Being heavy doesn't bother me that much, it's better than carrying a large computer around place to place.

So the end note, there isn't anything wrong with Digital Storm laptops, I won't be highly disappointed if I go with Digital Storm over MSI/Origin Laptops?

While all these laptops do have monster gpu and specs.. I still prefer the asus gaming laptop due to the fact that you can access the fans and clean them easily...

All laptop manufactures should be putting this on top of there list for laptop design. Nothing worse than a laptop that can't properly cool itself.

Well I don't plan on it, though they do offer m.2 or m.3 ssd's so that would be nice for an OS, but otherwise I'd just stick with the Digital Storm laptop, though I want to see if anyone has anything bad to say about this specific laptop. Is it a bad buy, would I expect Digital Storm to give me a bad laptop in general, damaged so to say? If not, then I'd really like to get this laptop.

Digital Storm's laptops are all Clevo barebones, which means the motherboard of the laptops and the chassis of it is all the same as other Clevo resellers.

 

This is from my local Clevo reseller and this is practically exactly the same as Digital Storm's Behemoth. If the laptop ends up to be damaged, just contact the guys at Digital Storm, they would help you out, and Clevo laptops are really good, there are few complains of badly built Clevos.

Well sure, if you can gladly direct me to one which has a 4 core 8 thread CPU, SLI 980M 8GB (each) and has tons of space for less than $3500 before shipping to South Africa, I'll gladly then take a look at a ROG laptop!

This laptop is top notch already mate, the only things that you may bother in the future is battery life on the laptop (I don't think that is very necessary depend on how you use your laptop) and being heavy to carry around as you travel.

That's okay, I added an extra battery and charger in case one fails, it'll take too long to ship it to the USA then get it back. Sadly it's very expensive when you convert it to Rands, the going rate for dollar to rand is: $1=R12.69 So I'm looking at R45,000 before shipping to South Africa, at most I can expect it to be about R50,000.
