FULL THROTTLE! ✈️ We met this pilot at the @flightsimexpo earlier this year. He’d been flying on a Mac. Respect. However, our customer was ready for something with teeth. Welcome aboard. This DarkPhoenix Pro is a totally different ballgame. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D RAM: 64GB of CL30 DDR5-6000 RAM GPU: RTX 5080 w/16GB of VRAM The 9800X3D handles the heavy CPU load flight sims are known for, 64GB keeps scenery and add-ons loading smooth, and the RTX 5080 makes every approach look incredible. New to the PC world? That’s what we’re here for. Flat-fee pricing, premium parts, and near 24/7 support from the very people you’ve seen here on this account. And, like every DFS build, it’s whisper quiet. In other words, you’ll hear the engines, not the fans. Thinking about making the switch? Fill out our contact form and let’s get to work [link in bio] Let’s build something together 😈 #FlightSim #GamingPC #PCGaming #MacToPC #CustomPC #Milwaukee

Gaming, simulation, engineering, video production, content creation of ALL types. We've got you. Wherever and whatever you create, DarkFusion Systems builds the computers to power it all. Every year, we travel to conventions across the Midwest (and beyond) to show what our machines can do, and to meet YOU. @2Dconvention in Minnesota is one of many stops, packed full of new and familiar faces, and a corner shared with our favorite Wizard [The Prop Wizard] We still have a few events left this year. Come say hi. We want to meet YOU. 📍 R2V2 [Rockford, IL] 📍 NecroCon [Milwaukee, WI] Let's build something together 😈

Your business has a story. Right now, there’s a good chance it’s buried in a phone camera roll, a half-written About page, or nowhere at all. We fix that. Many of you will know us for DarkPhoenix builds or DarkSeraph keyboards, but hardware is just one story we tell. At DarkFusion Systems, storytelling is really the whole business. Sometimes we tell your story for you, sometimes we help you tell it yourself, and sometimes we build the tools (a site, an app, even hardware) that let you keep telling it long after we're done. We’ve done it for accounting firms. Contractors. Woodworkers. Artists. Authors. Bars and restaurants. A 19-year-old who got priced out of PC gaming and built a company to fix that for other people (that's Julian, founder of PCMKE) and his story is one of our favorites to tell. All vastly different businesses, but the same question we ask every time: what's the story only YOU can tell, and how do we help you tell it? If that's a question you haven't had a good answer to yet, DM us your business. Tell us one thing you wish more people knew about it. Let's go from there. 🎬 DarkFusion Systems 📍 Milwaukee, Chicago, Minneapolis & the greater Midwest

You may not know his name, but you know his work. Harrison Fonder is our Creative Producer. He’s one of the key creative minds behind everything DarkFusion Systems puts out, and everything our clients put out too. What makes Harrison special? Hand him a "pie-in-the-sky concept" and hours of raw footage, and he turns it into something you actually enjoy watching. He's one of the “Core 3” that makes this business what it is. Round of applause for our own 😈 On behalf of Harrison, Bryan, and Henry… Thanks for watching! #smallbusiness #DarkFusionSystems #MeetTheTeam #MilwaukeeMade #ContentCreation #VideoProduction #CreativeProducer #behindthescenes

READY FOR TAKEOFF. @GrinnelliDesign , a flight simulation software development company, is back for another build with us. It's becoming a bit of a habit at this point, and we're not complaining! This machine was designed to serve the GD team on the road, day in and day out, providing cutting edge flight simulation experiences at conventions across the country. Whether developing and testing new technology at home, or on the road demoing their latest work, they can count on their growing fleet of DarkPhoenix Pros to do it right, every time. This machine is ready to rule. CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D RAM: 32GB of CL30 DDR5-6000 RAM GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 5070 w/12GB of VRAM We specialize in creating the best machines that we can, using premium parts to achieve phenomenal results. This is the way. Let's build something together 😈 --- Love cutting edge simulation games? Make sure to get tickets for @SimGamingExpo this September! It's going to be an incredible experience. #pcgaming #gamingpc #simulation #aircraft #flightsim #racingsim #milwaukee #wisconsin

ENGINEERED FOR OUTPUT. This build was designed for a longtime aerospace engineer. He has decades in the industry, and zero patience for a machine that can't keep pace with his workflow. His requirements were clear: cool, quiet, reliable, and small enough to disappear on his desk. This DarkPhoenix Pro just delivers. Whisper-quiet under load, cool around the clock, and cuts through Autodesk Fusion and his other tools without a hiccup. When the parts you design end up in the air, “close enough” just doesn't cut it... CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D RAM: 64GB of CL30 DDR5-6000 RAM GPU: NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell w/ 16GB of VRAM He's already back at the desk, now with hardware that's finally keeping up with him.

FORGE NEW WORLDS. This DarkPhoenix Pro was designed for Unreal Engine 5 development by day, then rule the gaming battlefields by nightfall. Level design, lighting builds, shader compiles, footage edits, you name it. Then, when the day is done, it’s ready to dive straight into gaming. This customer fits the "work hard, play hard" type in every sense, and we built him a machine that doesn't have to choose between the two. DarkFusion Systems builds for the makers. Developers, designers, engineers, editors, and other creatives who need serious firepower to do the work, then want that same machine to rip through their game library at the end of the day. One rig, no compromises, built around how you actually work and play. CPU: Ryzen 7 9700X RAM: 32GB of CL30 DDR5-6000 RAM GPU: RTX 5070 w/12GB of VRAM We met this customer at the Midwest Gaming Classic, one of our favorite events we attend all year. Stay tuned... Our booth is changing for the rest of 2026, and into '27... Make sure to stop by and say hi when you see us! 👀 Let’s build something together 😈 #DarkFusionSystems #DarkPhoenixPro #MidwestGamingClassic #UnrealEngine5 #CustomPC #PCBuild #Milwaukee #WorkHardPlayHard #GameDev #PCGaming

DEFY GRAVITY. This build was designed for a dedicated flight sim enthusiast we met at the @flightsimexpo earlier this year. He was looking to replace an existing machine that simply wasn’t cutting it (frequent BSODs, frame drops, and just a generally unpleasant experience). This machine is a completely different animal. Wicked powerful, cool under pressure, and nearly silent. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D RAM: 64GB of CL30 DDR5-6000 RAM GPU: RTX 5080 w/16GB of VRAM As with all of our computers, you'd never know it was on. Our builds are notorious for silence. This customer is already loving their new machine and owning the skies. Ready to join him? Fill out our contact form and let's get to work [link in bio] Let's build something together 😈

Chances are, you've met him. Bryan Voss has been part of DFS for years. From day-to-day app development, keyboard engineering and building, QA for customer projects, and everything in between. He's behind the scenes, but nothing here happens without him. DarkFusion Systems wouldn't be the same without Bryan.

WORK HARD. PLAY HARD. The grind doesn't stop, especially for business owners. Long days, hard work, and clients depending on you. And when the day is finally done? You can play just as hard as you work. This build was for a successful lawyer here in Wisconsin. He founded his firm and built it from the ground up. He knows what a long day really is. 1440p? Handled. 4K? Let’s do it. Dial in your settings and this DarkPhoenix Pro doesn't blink. And, if he ever decides to pick up content creation or other creative works, it's ready for that too. Finally. The best part. You'd never know it was on. Our builds are notorious for silence. Like all of our computers, this DarkPhoenix Pro doesn't beg for attention. It just works.

CONQUEST. That’s the name of the game here. This featured build was for an engineer. The request was clear. They needed a machine that could handle everything from game development, a variety of 3D content creation workloads, and local AI workflows, all without breaking a sweat. Once the day was won, his computer also needed to be able to play games. Think 4K, high refresh rates. Done deal. Work hard, play hard… This is what the top of the mountain looks like [queue “To Build a Mountain” by Crowbar] CPU: AMD RYZEN 9 9950X3D RAM: 64GB of CL30 DDR5-6000 RAM GPU: RTX 5080 FE w/16GB of VRAM Got a build in mind?

CLOCK OUT. BOOT UP. This featured build is all about gaming! Whether you're unwinding in an open world or locking in for the ranked grind, this build is ready! Escape into something massive, or go to war and come out on top 😈 You know the drill! Whatever tonight looks like, this machine is ready when you are. And yeah, it handles the other stuff too. But let's be real, this one's for the game. CPU: Ryzen 7 9700X RAM: 32GB of CL30 DDR5-6000 RAM GPU: ASUS RTX 5060 Ti w/16GB of VRAM Got a build in mind?
