Excellent value
Excellent value, maxes out all games I’ve thrown at it. 1000w psu and case design are excellent. Picked it up on sale for $300 off. The first one blue screened 4 times in 2 weeks, so I exchanged it (thanks Best Buy for making it easy and fast to exchange) and the new one has been bullet proof for a month. FYI the case has a slight curve inside, so if you’re thinking of adding a 4090 or another behemoth card, try to find the smallest one possible. After taking out the anti sag bracket and cable management box, the gigabyte 4090 was still too big by 1-2mm. No way I’m cutting the case to get that to fit.

It’s beefy (and great for rendering)
This is my first time owning a desktop, previously I have only had an iMac, so I’m having some growing pains adapting to the windows system. However, so far it has been performing well and doing everything I’ve asked of it. I’m an animation student and got this for rendering purposes, anyone who knows about rendering knows that it can take forever and requires a lot of power, but I had no issues with rendering my thesis and other animation projects quickly with high quality finished products. For example I batch rendered 500 frames at a high quality and it was completed in an hour and a half and 250 frames took around 35 minutes (Lower quality renders would sometimes be 0.07 a frame). I do also want to mention that I have had some weird things happen, like not being able to move around in the finder or things not showing up in the finder when I open it (like not even desktop showing up in the outliner). As well as some other similar issues that show up occasionally but not every time. I’m not sure if some things are legitimate issues or if I’m just not doing things correctly (I’m not the most tech savvy which is why I got a prebuilt so I’m nervous that something’s just not plugged in right or I need an obvious plug in or smth). I’m still in the first month or so of owning the system so I’ll have more of an opinion in a year or so. For now, I think it’s a very powerful system that works great (and looks super cool)!
