I received my system about a month ago, but i was so busy i never had a chance to put up a review so here it is. First the system specs and pictures.
System Configuration: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Pre-built Digital Storm ODE Level 4 Exterior Finish: White Exterior Paint Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7 3930K 3.20GHz (Unlocked CPU for Extreme Overclocking) (Six Core) Motherboard: ASUS P9X79 DELUXE (Intel X79 Chipset) (Features USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s) System Memory: 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance Series (High-Performance) Power Supply: 1050W Corsair Pro Silver 1050HX (Dual/Triple/Quad SLI Compatible) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (120GB Solid State (By: Corsair) (Model: Force GT Series CSSD-F120GBGT-BK) (SATA 6Gbps) Set 1 Raid Options: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: 1x (1TB Hitachi/Seagate (7200 RPM) (32MB Cache) Hard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No Thanks Optical Drive 1: Blu-Ray Player/DVD Writer (Play Blu-Ray and Burn DVDs) Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Video Card(s): 2x CrossFire Dual (ATI Radeon HD 7970 3GB) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 2: Corsair H100 Liquid CPU Cooler (240mm Radiator) (High-Performance Edition) H20 Tube Color: - Not Applicable, I do not have a FrostChill or Sub-Zero LCS Cooling System Selected Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (Red) Enhancements: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks CPU Boost: Stage 2: Overclock CPU 4.5GHz to 4.8GHz (Requires Pro or Deluxe Series Motherboard) Graphics Boost: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) Memory Boost: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my memory OS Boost: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Windows Recovery Toolkit (Bundled with Windows 7 CD) Virus Protection: - No Thanks Office: - No Thanks Game: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: FREE: Digital Storm T-Shirt - Black (Large) Priority Build: Ship Within 3-5 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Customer Care with 4 Year Limited Warranty The shipping was not a problem for the computer since DSO did a very nice job packing the system, but when it arrived i checked all connections and hardware to make sure it was all good and in doing so i found one of the graphics cards was loose. but that was a simply fix :). First power up went very smoothly and fast with the ssd drive. The computer is extremely fast at playing games on very high graphics. multitasking is very easy with this computer since it is so fast. Also video editing and making large size videos is done with ease thanks to 16gb ram and the oc'ed 6 core processor. Overall I am extremely pleased with my system and I recommend Digital Storm to all my friends for there next computer.

Very nice congrats. How are the noise levels on that system? All those 120mm fans must be having a party in there

The noise levels are not to bad considering all the 120's. The only time its really loud is on start up and when ive been on a game for more than 3 hours on max graphics then its a little louder but not too bad :)

Hi Reddevil, thanks for your report. You have a nice system. I like that white case.

@bprat22 Thanks man I love it :). @FrankW yes they were connected when i removed the side cover. They are long cables so you can open it while its connected.

Thanks for the information. They use to leave them unconnected and I am glad to see they have changed their procedure.
