Ordered my first DS system last weekend, just hit Stage 6 a few minutes ago. As someone who has previously put together my own systems, I'm very interested in seeing the Digital Storm magic!

Quick update. I received a call from DS just now that the Noctua, 580s, and motherboard (Rampage IV Extreme) aren't matching well. The Noctua is taking too much room, pushing the first video card out of slot 1, lowering its performance to x8 and putting it too close to the second video card causing concerns with heat. As a result I was advised to change to an H80 cooler which would give me more room and allow for the video card slots to be appropriately configured. I thought I'd pass along this tip for anyone interested in a similar configuration.

Thank you for the feedback. The Noctua is a great cooler, but, it's massive, which does cause of lot of fitting issues, etc... The Corsair H100 is an even better choice, it's very effective in cooling and also makes it easy to access your memory slots, etc compared to the large Noctua.
