Digital Storm computer specs.
Spec'ed out this computer at Digital Storm for $2225.
Build Redux, an offshoot of Digital Storm, had something close for $1865 but the cooler was a COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 EVO. Not sure that cooler would be good enough and there is no option to change it. Digital Storm comes with liquid cooler.
Maingear build like this was $150 higher. Tried Ibuypower but I do not like their cases as there is no airflow. Also wondering if I need to go 850 power supply since it says 600 is bare minimum for 3060 ti. That is $95 more.
Processor: Intel Core i5-12600K (4.9 GHz Turbo) (16-Thread) (10-Core) 3.7 GHz (Alder Lake)
Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z690-P D4 (Wi-Fi) (Intel Z690 Chipset) (Up to 3x PCI-E Devices) (No SLI)
(DDR4) System Memory: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz Digital Storm Performance Series
Power Supply: 600W Digital Storm Performance Series (Supports up to an NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti GPU)
Storage Set 1: 1x SSD M.2 (1TB Digital Storm M.2 Performance Series) (NVM Express)
Storage Set 2: 1x Storage (2TB Seagate / Toshiba / Hitachi)
Graphics Card(s): 1x GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB (VR Ready)
Digital Storm Vortex Liquid CPU Cooler (Dual Fan)

Re: Digital Storm computer specs.
Well, i ordered it this morning. Had the wrong cooler selected so it was actually $2265 before tax.
Went through all the other sites again and built the same system, and other than Build Redux, all the other places (that offered customization) the same systems was only $100 to $200 cheaper than Digital Storm and I'm willing to pay the extra for testing the system before shipping it out.
My CyberPower has lasted me almost 4 years, it still works great but the I5-8400 and RX580, do get taxed on many newer games. Those fans are spinning full blast and the computer gets loud. Had heat issues when I first bought it so had to mod the case and install Afterburner to get the fans to the proper speed to disperse the heat. I've noticed it being a little more sluggish the past few months. This will be the first time I've spent 2 grand on a PC.

Re: Digital Storm computer specs.
Just a heads up, my order was on backorder for ~4 weeks while they got parts in. Though it's in the build/test phase now. So YAY!

Re: Digital Storm computer specs.
I'm prepared for that. One of the reason I went ahead and ordered now instead of waiting for my current computer to decide to go KAPUT.

Re: Digital Storm computer specs.
Yes, it has been around for years, I was reading some posts online where some said the I5-12600 when under load really makes the cooler work extra hard and they recommended other coolers. I played it safe.

Re: Digital Storm computer specs.
I've seen it quoted as about 150W. But the exact number will depend on which variant... EVO? EVO2? 212+? etc. Need the exact CM part number. Though if it's current, it's probably the EVO 2 (i.e. EVO v2)
FWIW, that I5-Gen12 is right around 150W, so the fan would be going 100% when you max the CPU, with almost no headroom.

Re: Digital Storm computer specs.
I feel ya.
I've been wanting to upgrade for at least a year. But I kept waiting. I didn't want to pay the new prices. Then my computer died. It may be just the power supply, but it was excuse enough to say "to hell with it". Plus, the money wasn't really the issue. It was being okay with spending it. I just needed the extra little push.

Shipping notice from FedEx that a signature will be required for a delivery today. So fingers crossed that the dark times will be over soon.

Re: Digital Storm computer specs.
I went with a Velox. You'll probably get better quality photos looking at the pics on their website.
But I'll see what I can do.

Re: Digital Storm computer specs.
I like that the case has some cooling on the top, instead of the back. I had one other case back in the day like that. I loved it.

Re: Digital Storm computer specs.
Mine turned out to be a beast. Guess I should have paid closer attention to the specs.
Definitely won't fit in the stand I was using.
Lots of fans. I haven't gotten anything set up yet to stress the video, so currently you can't even hear any of the fans running. Super quiet.

yep, that is the reason I got a Lumos. The Velox would have the glass side hidden by my desk.

Re: Digital Storm computer specs.
I highly doubt the computer will arrive today even though I got a call last night to confirm. It took 4 days to get from CA to AZ, arrived in AZ last night at 7. I'm to expect it to get from AZ to my doorstep in AL in 1 day? Maybe they flew it straight to Huntsville overnight although tracking still shows it in AZ. Fed EX is sucking on this delivery.

Re: Digital Storm computer specs.
Mine did the same thing. It was like "you're getting this TOMORROW!1!!!!11!!". Then they put it on a truck from California.
Though, if I recall, it ended up only getting bumped one day. So still pretty quick.

Here she is. Got the SATA SSD drive moved from my old computer to this one finally. Cable Management is pretty but it makes it hard when trying to install something new. Digging through those cables trying to find a SATA power plug and trying not to mess anything up was nerve racking.

Re: Digital Storm computer specs.
Mine came with the two main expansion bays already hooked for power and the motherboard. I just slotted in a SSD and pushed the bay back in.
Not sure it would have worked if the power needed to be one of the older 4 pin variety.
And I've got at least 2 more M2 connectors. So if I ever need more storage, it should be easy-peasy to add.
