The Bolt II is a powerful desktop gaming system without the desktop footprint. Could it go in your living room? Sure. Could it go in your office? Absolutely. It's a beautiful system, regardless of what use you find for it. Awkward ports and a hot case asi...

Awesome performance, Keeps cool, Plentiful ports, 3, year warranty
Dicey Blu, ray drive, Spotty optical audio, 1, for, 1 upgrades, Expensive
As a habitual penny-pincher, there aren't many systems I think are worth over $2,000. The Bolt II, however, is definitely one of them. The "Best" configuration definitely delivers a machine with both performance and panache. And while it's not as customi...
Lots of connectivity, Easy to upgrade for its size, Excellent processor performance, Easily handles modern games, Power efficient
Feels less expensive than it is, Can be loud at maximum load
Our review unit clearly beats the value of the Maingear Torq, which is just slightly quicker and almost $2,000 more expensive. The Maingear also provides a full loop liquid cooling system, but that fact is somewhat irrelevant; it's not optional, and it ...

Abstract: The world of PC gaming seems to ramp up the competition between retailers year in and year out. While many PC gamers prefer to build their own systems piece by piece, whether they order their parts online, make a trip to a local computer store such as Fry...
Attractive and sli, Strong gaming performanc, Easy-open chassi, Detailed temperature controls
Starts out noisy
The Digital Storm Bolt II is a sleek, powerful and highly customizable gaming desktop. Sporting an attractive chassis with powerful parts tucked beneath, the Digital Storm Bolt II is a small-form-factor gaming desktop that aims to deliver big p...
Solid gaming performance, Can stand or sit to suit your preference, Easy access to internal components
Understated Exterior (this may be a plus for some), Kind of Pricey
The popularity of the living room PC concept has ebbed and flowed over the past decade. Luckily, the Bolt II doesn't make you commit to any one use for it. If you want to put the system on your TV stand, it has feet on its side and a Blu-ray player up fro...
Compact design, Excellent performance, Quality construction and wiring
Limited expandability, Louder than expected, Price is not for the faint-hearted
Ultra-modern and compact, the Digital Storm Bolt II packs an extraordinary amount of gaming power into a custom-painted and -illuminated case less than half the size of a traditional desktop. It's all-around impressive, but bears a premium price. Read Mo...

Compact. Beautiful copper paint job. Overclocked Intel Core i7-4790K CPU and Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti card. Includes wireless Xbox controller. Rewritable Blu-ray drive. Tiered warranty on tech support, parts, and labor.
Pricey. No internal expansion room
With its gorgeous copper paint job and compact build, the Digital Storm Bolt II gaming PC will be right at home on your desk or in your living room. But its single GPU means that performance leans more toward that of a midrange gaming rig, despite the hi...

Digital Storm's Bolt II is absolutely a work of art. They managed to engineer a beautiful and yet simplistic chassis, all while packing a ton of high-end hardware inside. You can choose to pimp out your Bolt II with the absolute top end hardware, or you c...
Ultra-slim design, Powerful component choices, Liquid-cooled CPU
Gets very hot (although it remains stable), Front-panel ports mounted on the side of the case, Optical drive can't be omitted from custom orders
The Bolt II proves that you don't need a massive gaming tower to get massive gaming performance—as long as you're willing to pay for the privilege of petite....
