Hello!

I've been messing around with one Digital Storm configuration or another for quite some time now, and I think I've found the one I want, but I do have some questions.

The build is:  127236

 Case: Digital Storm 850Si (Exotic Interior StormBlue Finish)
Power Supply: 750W Corsair HX (Dual SLI Compatible) (Silent Edition)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz (1066MHz FSB) (8MB Cache)

Memory: 2GB DDR2 Corsair at 800MHz XMS2 (Dual Channel) (Performance)
Floppy / Card: - No Thanks
Hard Drive 1: 80GB Western Digital (8MB Cache) (7200 RPM) (SATA)
Hard Drive 2: - No Thanks
Raid Option: - No Thanks

Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks
Network Card: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections)
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 8500GT 512MB (By: eVGA) (PCI-Express)
TV Tuner: - No Thanks
Sound Card: Motherboard Multi-Channel High Definition Audio
Physics Card: - No Thanks

LCD Display: - No Thanks
Surge Shield: - No Thanks
Speakers: - No Thanks
Keyboard: - No Thanks
Mouse: - No Thanks
Warranty: 3 Year Platinum Care Extended Parts & Labor Warranty
Support: Lifetime Toll-Free Platinum Care Technical Support

Now the questions:
  1. Could I get some pictures of the 850 case with the blue paint and white cathode kit?  This is a big part of my purchase and my purchase decision, so it has to look right.
  2. In my current machine I have an nVidia 8800 GTX that I would love to "recycle" into a new machine.  Hence the cheap-o GFX selection.
  3. I can't decide between the 550W PSU and the 750W.  Please advise.
  4. I will probably go with a bigger HDD.  In the long run it just makes sense over saving a few bucks.  Probably 320, we'll see.
  5. Are your DVD burners SATA devices?  If not, is it possible to get one.
  6. Do you allow for custom orders on a build, for example, I would love to have a 16GB MTRON MOBI SSD in my machine - would DS purchase that for me and install it (of course I would pay a small fee for the special order and expect it to delay the overall build).
That's about it.  Hope to hear from someone soon!

I am not sure how this post fell through the cracks, but the bottom line is that after not getting a single bit of feedback, I have opted to go with Solaris PC. 

Best wishes to all at DS!

I hate it when this happens. We patrol the forums, but how vigilant can we be? If you don't hear back from us here on the forums within a day or two... Try giving us a call, it's why we're here.

He probably missed the email config for review option when he was playing with the customize screen.

The forums should be the last place you go when you want answers fast.
 
#1 Call DS
#2 Email DS
#3 Post on Forums

#4 Send them snail mail with an Elvis 25th Anniversary edition postage stamp.

In retrospect, those questions could have easily gone in a config email, but I wanted to support your effort to build community by posting them here.  Oh well.
 
Maybe next time I'll buy Digital Storm!

Sam,
Avarice nailed this on the head, but I'd like to kindly offer two pieces of advice for next time.
 
First of all, register with the forum. If someone had responded to your question, you wouldn't have received a reply email. Unless you use Comcast. Comcast seems to block emails from DSO.
 
Second, standard forum protocol seems to be that if you don't get a response to your first post, type "bump" in areply to your own thread to "bump" the topic back to the top of the forum list.
 
Regards
