[NEWS] The new Digital Storm Aventum III has launched, and it's a looker.

After teasing us with a taste of its new Aventum 3 at CES, Digital Storm says it’s finally ready to ship its latest exotic PC design, which features custom liquid cooling and power integrated into the case itself.

 

With the Aventum 3, Digital Storm decided to focus on features that could make wiring and liquid-cooling easier to upgrade. The routing of the water-cooling hoses, for example, runs directly into the backplane the motherboard mounts to, and attach with quick-connect fittings. Power connectors for the motherboard are integrated into case's backplane, too.

The Aventum 3 design also adds a custom distribution block for the liquid-cooling that appears to be machined out of clear acrylic so you can see the flow of the liquid through the system. Digital Storm’s custom lighting and fan control modules reside behind the two fans, I believe.

The use of a case window on the back of the PC is a bold statement as well. Even the most tidy system builds typically only look nice on the side where you can see the motherboard and graphics cards. The wires tucked behind the motherboard tray are usually a rat’s nest of cables, hoses, and zip ties better left covered up. By putting a window on both sides, Digital Storm obviously has faith in its ability to deliver a clean aesthetic experience. 

 The way internal cable management is managed in the new Aventum looks really great, I must say. An internal backplane handles the modular cables so they don't have to be routed up from the PSU, resulting in cleaner runs and more versatile system configurations. The "liquid distribution block" is a really nice visual add as well, and it's manufactured by EK so you know it's a quality part. The window on the other side of the PC is really interesting as well, and it's something that I haven't really seen on any consumer cases other than Lian Li and In Win's glass cases. The case itself is absolutely gorgeous. It has this sort of CaseLabs meets 900D vibe that I can dig with custom paint jobs to top it all off. And it's made in the USA, creating business for domestic machine shops instead of outsourcing. The price starts at $4930, and for that you get a 6700K with 16GB 2666MHz RAM, a GTX 980 Ti, the custom liquid cooling loop for the CPU only, a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro, 2TB HDD, ASUS Z170-A, EVGA 850W G2 and Windows 10. The price on the surface seems high, but the custom fabrication and customer support/warranty make it a bit more worth it. So what do you guys think of the new Aventum III? I personally think it's fantastic. It seems to have amazing specs with great fit and finish.

I didn't know they spray painted xbox ones

[Lays]

They always have so many mismatched colors >.<

Where do I sign up to get a free one?

What?

[Br3tt96]

I prefer the standard mobo layout, not the otherside/upside down way...

digitalstorm is one of the best prebuilt custom PC builders

 

just because you dont like the case design doesnt mean its bad

its still better than what you've probably got in terms of performance

I think I'll add this to the OP, thanks for bringing that to my attention

you can pick the colours yourself...

BUT MUH CUSTUM BILT IS BETTER BCUZ I SAV MUNI

Can you choose to watercool the GPU's as well?  I always seem them advertise air cooled 3-way SLI yet a watercooled CPU.

 

It makes so much more sense to watercool the GPU's IMO, you gain more performance & temps plummet as well as noise levels :]

 

 

The reason I said stuff about the mismatched colors is because whenever I see advertisements for them or videos, the colors are always every which way.

I'm saying it looks like an XBone spray painted. I didn't say anything about performance so stop jumping to shit conclusions.

The only shit conclusion that's been jumped to in this thread is that the PC looks like a spray painted Xbox One.

Well fuck me for having an opinion.

[asim1999]

I thought @digitalnav would post this....

NVM, awesome but overpriced 

[Deli]

Just no.  :wacko:

[zacRupnow]

Honestly it looks the same as the past two Aventum generations.

[atrash]

The build is kinda meh for me but that case looks awesome. Need proper sleeved cables for the front panel i/o, sata cables and all other misc cables.

[Notional]

If you can park a car in your computer case, it too big mmkay?

[Khajiit Dealer]

Anyone have $5,000 I can "borrow"?

[Funkpit]

I know Digital Storm won't be selling this case, but can you see any of the things this case has making it's way into the enclosure market? 

Like the integrated water cooling and wiring headers.

[Albatross]

I really like it! It looks real nice in red.
