i bought in during the indy store grand opening
very nice pc - I was able to double the memory for like $25 or something ridiculous. There's a second m.2 slot for another nvme - highly recommend (although the screw on that is so tight you will probably have to remove the graphics card to loosen it - again, no biggie.
probably could use a couple more fans blowing out the back
so here's my one gripe and its pretty major - the thing will not wake up from hibernation or at all - once the screen goes dark you have to hard reboot the machine and then soft reboot to get the video card back. Supposedly it's a driver issue with AMD - I don't really care - that's super crappy.
Personally, with Black Friday coming up and deals happening all the time, I would attempt a custom (DIY) build. That could, potentially, end up costing a little more, but I would have full control of what parts I use and I might be able to squeeze more performance out of it. But that's me; I enjoy the whole process.
But, if you're on a budget and/or you don't want to deal with the hassle of DIY, not a bad deal.

I'd hazard a guess that the mobo needs a bios update/flash, or that there's a bios setting that can be changed. Or maybe even chipset drivers need to be updated for it to work properly. But i'd be pretty shocked if it couldn't be resolved.

I don't do that bc if it dies while I do it I'm on the hook for the aftermath. No thanks.
