Digital Storm Shows Off BlackOPS Desktop

Tweet

Boutique computer manufacturer Digital Storm revealed their latest desktop creations today, and they’re quite the desktop monsters. They’ll start at $1,700 and easily go upwards from there and they’ll feature such luxuries as factory overclocking, sub-zero liquid cooling and high-end parts from Intel and ATI.

The default configuration of the BlackOPS desktop, named “Performance” comes with an Intel i5-750 processor, with a clockspeed of 2.66GHz. It’ll have 4GB of DDR3 memory, along with NVIDIA GTX 275 graphics and Windows 7. Like all of these boutique manufacturers, any of that is upgradable. The memory can be upped to 6GB of DDR3, and they’ll throw in a Core i7-970 (3.2GHz) at your request.

The default power supply is a 750W model, with a 1250W model needed for some of the watercooling and higher-end graphics cards. Digital Storm offers a Noise Suppression Package, where they’ll use noise dampening metals and adjust the fans to get your new desktop as quiet as possible.

As said above, they also offer a liquid cooling solution that gets your processor frosty cold (below zero Fahrenheit, actually). No word if it’s a closed loop system or if it requires maintenance. As for the factory overclocking, they’ll stress-test the computer for three days (72 hours) to make sure the system is stable before shipping it out to you. Even if it isn’t, they’ve got you covered with a three-year warranty.

Digital Storm didn’t miss the opportunity to talk some trash about the other PC boutique makers, “Unlike other gaming PC integrators, who simply cram the latest hardware into chassis, Digital Storm’s engineers select the highest quality components and ensure that every piece works in perfect unison with each other.” Rajeev Kuruppu, their Director of Product Development, said in the press release.

The BlackOPS series of desktops are now shipping from Digital Storm, and they start at $1,700, and go up to $3,100.
