I thought it was a great deal until i found out that most of the parts are proprietary. Correct me if i'm wrong but even the GPU is their own custom GPU which means you can't just replace it with a full size 4070/5070 next time. There's also people complaining of thermal issues. That being said, ts a fantastic price @ $1199 for a 3070 but be aware of the limitations.

Considering the street value of even a used 3070 is north of $800 right now, this should sell out in all of about 6 seconds.

That's the wrong processor. Needs to be a 3700x

Just a FYI you can get some serious discounts from talking to Dell reps. I recently was able to get the Ryzen R10 with a 5800x, 3080, 16GB RAM, liquid cooling, 1000w PSU, 1TB SSD, WiFi 6 and 1 year of premium support for $2092 before taxes after talking to 3 reps.

I've run this chassis before. It can fit standard 2/3-slot video cards without a problem, but you might run into issues with card length if you have a particularly large AIB card. Check dimensions first.

The 550W PSU is fine if you're running anything up to an RTX 3070. 3080 and higher would need a better PSU because those cards draw 100W-150W more at load. Forget overclocking with the standard PSU, but you shouldn't need to overclock anyway.

I think the big question here is what AIB 3070 does this come with? Is it a standard 2/3-slot dual/triple-fan card? Is it a single-slot blower card?

Going for $1250 with liquid cooling and wifi 6. Desktop apparently came with the liquid cooling. They won't accept DPA5 coupon when paying with DPA.
Going to Chase 5% CB

If I can order online, I'll cancel this order since i can get 8% CB at RAKU10
I did the same: $1249, it's worth it for cpu AIO liquid cooling and WiFi 6. Basically $30 for the cooling, and $20 for the WiFi 6 card.

Triple fan/double fan isn't standard. And no, it's most definitely a blower card. Which yes... it blows 👍

You're approaching ~90% higher price for about ~30% more performance. But if those extra frames are worth it to you, go for it.

Their 3080/3090s were 2-slot dual-fan cards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZYAOwML1II

That's not as good as most AIB cards which are triple-fan (but also probably too long for this chassis).

If their 3070 is also 2-slot dual-fan, it should be fine.

He said liquid cooler added $20 and they apparently had the wrong state tax.
It's still $30 less than what the other people paid

Are we chatting with Jeevan Kumar? He is probably handling 10 people. His response time is so slow
