Digital Storm just introduced Aventum II, a no-compromise gaming PC, claiming to be the the world’s most advanced desktop performance PC. Crafted exclusively from steel and copper, Digital Storm did not use any plastic in the construction of Aventum II. The exotic nickel-plated copper piping solution was inspired by high-end automotive cooling systems and is handcrafted, ensuring no two Aventum II’s are identical. Combined with three huge 420mm radiators, the liquid cooling system is as efficient as it is beautiful and fully capable of unlocking the maximum performance potential of the Aventum II’s bleeding edge components.
Each Aventum II is deployed with a full payload, armed with the best components available. This includes configurations that feature overclocked Intel Core i7EE processors and NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX TITAN graphics card.
All that power requires an advanced thermal control system. Aventum II’s intelligent system monitors five critical thermal zones and automatically regulates its 22 chassis fans accordingly.
Unlike many liquid cooled systems, that inefficiently cycle hot air from radiators straight into the heart of a PC, Aventum II employs a completely isolated exhaust chamber design. Hot air from the radiators is channelled under the power supply and out via a rear exhaust vent.
Other distinctive Aventum II features include a dedicated side intake fan for the graphics plastic card, the ability to support two power supplies and the inclusion of 8 hot swappable hard drive bays. A removable front panel allows for easy access to the front intake fans for maintenance.
Prior to shipping to the customer, each Digital Storm system undergoes a rigorous 72-Hour Stress-Test. Digital Storm technicians stress-test and benchmark the system via industry standard testing software coupled with a proprietary testing process that detects components which can be prone to future failure.
Smith is currently in the Snohomish County Jail in lieu of a $1 million bail that was set during his hearing today at Everett District Court. The Snohomish County prosecutor believes that Smith beat and drowned Susann Smith to death in their Bothell home in February.
Police obtained a statement from a friend of Alan Smith’s on Tuesday. The man, who is also a licensed Christian minister, told police he and Smith sat in his car in the parking lot of a coffee shop.
During the conversation, Smith told the man his life was in chaos. He stated that he was over his head “with Love Thai and her mental issues,” the documents state.
The man told investigators that “he was sure Alan Smith knew he was acting as a supportive friend and not as any kind of a private or privileged conversation regarding his confession to him.”
He told Smith he could help him and the two took a walk. He asked Smith if he had anything to do with his wife’s murder and he responded, “Yes, I did it to her” and began to cry uncontrollably, according to court documents. Smith continued, saying “… And by the way, I respect what you do with that information, cause at this point, I’m walking off the ledge, I’m walking off the ledge.”
Detectives also lay out new evidence against Smith in court documents. The Washington State Patrol Crime Lab determined that Alan Smith’s left foot was the same size and shape as the print left in blood at the crime scene. A forensic expert in footprints stated in documents, “It is my opinion that there is support of the proposition that this impression could have been made by the right foot of Alan Smith.”
Investigators found a credit card statement belonging to Alan Smith for a bicycle purchase in November. Alan Smith told investigators that he did own a bicycle but that is was stolen in October. During the time of the purchase, a rare bicycle light was listed as well on the receipt. A bicycle matching the one purchased with Alan Smith’s credit card was located in a greenbelt near the Bothell apartment complex in which Alan Smith was living at the time of the murder. But forensic tests on the bike yielded no DNA or blood evidence.
Detectives are still analyzing surveillance footage from the area at the time of the murder.
Surveillance footage taken from a Wal-Mart in Everett near Alan Smith’s work on the day that detectives found Susann Smith’s body shows him purchasing a gas can, latex gloves and a pair of sandals. An analyzation of Alan Smith’s GPS showed him then traveling within two blocks of the home, to a gas station and then back to work. Smith never told investigators of the drive later that day when questioned. Alan Smith also had a bank receipt for a withdrawal of $1,500 and searches for flights out of Sea-Tac Airport from his work computer that same day.
The medical examiner determined that “the cause of death was blunt force and sharp force trauma with a third component of asphyxiation by drowning.”
Smith was found to have purchased a rubber mallet. The Snohomish County Medical examiner said “it was conceivable the blunt force injuries on Susann Smith could have been caused by this type of rubber mallet.”
The Washington State Patrol Forensic Crime Lab concluded that the mallet could have incurred the injuries to Susann Smith, but that “any tool that will leave similar circular marks could have possibly made these injuries.”
The beating of Susann Smith was so violent that police reportedly observed blood splatters on the ceiling, walls and window of the bedroom. The victim had to be identified by her dental records.
