Shipped! (Pics to come)

Let me first start off by saying...The wait is unbearable. For those of you soon to order be prepared for the most anticipated two weeks of your life. I think my girlfriend almost broke up with me several times after getting sick of hearing me whine about it.

I would like to especially thank DST4ME and Justin.kerr. You both are very knowledgeable and I can say I learned a lot.

I did A LOT of research before I finally decided to settle with Digital Storm. I looked at reseller rating sites and read just about every post from every major company selling custom made computers. Digital Storm is by far the best there is out there and I am 100% confident in my purchase.

Customer service is something we rarely hear about being good. It is so difficult to find a company that actually cares about its customers and Digital Storm is one of those companies.
I originally started off with the Acer 23" Monitor. I got a call from Eric telling me that they no longer carried the 23" and asked if for 25$ more I would move up to a 24". I said "Sure, why not?" ..About five minutes later I got a voicemail from Eric apologizing and saying that it was actually 63$ for the upgrade. I was about to call him and verify that 63$ was fine when he called back again and apologized for the mistake and said "Don't worry about it, that was my mistake and since I told you it would only be 25$ we're not going to charge you the 63$"

I've never seen a company that voluntarily would give a discount like that...Simply Amazing.

Now DST4ME ...I know you disagree with a couple of these configurations but I'm set on that Asus mobo and I'll be sure to let you know how it runs!

Pics to come in a few days once the PC arrives.

Thank you all again and CHOOSE DIGITAL STORM!

he'll probably upgrade in 3 years, so the bad asus support wouldnt matter

I don't think he is upgrading in 3 years lol.

lol then that proves my point but all joking aside, I hope it works great for you for many years
