Digital Storm

Digital Storm is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year - and throughout 2012 the company said it will be releasing several industry "firsts". While we don't know what's in store (they say details will be divulged at a later date), we have to admit we're a bit intrigued. But what we can tell you is this – to celebrate its 10th anniversary, Digital Storm is offering the biggest discounts ever on gaming PCs. For example, the 2012 CES Innovations Award-winning Cryo-TEC system is being offered $400 below its normal price.

The savings don't stop there. Digital Storm's entire line of BLACK OPS and SPECIAL OPS gaming PCs are all heavily discounted, with prices starting as low as $1219. You can check out Digital Storm's special 10th anniversary pricing at www.digitalstormonline.com.

Digital Storm, a company well known for its customized gaming computers, just announced its first pre-built gaming system, ODE. Digital Storm pre-selected and optimized all the hardware inside the ODE, allowing PC gamers to get the best technology without the hassle of selecting each individual component.

Available in four configurations, the ODE features a liquid cooled 5.0GHz extreme overclocked Intel i7 2600K processor, dual SLI configuration of two NVIDIA GTX 570's, and a blazingly fast Intel solid state drive - and that's just some of what Digital Storm packs into the ODE.

"If ever there was an indictment against PC gaming, it's that it can be an expensive passion, that's why most gamers build their own rigs. Digital Storm has never liked this status quo, so we set out to create a machine that would deliver the extreme performance PC gamers want without breaking the bank. That is how the ODE was born," said Rajeev Kuruppu, Digital Storm's Director of Product Development.Read more

Digital Storm just announced a new desktop computer that is unlike any they've ever designed. The new Enix system has a small profile, but delivers the performance of a powerful gaming system with overclocks of 4.7GHz and above, thanks to its vertically cooled chassis and use of Intel's Sandy Bridge architecture.

The Enix's motherboard offers a 90 degree rotation for easy access to the two USB 3.0 ports located at the top of the chassis. You'll also find a hot-swap bay on top. Additionally, the hard-drives are installed on the side of the chassis so that they can be passively cooled, minimizing noise.

The Enix can be customized to be the computer you want, whether that's a high performance workstation or a blazing fast gaming machine with GTX 580 configuration. Digital Storm's Enix is available at www.digitalstormonline.com/compblackops.asp with a base price of $1,132. Read more

Digital Storm on Monday announced the xm15, a new 15-inch laptop based on NVIDIA's Optimus Hybrid Technology. Available in four configurations, the base model features a 2.4GHz Core i5 processor, 320GB hard drive, 4GB RAM, DVD-RW/CD-RW Multi-Drive, 1366x768 resolution display and NVIDIA's 1GB 425M video card; with the ultimate, high-end model touting a 2.8GHz Core i7 CPU, 500GB hard drive, 8GB of RAM, Blu-Ray/DVD Multi-Drive and a 1920x1080 resolution LCD display. Whatever route you choose, all xm15 models utilize NVIDIA's Optimus Hybrid technology which automatically switches to a second Intel graphics processor for less intensive applications. By increasing and decreasing performance when needed, battery life is extended (although no estimates have been released yet).

The Digital Storm xm15 also features eSATA and USB 3.0 ports, HDMI and VGA outputs and optical audio ports. It is available at www.DigitalStormOnline.com/gaminglaptops.asp starting at $999 (for the base configuration).
