Digital Storm Unveil Their New VIRTUE Gaming PC

Digital Storm have unveiled VIRTUE, a performance gaming PC that exemplifies the system builder’s commitment to excellence and its customers. The stunning mid-tower desktop features a brushed aluminium and steel exterior, benchmarking crushing components and a large, upgrade friendly interior despite its relatively compact footprint.

“We noticed there are not many pc manufacturers designing mid-tower gaming systems with the same ardor and attention that ultra-tower PCs receive,” said Rajeev Kuruppu, Digital Storm’s Director of Product Development. “As its name suggests, VIRTUE represents a higher standard of PC gaming, both in terms of aesthetics and performance.”

The VIRTUE release comes on the heels of two major component launches, Intel’s 4th Gen Haswell CPUs and NVIDIA’s GTX 700 series graphics cards, disproving the notion that a big desktop tower is required to house and cool a system as powerful as VIRTUE.

“We strive to deliver a superior gaming experience with all our systems but knew we needed to raise the bar with VIRTUE,” said Kuruppu. “With two big component launches on the horizon it required a bit of patience, but being able to offer our customers faster, more efficient systems that run both cooler and quieter was well worth the wait.”

VIRTUE supports all that bleeding edge hardware with an impressive liquid cooling system featuring up to five fans and a massive 240mm radiator. This allows VIRTUE to cool even the most demanding configurations, such as the Level 4 VIRTUE’s overclocked Intel Core i7 4770K CPU and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN 6GB graphics card, with ease.

The new mid-tower was designed with future upgrades in mind. With room for dual video cards, two hard drives and four SSDs, the VIRTUE can hold an impressive payload.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
