I purchased a Velox in July, and it was only on stage 3 for one day.

Man those are some solid specs. I'll get there one day, this is my first delve into PC gaming so I didn't want to go too big. Thanks for the reply, with things being backed up in the pc industry I was just curious.

Yeah, if this is your first delve into PC gaming, there is no reason to go for a high-end machine. Start with something affordable, and later on you can evaluate whether you need more.
My machine is built for gaming on a huge 38" monitor, and also for future tech that might arrive within a few years (like 8K monitors, or VR goggles with dual 4K displays.)

Yeah, currently the only game I play consistently is Rocket League and thats not a very demanding game at all. It will basically run smooth on a couple warm potatoes lol.

Asat,
I just ordered my new one and it is in stage 1. I think that number 1 means that it is already on the FedEx truck. 
Since this is my second DS beast replacing a 12 year old but feeling its age I know better but I can always hope.

Astat,
I am 69 so I can only hope I get mine while I am still on God's shiny side of the Earth. But to be honest this 12 year old DS beast still growls but I thought I should keep up to date. I am excited and have been spending my time looking up benchmarks and watching reviews on the cool components in the new beast coming. They do test their systems very seriously just like in their videos. I wasn't enthused with the wait 12 years ago when I bought my first DS but I am gaming on the old beast still and it has lasted 12 years and was well worth the burn-in testing wait they did to be sure it would last this long. I did swap out a noisy fan after 12 years the other day but that aint bad for 12 years! Edited by Onkel_Ken - 15 Oct 2021 at 3:48pm |

Astat,
All I can say is that I am happy for you and that mine is still in Stage 2 but I know "She will be coming around the mountain when she comes" You will be really excited when it shows up at the door! Some folks have been know to have their cameras ready to capture the arrival and unboxing. Hint Hint! It is these unboxings that make us still in Stage 2 know our new beast is really coming!

Jeez, you must be 69 or something! I don't think anyone under 40 ever heard that tune.

Cretae,
I remember all the old good songs and how the best ones had pieces at the beginning that nobody plays and goes to the part everybody recalls. But here are some good old tunes: 1. White Christmas - Bing Crosby 2. The Christmas Song - Nat "King" Cole 3. God Bless The Child - Billie Holiday 4. Take The "A" Train - Duke Ellington 5. Star Dust - Artie Shaw 6. Swinging On A Star - Bing Crosby 7. You Always Hurt The One You Love - Mills Brothers 8. Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy - Andrews Sisters 9. Chattanooga Choo Choo - Glenn Miller (Tex Beneke & the Modernaires) 10. Paper Doll - Mills Brothers FTW

2 Weeks at stage 3 here. Going on 3. Norton guarantees the purchase for 30 days so I have about a day left before requesting the refund is too late through the protection program.

h1527,
Digital Storm builds a solid system. I am typing on a 12 year Digital Storm that only needed a fan replaced in all those years. I can assure you that the wait will be worth the while in order to get a blazing fast gaming beast. If you have any concerns about the Norton Protection Plan or the current status of your build is I would definitely call Digital Storm. Please keep us posted on your situation. I know waiting is hard but in the case of Digital Storm you will get years of fast processing & gaming. After 12 years I know the quality of a Digital Storm build!!!! I am looking forward to a new replacement myself and excited as I was 12 years ago. Of course being 69 I don't get excited much anymore. Edited by Onkel_Ken - 09 Nov 2021 at 2:15pm |

I wouldn't base your purchase on the guarantee of Norton, to be frank, you should have enough trust in us to get you a great PC.
If you want to cancel, we're happy to cancel your order at any time. |
