I was looking into a new prebuilt with a 9800x3d and a 5080. I don’t want to build one as my friend that helped me build my last computer has moved out of state and I’m too busy with work. The two companies I was looking at are digitial storm and falcon northwest. I was curious if players have had computers from either of these companies and how their experience was. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Online reviews not sponsored by DS give mixed reviews…but FNW has been highly rated for a decade or more and still is in the 2025 PC Magazine review of the Fragbox LAN Party gaming rig…I don’t own them, I’m not affiliated with them in any way…but if I was choosing a pre-assembled rig they’d be first on my list currently.

Okay thanks for your response. Yeah everything I have seen about FNW has been good the only con is they’re pricey. I spent alot of money on an alienware about two years ago that had issues with the 14th gen intel chip and it took alienware/dell 6 months of back and forth before they replaced it.
I know this isn’t a proper answer, but I’ve seen some good reviews from this youtube channel, Gamers Nexus. ( not sure if the Youtube playlist linked properly… still new to the forums… 
I don’t know if this will be of any use. But hopefully you find the right system. : ) Pre built reviews.

I got Falcoln Northwest DRX. It’s silly that such an expensive laptop is not allowing my windows to enable auto HDR.
The Auto HDR is AMAZING with Wow while at home. The difference is huge when I compare it to playing elsewhere on my laptop
I’ve bought three DS systems (two desktops one laptop) over the last 8 years. My current gaming box now is the newest of those purchase a year and a half ago.
The quality is good they aren’t cheap though . Even considering the premium for someone building the system for you. But they do use at least above average parts. It’s not junk.
That says I probably won’t buy another when this system dies or needs replacing (I replace gaming systems every 6-7 years) . Only because I’m in nj and DS is in California . They forgot to water cool my gpu even though I paid for it. They made it right but shipping me the parts and I installed it myself but the distance made it take weeks. Weeks without using my system (it was designed around water cooling and there was no fan so I couldn’t use it the gpu would have cooked in no time). My two other systems from them were flawless so this was a one off issue.
Why are you responding to this thread dude it’s from June of 2025 it’s almost a year old at this point. I’m pretty sure the op has already gotten whatever they were going to get
I also see more people have done the same look at dates people
Coz I recently bought it and was looking it up thinking there might be a workaround.
Why you being so shifty?
