This isn't necessarily a steal, but an amazing solution for those interested in building a water cooled PC with hard line tubing.

Of course, you'd probably be challenged to cobble together the associated components (case, power supply, motherboard, radiator, cooling block, etc.) for anywhere near this price. However, as an example of the hidden costs of the system, the SFX power supply is generously sized and has a solid feature set... but would also be much more expensive to replace than an ATX solution (currently around $150 for an SFX model vs. $100 for a comparable ATX model). Similarly, AM5 isn't exactly the platform around which anyone is building bargain-priced solutions (AMD continues to release AM4 CPUs to remain competitive in the lower price tiers).

I'd recommend updating the listing to note that this setup includes a complete water cooling solution. I am surprised that this critical feature doesn't appear to be clearly documented in the Micro Center listing.

https://bitspower.com/titanseries..._mini_2.0/

For those who always envied water cooled PC designs, particularly a hard line tubing design, this could be a bargain basement price to make your dream come true. Otherwise there's really no "deal" here for anyone seeking PC bang-for-buck nirvana.

Good luck!

And this is a deal.

You're trying to argue otherwise, but you're making yourself look like a clown instead.

You are moving goalposts by first saying the water cooling adds no value when it's essentially free (the $130 Lian Li case this uses doesn't come with it standard), then by saying there's no value in the labor because you can do the work yourself, then by saying the individual parts can be acquired for less if you want to sit on your hands for months.

What's next?

Agreed, seems roughly par for the average part costs, the water tubing/block is just an added bonus. Doesn't provide much value, unless you have a really small space with near zero ventilation.

Combining this deal with this CPU & Memory deal from Newegg would make a very nice build:
1) Ryzen 5 7600X CPU
2) G.Skill 2x16GB DDR5 6000 RAM
-> Both for $228.95 at Newegg!!

It's currently on Backorder, though, so you just have to be patient!

The PSU alone is $125 usually and the mobo is around $150 so this is pretty decent deal.

With a name like "lazyguy", you'd think the preinstalled radiator and tubing would appeal to you.

Rough pricing on this is $130 for the chassis and another $130 for the power supply, so I'd say there's a lot of value here.

It's not mentioned in this listing, but this is a complete water cooling solution with all the work done for you (let's say another $150, factoring parts and labor if you started from scratch). What's also surprising is the dedicated water pump over an AiO solution, meaning changing to a different water block would be much cheaper.

If anything, the least exciting part of this is the motherboard, but even that is hard to scoff at.

This is a perfect entry point for anyone wanting to get into water cooling, especially since it avoids the crappy AiO setup that most other entry points try to trap you with.

You'd think that, but really I do all my own work on a build.

Pricing for the individual components can wildly vary throughout the year. In general when getting said deal the mobo and PSU can be had for less than $100 a piece. And the case is a mATX so medium fair price point is about $100.
The loop can be costly for the individual parts. Most users or beginner builders which this appears to be marketed for aren't over clocking or using heavy enough load to necessitate a liquid block. Air would be fine in most cases. Besides a few C, this is about as useful as RGB. Just my opinion after 5 custom builds and some testing.

Custom loop watercooling is really a hobby that has non justifiable costs for the performance gain if you omit the hobby/enthusiast aspect of it. I did it with EK parts for 13900KS and 4090 FE and it adds like $2000 to the parts cost. Bitspower is a good value brand, they make the fittings for Corsair's watercooling lineup.

You're essentially paying an aesthetic tax when doing custom watercooling. Looks super nice, lots of work and swapping parts can be painful but it's fun.

that simply means you're not the target audience.

people buying this want to put together a PC now, not throughout the year.

Let me clarify, it's not really that great of a deal. Considering the parts regularly go on sale in bundles or individually roughly twice a quarter. So the wait isn't all that much of a wait. If you're in the market and don't shop around that's on you. The deal isn't that slick. And frankly the case is pretty much hot garbage.
Okay, now you're just moving the goalpost.

Just because YOU can do the work yourself and have the time to do so, doesn't mean it's universally applicable to everyone.

At the same rate, not everyone has the time or patience to assemble a system piecemeal. Even if GPU prices went back to normal, prebuilts would still be popular for the convenience/time/knowhow factor.

As it stands RIGHT NOW, the case and PSU are both around $130 each.

Taking only that into consideration, you're getting a full water cooling setup with the labor completed and a motherboard for $40.

You do you buddy. Goal posts haven't moved, this is a site to talk about "deals". I assume everyone looks around at more than a single post. That's why there is a history of past deals. Bare bones systems aren't pre built, they're for builders. So I'm not really seeing your point.
And this is a deal.

You're trying to argue otherwise, but you're making yourself look like a clown instead.

Your "opinion" only applies to you.

You're not providing anything objective as to why this isn't a deal.

Therefore, your opinion isn't relevant.
