Anyone know what motherboard MSI is using in this? I also can't seem to locate a manual or any reviews that shows if there are any extra 3.5 HDD bays available. Anyone know if there are any additional bays?
I don't know for sure but thinking it's the tomahawk board... it appears to only have 1 NVMe slot and think the mounted HD (notebook) drive is on the back side of the case. If I'm right, not the ideal board for me.

The case appears to be a MSI MAG Series FORGE 100R case. Amazon price history shows about $80 normally, but sometimes $60.
No clue about the motherboard. What's throwing it off is they are advertising Wifi 6E instead of just 6. That helps limit the options.

Horrible pc for the money.
The only thing that matters is the gpu 3060.
A performance pc is built around the gpu.
A 3060 Black Friday sale should be $800 or less.
A non Black Friday sale for a 3060 should be $900 or less.
This system has some components I don't need or want, so I'll be building my system exactly the way I want.
Looking at your $800-$900 recommendation, the CPU would have to drop to an i3 12th gen, and ram down to 16GB, along with an equivalent or better GPU at a good deal. Otherwise a well capable gaming rig. Is that what you had in mind?
I was wondering the same thing, I read that Costco will price adjust items as long as it dropped price in 30 days. At worse you will have to return in store and just buy it at lower price. Costco CS is very good.

If you look the Codex R spec(https://us.msi.com/Desktop/Codex-...ification) they all have B660 motherboards. It says an ATX board and it is 99% going to be an MSI one, so PRO B660-A DDR4 most likely. You will have four SATA ports.
The case is just a MAG FORGE 100M, it is going to have two 3.5" and three 2.5" bays.

1. It's an HP
2. It doesn't have a GPU
3. The MSI is infinitely superior
Enough said.
Edit: Now that it's been erased, OP was asking about an HP w/o a GPU and very similar specs for $50 cheaper.
Edit2: Price of the HP just dropped to $799, so now this post is irrelevant. Apple vs Orange, GPU vs no GPU.
No clue about the motherboard. What's throwing it off is they are advertising Wifi 6E instead of just 6. That helps limit the options.

But yes, these deals are much appreciated, even if it's still not quite the exact one I'm gonna pull the trigger on.
can I replace the power supply?

Do they do price adjustment for Black Friday?
