Very, very nice upgrades. Those are, far and away, the best web pages I have seen for this site, and they put me in mind of web pages for the major partners for NVidia and ATI. Everyone at DSO must be *very* excited.
 
Edit: Oh, and you make me sad Cry... I would have selected that Antec case in a second. LOL Seriously, it's great to see a truly performance minded case for the entry level consumer.

Very professional looking and just as important..very eye catching.  It appears the buyer will be able to navigate in a more organized manner.  Kudos to DSO & the team for a well designed web site!

I would get rid of the console forums and maybe merge the media forums together.

i agree with sky and id suggest merging:

news/announce + reviews/awards/events
 
gaming servers -> game section
 
remove extreme overclocking or merge it with performance
 
remove drivers
 
mmo + rpg in gaming
 
strategy + rts in gaming
 
flight + racing in gaming
 
screenshots + pictures in media
 
the idea behind all this is to expand right to left instead of down the page; and it promotes keeping each topic busy instead of having 20 and 5 that are acually used

I'd suggest:

Digital Storm
News & Annoucements
Customer Reviews
Configuration Discussion
Industry News

Computer Related

Technical Assistance
Performance Related (Overclocking, benchmarking, tweaks, and cooling)
Hardware Discussion <-- half the threads in general is about hardware so i think this would be a good addition.
Software Discussion <-- talk about operating systems and firewalls etc

Lobby
General Discussion
Multimedia
Storm Drain

Gaming
MMORPG
FPS
RTS
Other

Doesn't seem like many are interested in talking about racing or simulation games =\

It is really annoying to see mostly only three forums that have active discussions =p

Scared me at first when I logged on.  Like the new site but though the forums were gone.  A bit of searching and I found it.

I have one very minor suggestion.

When you click on the DigitalStorm site logo at the top of the page, it should take you to the home page.  It's a habit and something of a standard.
