Digital Storm Announces the AVENTUM 3 Gaming Desktop
Digital Storm is proud to announce the launch of the new AVENTUM 3. Originally unveiled at CES 2015, this enthusiast class PC raises the bar for custom high-performance PCs. Featuring a custom liquid delivery system and pre-routed power for graphics cards, this is our most advanced PC to date.
"AVENTUM 3 encompasses everything about the Digital Storm brand and demonstrates our commitment to building the best PCs in the world," said Harjit Chana, Chief Operating Officer. "This system is our declaration that a PC does not have to be just the sum of its parts. We designed the AVENTUM 3 from the ground up with a focus on unmatched accessibility and modularity that can't be found anywhere else."
The AVENTUM 3's advanced liquid cooling system dramatically simplifies servicing and upgrading of liquid-cooled components. For the first time, enthusiasts can easily access fixed inlet & outlet ports located on the motherboard and quickly disconnect liquid cooled hardware without having to tear down the entire cooling system. This is made possible by AVENTUM 3's unique, pre-routed liquid distribution system that does all the heavy lifting and requires zero modifications when new liquid-cooled graphics hardware is installed. This cooling system is completed with a custom proprietary water block designed by Digital Storm engineers and produced by EKWB.
A new power delivery system eliminates the need to rewire every time new graphics hardware is upgraded or replaced by utilizing custom engineered, Digital Storm exclusive plug-and-play power connectors. These connectors make it a simple task to add or remove power-hungry graphics cards while still maintaining clean cable management.
Unlike other enthusiast class computers, the AVENTUM 3 eliminates interior heat build-up with strategic radiator placement & specialized exhaust chamber technology. Excess heat generated by liquid cooled components is trapped in an isolated chamber and then vented out the rear of the chassis, safeguarding the system's critical components.
AVENTUM 3 features a stunning exterior to match its smart internal design. The full-size tower is crafted from steel & made in the U.S.A. with perforated panelling for maximum heat dissipation. The subtle lighting and clear sides showcase the system's powerful interior and clean aesthetic.
AVENTUM 3 is available today exclusively at DigitalStorm, and starts at $4,930.

At least fabricate custom metal brackets in the back instead of plastic clamps !
I guess it's just for looks and not performance/quietness...
I mean triple/quad-SLI is stupidly loud and still thermally throttled when done with reference cards stacked directly on top of each other.

That must be a joke, for that money I could build one with 3 video cards liquid cooled (980ti's), an X99 platform and processor, and still save some money. I mean I understand you get a warranty on the system and they are adding a lot of sensors and such, but seriously that is way overpriced no matter which way I look at it. This is why I have such a problem with many of these custom PC builders, they way overcharge for everything.
The point of Digitalstorm (and other pre-built machines for that matter) is all about convenience, not value, and clearly that particular price point works for Digitalstorm.
So... live and let live?

With Windows that adds up to ~$4,000 leaving 1k for your choice in cooling (Add maybe an AIO for $100 if you do not care or you have another 1k for a custom loop). That was just a quick picking of expensive parts not even including doing a bit of shopping around. My point is there is an extreme markup on that machine and even including the fancy custom loop with sensors and controls does not add up to near that price. A warranty is nice, but with systems like that using parts from various manufacturers instead of in house (Like Alienware/Dell for instance) you still have those normal warranties anyway for the parts. So the warranty is really only adding on for the cooling system which just comes down to how well its put together (Or pump failure which would be the most likely component to fail).
I do like some of the custom PC sites as their markup is not that bad at times. However I feel this ones markup is ridiculous especially considering they could not even throw in an X99 chip and board for that price...
cuz you CANNOT sell near the cost of parts while being 'made in the usa' without having mexican slaves doing the work... which you still need to train in the first place
I don't have a problem with all custom PC gaming gear, some are actually quite good and decently priced. I just think some have gotten a bit...pricey lately.
