Seems like a decent shake on current hardware prices. Prebuilds come with a warranty and I had to use a warranty for two parts with another vendor and it was nice only dealing with one company. I'm a "build first" guy but some of these prebuilds are basically free assembly with a warranty if you get a decent deal.

Idk about the case though. I no longer want glass anywhere on my case. Idgaf if it gets dusty, glass is a bad material for computer cases. I don't show people my computer. I'm old. Give me the loud fans and the dust. I'm used to them and can battle

Spec-wise, it's a good deal. Especially if you also use this PC for content creation/general tasks. You may see similar Intel builds for this price, but they perform worse for gaming and better for general use.

My problem with prebuilt gaming machines. What motherboard is being used? What memory is being used? Will it let you run the proper memory speed and DOCP and other settings to get the most out of a Ryzen? Some of the cheap motherboards don't let you run those things or expo. I don't like how they skimp on things like that. It can effect performance easily by 20-30%

So buy it if you like the price, check what you need to check, and return it if you don't like what you find

This is a really odd take. Ship it back and forth? why not just list full specs? We have the technology...

It was only mentioned once so let me say again. 9900x3d is worse at games than 9800x3d. Only 6 x3d cores vs 8.

OOS now but I hope anyone buying this isn't buying for gaming, this is speced to be a workstation PC.

For gaming:
- 9900x3d is worse and more expensive than a 9800x3d
- 64 gb ram is more expensive (duh) than 32 gb but provides
- 5070 ti is marginally better than 9070 xt but is significantly worse when looking at price to performance

For producitivty:
- 9900x3d is better than 9800x3d
- 64 gb ram is very helpful for tasks that need lots of ram
- The 5070 ti has better performance and price to performance vs 9070 xt on average for producitivty tasks

There have been a few deals with this case in recent days. With only 2 intakes, 4 exhaust, it will have negative pressure, which will lead to dusty insides of the PC.

Also, doesnt this CPU perform almost the same as 9800X3D in gaming? There were some 5070Ti deals for around $1750-$1850 a couple weeks ago, but with 32GB RAM. So, $2000 for similar specs with more RAM does not seem worth it.
Do others agree?

I have an Azure 3 Plus and you are incorrect about the fans it has 4 intake fans 2 on the side and 2 on the bottom right below the GPU. Its not the most quiet pc but zero issues with cooling my 9070xt it never goes above 61C and about 67C on the CPU.

Ah, I see them now. Thanks! But then, why do they show only 6 fans total on the specs page? Wouldnt that make it 8 total fans? Did you have 8 fans, including 3 for the AIO?
