Digital Storm's new Bolt 3 adds a sexy edge-to-edge glass door

[Victorious Secret]

 

 

This is a mighty fine case, not going to lie. Glass is far more premium than acrylic or poly ever will be, of course it adds weight and its not cheap once it breaks, but it looks classy and it works in this case. 

 

Of course this won't be cheap, no you can't buy it on your own unless someone at Digital Storm really likes you. Who cares, its gorgeous. If I had the scratch I would go for it. 

 

 

Why glass? We didn’t get a chance to ask Digital Storm, but it’s probably because glass adds a luxurious look and feel to any PC. Side doors are typically made of plastic, which scratches easily, is difficult to clean, and frankly feels cheap.

 

Believe me when I say glass looks dead sexy on any case. The Bolt 3 won’t be the first with glass, as defunct Voodoo PC used glass doors in its custom systems in the late 1990s.

 

The only real downside to glass is weight... and the possibility of shattering. Hopefully, the glass in the Bolt 3 is tempered so if you do break it, it’ll pose less risk of cutting you.

 

Digital Storm didn’t spill other details of the Bolt 3, but it’s easy to see it still uses a Mini-ITX motherboard, and custom liquid cooling is still present. And no big surprise: It’ll run Nvidia’s top GeForce GTX Titan X card. I’d guess the Bolt 3 will be based on Haswell initially, but hopefully someone gives Asrock’s X99E-ITX/ac a good going over.

 

Asrock raised eyebrows by doing something other board vendors said was impossible: Getting Intel’s big boy LGA2011-3 into a miniature motherboard. The price is high, though, as Asrock had to cut back from quad-channel RAM to dual-channel RAM in the board. Still, that means it’s finally possible to build a micro-tower with an eight-core Core i7-5960X instead of the quad-core Haswell CPUs.

I really do like the bolt case... its just too expensive for me. DS does a lot of good work, possibly my favorite boutique mfg out there.

[Tagiau]

I love the look of some digitalstorm cases, I just wish they would do what origin did and for 1 week have a sale on just the case. 

[JoaoPRSousa]

Damn.

[ttam]

@digitalnav smuggle me one? <3

[Guest Kloaked]

A lot of people talk shit about pre-builts, but DS's cases are sexaaayy

[hak4fun]

damnit, now I am going to have to buy one just for the case.

[Blackie Sheen]

Looks pretty sexy but looks mighty huge for mini-Itx. The spread out components do look very good though

[carolkarine]

Can I buy just the case? (I know that I can't. I just really wish I could)

The case possibly is Lian Li's PC-O5S with Digital Storm's badge on it....

@snowComet beat me to it.

[Admire]

LOL holy crap....Talk about how things can look differently depending on how you market things.

 

Those cases look faaaar less impressive in Lian Li's pictures.

It should be the PC-O5S, not the O6S or O7S...

but I agree, Lian Li is not good at making their case look good....

We re-did some of the outside panels to make changes. Not to mention, our builds make it look far more sexy

I spy with my little eye better looking front panel and legs. Something I missed ?

[Smooth Bunz]

It's  Lian Li's PC-O5S case

To me that honestly it, the stuff inside the case looks good enough that it just adds a whole other layer to how the system looks. Clean, well laid out, and good design.

 

If only it didnt cost so much to get them. Or wasnt so much work to do it yourself.

And that has always been the case. They probably make some of the highest quality cases, but their marketing sucks, and they go for the wrong look.

 

Just putting a different frame on the front took the case with a LED(okay, they did a little more but thats the biggest change) from looking like shit to looking really nice.

[Accursed Entity]

I can't even buy Lian Li cases... seriously, hard to get one here...

[AHaskin14]

Love the extension for the GPU. Wish more cases would suit the style.

[asim1999]

Can I buy just the case? (I know that I can't. I just really wish I could)

I think its a Lian LI case, so technically yes 

[Guest]

Why not watercool the gpu? That is more important!

Looks like a rebranded Lian li PC-O7S
