, but if you arent looking to buy for that long, its tough to bother planning, so many things will change in 6-10 months that it will be a wasted effort
