Thoughts on Vanquish Level 3?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   My wife finally gave me the green light to get a brand new computer, as a gift for being on deployment in Afghanistan for an entire year. This is literally how long I waited to get a Digital Storm PC, and boy, it was worth it.

However, there were many missteps I made before finally getting the purchase to go through.

1. I'm a 21 year old white guy married to a 23 year old white gal, and we have a little white valentine's son. Funny thing is, we live in Guam, home of the proud Chamorros! (Guamanians). I placed the order with the country to "AE", and went through with the purchase without even LOOKING at the "international" link sitting right next to the address line, and clicked "Continue"   

2. Luckily, Digital Storm, with their Miracle-Working staff, were able to help me out of this debacle pretty quickly! They said that even though I made the purchase already, and that they couldn't ship it to a P.O. BOX, they gave me time to get an alternate address to ship the PC to, which I did. Sure, I had to fill out a proof of identification form, but that's my own fault for not paying attention to the instructions   

So now the transaction has gone through! Now, the waiting game begins! I'll be picking the PC up on my way home from deployment :)

About the PC itself: What a beast it's turning out to be! I threw in an ASUS 24 inch monitor, keyboard/mouse combo, and a pair of speakers, because I didn't really have any back at home, but I have to say, what a great price for what it was! I actually cheated with the budget I had because I had sold almost all of my game systems (got bored of them) (save the Xbox 360) and racked up $800.00, which helped big time when making my purchase. Won't be console gaming for much longer!

What are your thoughts about the Vanquish, Level 3? Has it given you happy gaming days? Let me know in the comments!

Thank you, Digital Storm!
