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?

"This isn't really a deal because someone could find it in the goodness of their hearts to buy it for you."

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.
Why even waste money buying a prebuilt PC, you know the ones that get 50+ reps on SD. They're not really a 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. Screw people who don't mind spending a bit more for convenience you know? Shame on them. The deal isn't that slick. Frankly oem PCs are hot garbage too, just git good and build it yourself.

For what it's worth, the water distribution plate for this case is 189.99 alone at Micro Center.

Bitspower fittings aren't cheap. You need to have 6+ fittings to complete the custom water loop. Their compression fittings are $9.99.

But are you considering the fact that you can build most of that yourself from scratch, according to that other guy? /s

It just takes a CNC mill, laser cutter/water jet, raw materials, and 50+ hours of design, tooling, and assembly.

You only need extra fittings if you're running another loop for the graphics card.

At this price, anything extra you need to buy is heavily offset by the discount.

Unless you already have a Ryzen 7000 CPU, I'd skip this and get the $400 7700x mobo/cpu/ram combo or the $500 7800x3d mobo/cpu/ram combo and just spend $50-100 each separately on a case and PSU. Unless you particularly love this case and/or water cooling (7800x3d in particular peaks at like 85 watts and there is absolutely no benefit from water cooling... even the $25 Deepcool heatsink at Microcenter is more than sufficient), there are better deals and/or better products.

Buddy your $50 power supply isn't going to be better.

I didn't say it would be, and I said $50-100. The size of the power supply depends entirely on your needs, and an 850W PSU is overkill for a 7800x3d and an RTX 4070 Super, for example. Aside from that, the SP850 is SFX and has a small high pitched fan, and is not particularly reliable or well reviewed anyway. I see good deals for 700-850W, $50-85, quieter ATX PSUs pretty often.

If you buy this combo, you'll spend $410 for a 7700x and 32gb RAM or $460 for a 7800x3d and 32gb ram. Added to this case/psu/cooler, you're spending $710-760 for the setup.

The combos are $400 or $500. An air cooler is $25-40. There are extremely diminishing returns past the $35 thermalright assassin, air coolers are all more reliable than liquid, and there's no performance penalty. If you run high end Intel chips or like water cooling, that's fine, but this is an AM5 board, and this is a deals site, so I feel like price/performance is worth pointing out.

So you're at $435 or $535 with the mobo/cpu/ram/cooler, and you have $275 or $235 to spend on a case and power supply before you hit the cost of this setup. You can catch some deals or buy used and save a lot of money for the same performance. That's all I'm saying.

Is there anything that I still need to get to have a complete water, cool desktop other than memory and CPU and SSD?

I actually don't really care about saving money, other than that I always felt a water-cooled setup. was prohibitively expensive. at this part of my life I feel like I'm okay with doing something simply because I feel like I've always wanted it

It has everything you need to water cool a CPU, but you will need a small saw of some sort, a heat gun, and sandpaper at a minimum to bend the included hardline tooling. A deburring tool, a tube cutting jig, and a silicone insert to bend the tubing without possibly collapsing the inside at the bend is best. If you mess it up you'll have to buy some more hardline tubing, or just buy regular flexible tubing.

I'm not 100% sure that the included CPU block will have thermal paste. You'll probably want some better thermal paste anyway, or extra if you have to troubleshoot the cpu block's seating etc. That's only like 8 bucks.

If you want to cool a GPU, you'll definitely need more tubing, more fittings, and a water block compatible with that specific GPU. This will probably run you about $200 minimum.
