We just had one open here. Don't know too much about their rep. Can you elaborate?
They are very reputable and authentic sellers of items.
People hate on them coz it's only one in each state and sometimes most of the items are in-store only; unlike this one which is shippable.
This is a great deal if you don't live near a Micro Center.
If you do live near one, you can get the 13700k bundle, and build a PC with better parts overall. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VvMXQP
What am I missing on this deal? Why aren't people jumping on it?
I would have bought this if I didn't just buy the prebuilt Dell w/ a i9-14, 32 GB RAM 5600, and an RTX 4090 w/ 24 GB for < $400 more. I don't know about everyone else tho.
**EDIT**
DIED AFTER 3 DAYS. Returned to Micro Center and exchanged for a different PC.
So I recently bought this computer as a work/play PC to use for light 2D CAD work and games like Company of Heroes 3.
Pros:
Very fast - Coming from high end gaming pc that is 5yrs old and this new pc is smoking fast
GFX card - can't beat the 4080 for the total price, no matter what people say.
GFX vertically mounted but far from glass - I just like the look lol
32gig RAM only using (2) slots so it can be expanded if desired
Windows 11 Pro
Cons:
M.2 slots - From what I can see there are only (2) M.2 slots. (1) for C: drive and the other is being used by a temp sensor. Might be a 3rd, but the GFX card support is in the way and you can't see the entire bottom of the motherboard. I am coming from a PC with (4) M.2 drives so this sucks
Fans are low quality - I still have my old pc running next to the new one, and it is noticeably different. This PC has light whine to the fans that is annoying, even at lower speeds. I am honestly already thinking of changing them out.
Loud - Because of the glass front face, this thing pulls air around the sides of front through small 1.5" gap. This, along with the top radiator fans, makes a lot of wind noise when ramped up.
USBs - as mentioned above I wish it had more USB ports, but with my monitors having them now I don't know if I'll ever really need more.
All in all this is a great PC so far for the price. I would say with it's components it's def. worth the price for me so far. I have been trying to build something similar for a while and couldn't do it for 2K. I think the few issues I can nit-pick are menial for the cost savings and time savings of not building another full PC.

That's what I wanna know
Because it's microcenter
Looks like a really basic/low end motherboard.

It's shippable which is clearly mentioned in the description, then what seems to be problem?

Seems easy to get parts separately and build yourself for under this price. Not much of a deal. Maybe I'm missing something.
