    Posted: 15 Nov 2017 at 5:39pm
I have had my system for a few days and I must say I am quite impressed.

Everything from the craftsmanship to the attention to detail on the cable management. The gaming experience thus far has been phenomenal and I have not experienced any issues thus far.

Buying Experience:

I purchased the Velox system in September, but researched prior to that for about 2 months. Comparing everything from build vs. buy to all of the other competitors, system reviews, YouTube reviews and unboxings.

I decided to not build and instead buy and based on my analysis from a price point everyone was relatively in the same range, my decision finally boiled down to the reviews and location since I am in the Bay Area. So I chose DigitalStorm.

The ordering process was pretty simple and straight forward and any question I had was answered by the DS team or someone in this forum.

The only negative I would say about the whole experience was frequency of communication when delays came up, but DigitalStorm was always will to talk and work through the communication gaps. It turns out there were numerous exogenous factors namely the complexity involved in overclocking with the latest Intel i9 7900X series. Eventually things were worked out and I am happy with the results. Hopefully DigitalStorm can work out the communications gaps to provide timely updates especially when delays are encountered.

I do need to give a round of thanks to Kimberly and Robert for working with me and being thoughtful of my concerns and working hard to deliver the system to me.

Pros:
1. Easy ordering
2. Customization and options
3. Great craftsmanship, everything works the first time
4. Pre-wiring empty slots for future expansion
5. Great gaming experience and performance

Cons:
1. Communication gaps when delays arrive. Information is not passed back in a timely manner.

Purchase Again: Yes

Advice to potential or new customers, be patient every build is unique and some are quicker some are not so quick, but being patient and diligent about getting answers you will be rewarded with a great system.

Very nice and clean setup for a strong system.Strong Congratulations and thank you for the review and images.

Did the reservoir come with all that air? Keep track of the level. It should reach a steady state after a short time clearing all the air remaining in the system. Find out what coolant DS used and order a bottle for occasional fill ups. Big%20Smile Enjoy. Awesome


BTW: nice Saturn V model. Smile

It did, I advised DS and they actually shipped out at no cost a bottle of coolant for me to top it off.
