Can you buy a brand new system with a 1070 for $599?
I guess I haven't seen many super ultrawides or triples hooked up to a laptop.
I have a cyberpower i5-2500k and i purchased a Strix G10CE with a ridicular low price from Amazon last week. I notice that the fan creates big noise when load is medium and the power supply is just 500w. Really want to switch to my old case and use my old 1000w gold PSU. Do you need to take the CPU off? Mine is a 11th intel with 3060.
Thanks!
The case swap in theory is not too bad, but ASUS had some weird design choices on the case that made it a pain to swap. They put these clips/locks near PCI slots that make it ridiculously difficult to install or remove the GPU, which in normally takes about 30 seconds. They also have an anti-sag bracket on some models. And the motherboard for whatever reason was super difficult to remove near the IO shield (the back ports) without using a lot of force, was worried I was going to break it lol. I followed some videos of a guy case swapping the same PC, and he had the same issues. I didn't remove the CPU or the cooler when I did this.
Mine was the G15CE model, and the case looks pretty similar to yours. Another option might be to swap the stock CPU cooler for something better. Should be quieter and hit lower temps. Unfortunately with my old ASUS case, it was too small to fit a lot of standard coolers, but the Vetroo V5 fit just right (excellent cooler btw).
So yeah, sorry for the essay, but a case swap is definitely doable. Just have to decide if it's the best option for you - in my case the CPU was hitting temps of 95C using the stock stuff, ended up spending about $110 when it was all said and done to buy the case, fan, and CPU cooler, and I picked up a few of those on warehouse deals

You're claiming that they ship an acrylic panel with the system that is not meant for use?
I think thats quite unlkely. Where do you get that idea?
If this was the case then I'd expect to see documentation from Asus to explain that to users.
I've worked on this PC and I can tell you that among factors such as enterprise-tier parts, disposable PCI slots, and a loud rear fan, the thermals of this PC would cause the user to seek an upgrade prematurely, which is exactly what companies like ASUS want.
After putting together dozens of virtual systems on pcpartspicker and filling and emptying my amazon and newegg carts, I found that I just couldn't beat an on-sale pre-built. While this Asus ROG system is a bit better than what I ended up getting, I ended up getting an HP Victus that was on sale at Best Buy for the same price as this Asus. My kiddo isn't going to be swapping motherboards, so the proprietary board on the HP didn't bother me, plus the Victus was smaller and probably quieter than other starter PCs.
The thing that kind of surprised me was just how little you really needed to play 1080p games at 60+fps. My kiddo doesn't have a 4k display, so an i7 with a RTX 3080 wasn't necessary. That Victus "only" has an i3-12100F and a GTX 1650, but I've been impressed by the combo for 1080p games.
Perhaps in a year or two, my kiddo could swap in a 1660 super or whatever is cheap and not too power-hungry as a worthy upgrade. Oh, and the little V-shaped infinity mirror thing on the Victus is cool... :-)
That said, if I hadn't have bought the HP, I probably would have seriously considered this Asus system.
Rates will not be anywhere close to the highest in 40 years this month. Its the INCREASE that is the largest increase in decades.
They are going to add 0.75% for the 2nd time. That +0.75 is the highest increase in decades. They usually only change rates by 0.25 +/- I believe. The rate right now is ~2.3%. So we ewill jump up to 3.1% level. After that who knows, it might hit 4% soon too I'd expect. They are raising fast relative to how fast they normally change.
But they are definitely NOT increasing the rate to the highest rate in 40 years. The fed rate was 6.5% around 2000 and almost 10% in 1989. We're very far from hitthing those levels.
