Unless you are ready to spend another $300-400 to reinstall everything to a normal case,to buy a 240 or 360 AIO-DON'T BUY IT...
Mine was restarting every 30 min...I end up returning this PC and got this(with a 10% off coupon):

Everything everyone says in the reviews and the old post for this thread is 100% true.

This PC is a good deal for parts, but it gets way way way too hot and it's insanely loud. It has a tiny exhaust fan in the back and a tiny cheap air-cooler which is just not even close to enough. No intake fans! Stupid.

That being said, for me, I still went with it because I had some BB in store credit to use towards it, and I've always wanted to build my own PC so I scratched that itch by case swapping this to a much better case and a much better air cooler.

I went with a Be quiet pure base 500dx, and a be quiet shadow rock 3. So 150 extra dollars and now I have a really quiet and cool PC. If you don't mind doing that and voiding your warranty, this is a great deal.

I got one of these open box + 10% birthday coupon for $1600. First thing you'll have to do with one of these is replace the memory. The RAM in this is absolute garbage. You'll be leaving as much as 25% if the performance on the table, depending on game.

The GPU in mine was 3080 tuf OC, NOT LHR. The picture shows a blower 3080 inside, which fortunately is not the case. The tuf is one of the best cards you can get.

The PSU is a Great Wall unit, it's basically the same thing as the Corsair RM850 gold PSU. Even uses the same cables with Corsair markings on it.

I don't know if I'd spend $2000 on this, but if you want something right now, it's not the worst thing you can buy. This is leagues better than the garbage dell and HP sell at this price.

Looks pretty solid! There is also cashback (top) and discover 5% using Paypal at checkout. I think I may bite on this.

Thanks OP!

Can anyone actually checkout? I've been unable to complete the checkout once I "place order" D:

Edit: NM. Got it to work in the app. I had a 10% off movers coupon or something, so once I saw that (in addition to my Best Buy credit card rewards), this was a no brainer.

Hopefully it's not a LHR-card but it probably will be.

It's true, this was available for a long time. Make sure you read the reviews. This prebuilt should have been getting scooped up at this price.

Ya. Sadly I'm in the same boat. I'm planning to open up the gpu and put in new thermal pads.

I picked up this one on Thursday and immediately replaced cpu heatsink with the vetroo v5 for $30. I've been mining with it as a stress test for the heat since then and have had 0 issues with heat going on 100 hours straight now.

Mine was not a LHR card, it was the Asus Tuf. I've been getting constant 89-93 MH/s for nicehash.

You can actually make the stock case work just fine. I've installed a full ryzen atx motherboard without issue, along with a 5950x, and bequiet low profile cooler. Getting celsius temps of 40s on both cpu and gpu. Installed a rear bequiet fan and front 120mm bequiet fan. Sold the intel mobo, 11700kf cpu, and ram so full 5950x build for pretty cheap.

Also put a 92mm top exhaust bequiet fan as well. The Asus case is nice in that it is quite compact. Think I will disable the rgb lights in the front as it isn't really my thing.
