This is actually a decent deal. Costco has a 90 days return policy if better deals show up.

Anyone know what size PSU is in this?

edit:
After a bit of clicking around on Costco's site, I found the details that I needed:

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (8-core, 4.7 GHz) Processor
32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 5200MHz RAM
1 x 2TB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 Solid State Drive
Wi-Fi 6 (2x2/160) Gig+ and Bluetooth® 5.3
750W Power Supply
360mm liquid CPU cooling system

How are the thermals on the one you got? Running hot and poor thermals seems to be the biggest complaint with any build using this case due to its solid glass top with no top vents.

I looked at it in Costco yesterday and noticed it only has a single exhaust on the back/rear. The air being exhausted was noticeable warmer than the MSI and Cyberpower builds that were right next to it (both of which also has top vents).

Yeah, it's a pretty stupid design. You actually have five fans exhausting out no fans bringing in cool air the three for the CPU cooler the rear one and the power supply one all exhausting out I flipped the rear one to pull air in the case was completely designed for negative air pressure, which you really don't want

Can you flip the fans of the radiator to suck air in instead?

Keep in mind the 750W power supply, cutting it close with this CPU and those GPUs.

I am running 9800x3d with 5080 on 650watt it is fine. 5080 doesn't even go above 300watt at peak. CPU is like 120watt at max. So, 420 watt.
