so
welcome back sir may i remind you you'll be dining with such an adela and tim
cook this evening and uh you'll be pleased to know that your latest toy has
arrived oh which one the aventum xer
from digital storm red
why the [ __ ] is it red you wanted it to match the ferrari sir i crashed ferrari
last week are you paying attention at all what am i even paying you for
apologies sir shall we have it repainted to match the
mclaren no that'll take too long just just buy
another one very good sir wait hold on a second
you know what the machine's already here i might as
well take a look even if it is ugly yeah quite right my liege but first
rub my feet my badminton corns are
flaring up again
bollocks i've had quite enough of this and you
you can't leave i haven't even told them about our sponsor

many well-off people don't like flossing their wealth whereas some go all out
they buy mansions they throw lavish parties they drive fancy cars just
because they can so what kind of gaming pc would someone
for whom money is no object buy
well the type that was designed from the ground up with a if you need to ask how
much you can't afford it kind of attitude of course like this one the
aventum x by digital storm now in its third generation this concept was born
way back in 2010 nearly a decade ago with the intention of signaling that
digital storm is not just a regular system integrator but rather one with
some serious design and engineering chops multiplied by the desire to make
something an enthusiast can't just diy for x dollars less price be damned now
the hardware specs in this machine are to be frank nothing you can't just buy
and put together yourself everything is off the shelf from the ASUS maximum 9
hero to the g skill trident z RGB RAM to
a pair of founders edition 2080 ti's
hecky even the front-facing cooling system is all familiar parts from ek and
these fancy fans are actually thermaltake rings what you cannot buy
though is the case and its accessories like the custom machine liquid cooling
distribution system back here this was designed for the event max and
i love the industrial design it makes the front facing parts of the loop
cleaner and the soft tubing version of the ventum gets quick disconnects running
off of it for easy maintenance and upgrades very nice
the other custom part of the power is the distribution panel it's up here
where you can see the cables running up from the psu and then back down to the
graphics cards and and also the first of
the event x's imperfections you see the panel claims that it's an easy to access
essential point for a GPU power that eliminates the need to route additional
cables for upgrades and allows a clean and tidy aesthetic not needing to run
extra cables from deep down there in case you need to sounds like a good idea
except this panel appears to be a simple pass-through cable go in cable come out
now i suspect anyone who actually buys one of these would not be doing any diy
upgrades especially with the liquid cooling in place which perhaps would
explain the reason we got zero extra power cables with our machine and do not
get me started on this here cabling section for nearly 10 000 us i expect
perfection such as not having miscut nicks on tubing ruts and not having
mismatched 90 degree adapters down here that trickle my royal highness ocd now
normally i wouldn't pick on this sort of stuff except that yes you heard that
right this rig as is is nearly 10
000 us dollars but what's even more startling is that
our specimen was not perfectly stable with its out of the box five gigahertz
all-core overclock no uh we were
fortunate that we discovered the issue before running any games during our
standard pre-testing checks procedure and within a few hours a rep was
assigned to help us figure it out and we we got to hand it to ds alex he was
super knowledgeable during the troubleshooting and eventually we did get it figured out still though it feels
like we rolled off the lot in a supercar and it and it's sputtered
digital storm says that this machine passed both ida and Intel burning test
before we received it and i actually believed them especially because they
knew who they were shipping it to and i get that some customers want
overclocking done for them but the reality is that like custom water
cooling if you can't plumb a loop or overclock
yourself you're probably not gonna have the time
or the patience for the inevitable troubleshooting process when you find
out that your your RAM kit or your chips imc can't handle cast 14 on the memory
timings in the end though we did end up with a redonkulous
red makes it go faster towering monster with an awesome paint job and it's fast
but just how fast well to quantify that we figured we'd drag race it against the
fastest gaming pc money can buy that we built a little while back with the two
machines getting nearly identical results that are mostly in the very
playable category at 4k resolution
but here's the thing our diy machine although it does cost
about 4 500 that's still under half the price of the
event mx which tells us exactly how much you're paying for its custom features
at the end of the day luxury and value are mutually exclusive and the
inventomex definitely gives you only one of those so if you're looking for more
than a hot rodded civic and want the pc
status symbol equivalent of a supercar
