[btarunr]

Digital Storm, the predominant name in computer system integration and engineering, proudly announces the flagship system in its award-winning line of ODE gaming computers – ODE Level 4. This new system takes the pre-built and fully customized concept to the next level by integrating Intel’s X79 chipset, Core i7 3930K six-core CPU, and overclocking it to 4.6GHz. ODE Level 4 gaming PCs are packed with lightning fast components that have been optimized to deliver unparalleled performance, while not breaking the bank.

Based on Intel’s X79 chipset, ODE Level 4 boasts blazing fast speed that creates unrivalled gameplay. Digital Storm engineers have also taken advantage of the quad-channel memory controller on the new X79 chipset by designing a luxurious 16GB configuration of DDR3 memory that delivers an even more responsive user experience. Additionally, a configuration of three NVIDIA GTX 570 1.2GB video cards, in triple SLI, generates fluid smooth graphics, creating an immersive gaming experience.



“ODE Level 4 is the next evolution in our quest to give customers the optimal gaming experience, without the hassle and expense of having to individually select each component,” commented Rajeev Kuruppu, Digital Storm’s Director of Product Development. “With the addition of the X79 chipset, our engineers have configured a system that offers bleeding-edge technology that delivers unparalleled performance per dollar.”

Digital Storm’s ODE Level 4 gaming system is available for $3,399 here.

I still fail to see the added value of a prebuilt system, and I can't help but wonder if the selected components are worth anything near that price.

TBH, there is a market for rich people who want the best without caring bout the money... I'm sure some TPU members have customers like that and make big bucks off them lol

[Darkleoco]

Certainly not worth that much without the $ 999 model of SB-E , they are using the $ 599 model and still charging this price :/

$600 worth of processor and around $1100-$1200 does not justify this price tag at all based on the rest of the components...

Lmfao not breaking the bank at 3,500.00..
They should have a new add campaign, don't just break the bank. F*^&^%! destroy it!
What a rip off..

I would never buy one, but to be honest this is not really that over-priced. The same specs at Newegg run you right at $3000, so basically they charge $400 to assemble and overclock the machine for you, and then offer Life Time Support with a 3 year warranty. If you have the money, and don't know what you are doing when it comes to building/overclocking, this is not that bad of a deal.

assuming they bought their stock from newegg, which they don't i'm sure. they get the prices newegg gets, or similar - so their profit is higher than $400.

still, if the end user can't get the parts at the same price it's kind of a moot point.

Exactly - who cares how much profit they're making if they're the cheapest you can get what you want - that being this system prebuilt with a decent overclock and 3 years of support, or whatever else they offer.

That said, I don't know that 570 tri-sli is a very clever solution. 1.25GB of VRAM is not enough for any kind of task that'd justify that level of graphics processing power. A pair of 2.5GB 570s would be cheaper and more desirable - yes, the tri-sli will outperform it, but only in situations where the difference is between 90 and 110 FPS, not where the difference is between 15 and 25.
