Topic: Ode 3Posted: 14 Feb 2012 at 12:09am |

So I've been saving for a while and am very shortly ready to buy the ODE 3. Just a couple questions. I got 2500 budget can go max of 3k if its worth it. I play swtor, skyrim, witcher and games like that. I use fraps and post you tube buddies. is this the best buy for the money. I would like some future proofing. Also are any changes coming to this build as some of the others have changed? Thanks so much

Hi Omicron,
I think the ODE-3 is the best computer deal that DS has. You won't be disappointed with its performance playing up to 1920x1200 resolution. DS builds their ODE computers in a block of a certain number of unites for each level. The ODE-3 has had a few changes over its life. You will find that when a new group of ODE computers are made the equipment and cost is based on what is available at the time of the construction. DS has done a good job of keeping the cost the same with each build but has changed configurations in some cases. My recommendation is if you see an ODE that you like, buy it. You never know when that series will run out and they build a group of new ODEs for that level. That new build may not be the same as the last build. It could have less desirable equipment or it could have better equipment. The one think you can be certain about is how ever DS builds their ODE computers they will be a great buy. So far, they have been the best performance for the least money of any computer available from DS. Frank Edited by FrankW - 15 Feb 2012 at 8:48am |

Hi Omicron welcome to DS !!!
As FrankW said you can't go wrong with DS or with any one of the ODE's. However if you want a little more of a custom computer you can go with Config 653989 Cost $2957. This will give you a better case, better PSU, and a better cooler. Like I said, you can't go wrong with the ODE 3 and if you don't want the added expense it will do what you want and more. That being said the custom config I linked will allow for better cooling and upgrades down the road !!! These are the best two options for your budget and both will provide you with the next level of gaming !! Edited by Sgt.Moore - 14 Feb 2012 at 6:38am |

Thanks!!! I am super excited but it is always nice to hear from someone who owns it. Especially when they play the same games. Thank you for your input. It was a nice chunk of change for me but I fully belive I won't be dissapointed.
