Been thinking of a new pc but other than star citizen I don't see anything I can't get on my ps5/series x or run on a low end pc.
Hard to upgrade, poor cooling, super heavy/awkward case.
I had my job purchase it for autocad, and the video card seems to give me a lot of trouble. Freezing, locking up etc. I do however feel like it was a good deal, just not as trouble free as I hoped for. I did add 32gb of ram and swapped the ssd for a 1tb.
Just giving those who are interested a heads up. Read the fine print of the specs so that you know what to expect. They seem to make everything vague so you're stuck with it after purchasing.
Dark Side of the Moon 460W PSU, Air-Cooled CPU & Solid Side Panel.
So, yes its not the best build. They are obviously going to show the "coolest" version of any all over the website and the "coolest" build option in advertising. The first and second image on OP product page are what you'd get, everything after that is just showing you what you could've had, if you wanted to spend another $800+.

The unique look is not worth wearing out all the fans quicker.
This thing is designed for aesthetics only. The case is extremely tight and not designed for customization or mods; the GPU he sold us only fit because I had to bend part of the inner casing and remove one of the fans to get it in there (I set the fan on top of the GPU). There's little to no room for additional HDDs (I put a SSD in there, but it's just kinda sitting inside on a "shelf" and the fans are proprietary-- if you remove or replace any of them, you get an error upon boot. If you don't like the extremely loud fans it comes with, then that's too bad. And as other comments / reviews have mentioned, this guy gets super hot--the case is very poorly designed for ventilation.
TO BE FAIR, however-- she has been using it for over a year now and it does perform, but when it comes time to upgrade I'll probably just have to build one, which I should have done in the first place.
