Digital Storm Bolt

The Digital Storm Bolt represents the best and worst of the trend toward smaller gaming desktops. It looks great, and offers plenty of gaming prowess out of the box, but it's not a great choice for gamers who want to tweak their systems or that demand...

Digital Storm Bolt review

Editors' Note: Due to a publishing error, this review was posted before final proofreading, listing incorrect configuration information, including the wrong graphics card. This information has since been corrected.
