I just bought this for my nephew, be advised that it does not come with the glass side panel nor does it come with the water cooling And there doesn't seem to be a way to customize it to add those things. It's not expected to arrive until 13 March for me.

this sucks, 3060 machines have been selling at this price for a while, and if you're gonna bite the bullet at least get a lenovo or something with airflow

No idea why all the comments saying this is a bad deal are getting downvoted. This is far from a good price now a days.

For reference two weeks ago I bought a desktop with a 3070, better storage, and water cooling for an additional $150.

600? Sure, just wait about ten months and then check the used listings on eBay.

I ordered one back in October 2022, kept getting emails notifying me of delays due to hardware shortages. I cancelled in December and bought it when BestBuy had it on sale. I won't ever order directly from Dell again. Just a heads up.

It was the HP omen l25 that was on sale for Presidents' Day. I believe Lenovo had a 3070 as well, but it lacked the water cooling. Best Buy had one for $1300 as well.

3060 for $700: https://slickdeals.net/f/16476964-refurb-hp-envy-desktop-rtx-3060-i5-12400-2-5ghz-16gb-512gb-w11h-te02-0020-714-99?attrsrc=search%3Aterm%3AHp+desktop%7Csearch%3Apage%3A1%7Csearch%3Aposition%3A3%7Csearch%3Aresult_type%3Athread%7Csearch%3Aresult_id%3A16476964&src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

3070 for $1100: https://slickdeals.net/f/16441513-hp-omen-25l-gaming-desktop-i7-12700-16gb-ddr4-512gb-ssd-1tb-hdd-rtx-3070-1-102-free-shipping?attrsrc=search%3Aterm%3AHp+desktop%7Csearch%3Apage%3A1%7Csearch%3Aposition%3A4%7Csearch%3Aresult_type%3Athread%7Csearch%3Aresult_id%3A16441513&src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

No. It literally says air cooled and solid side panel.

Nothing in that specific price range that is easily found, but for +$250 (not +$150) there are a couple options on costco.com with 3070. Some minor and major differences might be worth the extra $250, since you're getting more than just a straight GPU upgrade. That said, not sure of skytech quality or CS.

https://www.costco.com/skytech-chronos-gaming-desktop---11th-gen-intel-core-i7-11700f---geforce-rtx-... [costco.com]
11700f vs 12700F
32gb RAM vs 16GB RAM
1tb nvme vs 512gb nvme
Win10 vs Win11
650W* Gold PSU vs 460W Bronze PSU
(*650W Gold is the only PSU I could find in identical builds, couldn't find anything about model ST-CHRONOS-0421-W-CO specifically, so it could be different)

https://www.costco.com/lenovo-leg...57987.html
12700 vs 12700F
16gb DDR5 RAM vs 16GB DDR4 RAM
1tb PCIE 4.0 nvme + 1TB HDD vs 512gb nvme (unknown if pcie 3.0 or 4.0)
500W Bronze*PSU vs 460W Bronze PSU (couldn't find exact PSU specs, but its at least bronze)

I ordered this two weeks ago and Dell ends up sending a r13 with i5, 8gb ram, 256 ssd and rx 6600 video card not 3060. Good old bait and switch.
