Also, the GPU looks like Zotac ... and if you zoom in on it, there is some manipulation to the image where Zotac was airbrushed out... it's lacking detail as to which specific 3060 Ti you get.
Figured I will multi-quote for everyone wondering. I do not have this PC (so I can not comment on specific parts/performance), but I have exactly this case (Thermaltake Core P1 - now evolved to P3) in black with a 5950X and an RTX3090 Founders Edition, and a full size ATX PSU (this was one of the huge reasons I got it) with an ITX motherboard. Built it during COVID - SFF PSUs were a pain to get, but wanted an ITX setup - hence the compromise. This is my wife's PC.
Dust is definitely an issue. Although it's not really crazy, not any crazier than my daily driver full-tower setup with a Phanteks 719 with a massive amount of airlow thanks to multiple 140MM fans + 420MM all-in-one liquid cooler, and near identical specs (5950x, RTX 3090 Founders Edition, just more RAM and WAY more SAS enteprise storage + multiple NVMEs in a full size ATX board). Enthoo has a lot of filters, and yet, the dust layer with high airflow is almost the same. 3090FE is a bigger dust magnet, more than anything. Dust is significantly lower if you don't have it sitting on the carpet, or better yet somewhere on your desk so something to consider.
It has not sagged at all in 3 years (Jan 2021 build - height of parts shortage... oh my wallet... - but no regrets, it's been a trooper PC)
It is incredibly accessible - one thing I really like about this case, it's an awesome test bed. GPUs can be mounted vertically or horizontally, if you just buy the case separately, it comes with a (3x - but fine for RTX 3090 performance) PCIe riser cable included - works great.
Open air - all the airflow you need, easy to overclock, and is whisper quiet because of natural circulation even a really high loads. I did mine some small amount of ETH for fun with it - and it was the quietest mining rig I have seen after I replaced thermal pads on the 3090FE - out of the box it does almost nothing to cool the RAM chips and would throttle specifically in memory-intensive Ethereum computes, but with modded pads - fantastic card.
The glass is sturdy, mounted well, with rubber gaskets. All the risks and benefits of tempered glass apply, but I have lifted it many times by the metal support beams without any issue. Heck, it survived a 1,500 mile trip when we moved completely assembled, sitting in a back seat of a minivan in nothing but an Amazon box. I did not take the glass off for the move. Go minivans, right?

How long before that gimmick stand starts sagging forward?
I have a bigger versus of this case Thermaltake p5 and had it since 2016. No issues. No sagging. My RTX 2060 is still working without issues. Surprisingly, the motherboard and cpu isn't getting hot either

Looks cool, does it rly not need coverage on 4 sides like that?

I really like the invisible air filters on this case 😉

At least with this one you can easily blow out the dust bunnies and see when it needs cleaning vs. the ones that are sealed up and never get cleaned till they die/upgrade.
White + Dust, not the greatest combo.

Decent appearance? That's debatable lol

You need to read returns on computers .... if opened, they will test it... if the person testing it is brain dead and flags it for a swapped processor or such part.. YOU can be charged a fee.
LOL, yep, and they'll even count the number of pins on the CPU to make sure it is the right socket type
And just for fun, lets assume what you claim is true (even if Amazon is notorious for NOT checking returns). You just do the return under the reason "ITEM NOT AS ADVERTISED." Bam...pretend problem solved
BTW, I love the 'do your own research' comeback..."you need to read returns on computers." Man, you got me.

It would be different motherboards as well. 12th gen is Socket LGA1700 as is 13th and 14th. 11th gen would be LGA 1200. The model number of the system indicates it is 12th Gen per other sites.
Also, the GPU looks like Zotac ... and if you zoom in on it, there is some manipulation to the image where Zotac was airbrushed out... it's lacking detail as to which specific 3060 Ti you get.
Decent deal, 3060ti is a strong performer. As for the case? If you have an issue just get another one down the road. Make sure if you have a cat in the house, open case does not mix well with a house cat.
Let's assume that I don't troll on a Deals forum just to be an ass.
Can't remember when Iast called someone an "ass" or "troll." Can you say the same?

One more than you've posted...and in less time registered. My deals per time served is looking pretty nice compared to yours. Oh, and I've had multiple front page deals (check out that sweet "pro" label)

It's ok.. I understand you are probably that guy who bounces from forum to forum looking for interaction
No, just here and gundeals on reddit. Only two forums I post in. 99.8% of positive interaction. For example, I don't go around insulting people or making up fake Amazon returns procedures based on a bunch of empty assumptions that a product description MIGHT be wrong.

Not at all but thanks for playing.
BTW, what was the purpose of your post? I actually explained how Amazon returns work to dispel bad information. All you did was cast shade at me and on this product's hypothetical problems that it could have in theory.
