Even though shipping is $50, these systems seemed like good enough deals to post them as another viable option for complete gaming systems. Since
my HP post contained a lot of configuration options I'll probably use it as a point of comparison for most of these. Just follow one of the links and add item to cart and the 10% sale code is automatically applied when you go to checkout.
H1 Mini [nzxt.com]
Intel Core i5-10400F
GeForce RTX 3060
16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHz RAM
1TB NVMe M.2 SSD
B560i ITX Motherboard
140mm AIO Liquid Cooler
650w Gold Power Supply
$1169.10
The
H1 Mini [nzxt.com] is the same price as the
Omen [hp.com] 5600x/ RTX 3060 configuration but has 2x the RAM and storage plus liquid cooling. The
H1 Mini Pro [nzxt.com] is $17 more than the
Omen [hp.com] 5800x/RTX 3060ti configuration and comes with 4x the RAM and 8x the total storage plus liquid cooling. The 10th gen i5 and i7 benchmark lower than their Ryzen 5000 counterparts, but score comparable effective FPS on many popular games. Still a decent deal at these price points without needing to upgrade anything that the Omen might be lacking on.
H1 Mini Pro [nzxt.com] OOS
Intel Core i7-10700KF
GeForce RTX 3060Ti
32GB (2x16GB) 3000MHz RAM
1TB NVMe M.2 SSD
1TB 2.5" HDD Secondary Storage
B560i ITX Motherboard
140mm AIO Liquid Cooler
650w Gold Power Supply
$1439.10
Starter Pro [nzxt.com] OOS
Intel Core I5-10400F
GeForce RTX 3060Ti
16GB (2x8GB) T-Force Vulcan Z 3000MHz RAM
1TB WB Blue NVMe M.2 SSD
B560 Motherboard
Deep Cool GAMMAX GTE V2 Air Cooler
500W Bronze Power Supply
$1304
Again with the
Starter Pro [nzxt.com] they offer the 10400F, and at ~$44 more than the
Omen [hp.com] 5600x/3060Ti configuration but with 2x the RAM and 4x the NVMe, this one falls right in between the two Minis combining the lower CPU with higher GPU in a bigger case and full of listed brand name parts.
Streaming Plus [nzxt.com]
Ryzen 7 5800x
GeForce RTX 3070Ti
16GB (2x8GB) XPG 3000MHz RAM
1TB NVMe M.2 SSD
B550 ATX Motherboard
Kraken M22 120mm AIO Liquid Cooler
750W Gold Power Supply
$1799
It's easier to compare these two directly to
Omen [hp.com] configurations since the CPU is available on both. The
Streaming Plus [nzxt.com] is about $73 less than the Omen 5800x 3070Ti configuration and comes with 2x the RAM and 4x the storage and liquid cooling. The
Streaming Pro [nzxt.com] is kinda steep at almost $300 more than the
Omen [hp.com] 5800x 3080Ti configuration but I figured I'd add it in anyway. It comes with 4x the RAM and storage, liquid cooling, and while these two aren't as good for people just wanting the GPU in a throw-away system, they're also not OEM garbage. Videos I searched had Gigabyte and EVGA brand GPUs as well as other name brand parts I've listed and overall better specs.
Streaming Pro [nzxt.com]
Ryzen 7 5800x
GeForce RTX 3080Ti
32GB (2x16GB) XPG 3000MHz RAM
1TB NVMe M.2 SSD
Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro WiFi Motherboard
Kraken X63 280mm AIO Liquid Cooler
750W Gold Power Supply
$2609
EDIT: This motherboard listing could be mistake as the Streaming Plus also previously used B450 and now uses B550, and the Streaming Pro Build Kit comes with B550. There's also no B450 option in their custom builder.
EDIT: For people who are interested in (or not opposed to) building a PC, they do also offer some Build Kits [nzxt.com] which contain everything you need to build the specific series system as listed, and for a little bit less cost. Looks like currently they only have the Starter Pro [nzxt.com] for $1259 or the Streaming Pro [nzxt.com] for $2519.

I had an amazing experience! The PC was packaged fantastically for shipping, and it only took a couple of days from order to receiving. Beautiful PC and highly highly highly recommend a custom build from NZXT!

Wow, that is bad. In my opinion they are well packaged, so that seems like some gross negligence.
I just ordered a Mini Pro today when it came back into stock. Missed the extra discount of this deal, but it was still $100 off.
Anything I need to know about right away (I guess that goes for any model)? Driver updates, BIOS settings, other updates or tweaks I need to make? Hoping to hit the ground running when it arrives so any advice would be awesome.
I'm not a gamer so I'm actually quite tempted to swap the GPU for a cheaper one (if I could find one?), but can anyone recommend a game for a mid 40's guy that hasn't ever played PC games before that would shine on this system? May as well try it out and see if I like it/need it :-).

Cool, thanks. I've played Forza on my old Xbox 1 and enjoyed it. Any other must plays?
I'll make sure to attach the antenna to mine :-). Mine shows up tomorrow!
How do you control the fans from the Cam software? I can't find any settings that seem to apply to them or much of anything else there. I also just have a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard, so was wondering if there's a workaround to get into the BIOS?
Other random problem: I got the H1 Mini Pro with the extra 1TB HDD. I just see a c: drive listed and can't access the additional drive it appears. If anyone has a pointer, let me know.
