Topic: Vanquish 3-Lvl 4 & New Member :) Posted: 30 Jul 2015 at 7:44pm |
Hi Guys!
New, and very thrilled. I placed my order on July 27 and am currently waiting. Can’t wait to receive my order. System Configuration: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Pre-built Digital Storm VANQUISH 3 - Level 4 Display: Asus 4K Ultra HD 28 inch PB287Q Series (3840 x 2160 Resolution) (Black) (1ms 10-bit) Speakers: Corsair Vengeance 2100 Wireless Dolby 7.1 Gaming Headset Keyboard: CM Storm Devastator Bundle (Blue LED Edition) (Gaming Keyboard & Gaming Mouse) I’m a bit nervous for the following reasons: 1. This is my first TRUE gaming PC and I don’t know how fast this thing will be. Like I’ve seen the stats, reviews, and all, but experiencing it first hand - that I don’t know. My 2012 iMac gave up two weeks ago so I opted to get a gaming PC this time :) 2. Don’t know what to expect with the shipping since I’ve heard horror stories of UPS and Fedex manhandling packages. I live in Long Beach, CA so I’m hoping it's not so bad. Not that that makes a difference on their shipment handling ha ha. However, I’ve read through reviews here that DS does an exceptional job with protecting the goods before shipping. Yesterday I received an update from Technician Aristeo stating that my order passed the Stage 7 QA check. Have not received an update today so I sent in an internal email to follow up on status so far. I am so excited that I’ve given a heads up to my Manager on a possible day off just so I could be home when my shipment arrives. Waiting is sooo not cool right now. However I am happy. Thank you :) Edited by Raya - 30 Jul 2015 at 9:24pm |

Welcome to the DS family!
Congrats on the machine. Figure a 3-4 day shipping time to Long Beach from Fremont, maybe even sooner. Oh.. and prepare to be amazed! |

Hi Raya,
Welcome to the DS family. You bought a very good computer for your money. You will be pushing its performance with 4k resolution. It is according to what games you play. Frank Edited by FrankW - 31 Jul 2015 at 6:08am |

Anecdotally, it seems like DS has developed quite the gateway drug with the Vanquish 3 level 4. I've seen 3 "new member" posts this week referencing that machine -- mine included!
Welcome aboard, Raya! I grew up a console kid so I'm still gaming at 1080p (23 inch ACER H236HL bid glossy monitor). Someday I might try 1440, but 4K is a way off for me. |

Thank you FrankW! Yes, thrilled to personally see how this GPU/4K combination will go. I’m an avid Second Life resident (since 2009) and am literally inworld everyday. And, since the download link for MGS V was sent to me the other day, looking forward to venture that game as well. Prior to receiving that link, I never had any knowledge about Metal Gear Solid. I went on the official site and learned about their history and game play. Would not be surprised if I get hooked. |

Thank you ewaccess! Yeah I read the Vanquish new member posts, too! Did you receive yours yet (read that your machine will ship this week)? I’m curious to know what your experience is thus far. |

Nope, haven't got mine yet. It left DS yesterday and I should have it on Friday.
