Had to ship this one back for two reasons. First, the power button didn't work. Once pushed in, it didn't come out. Had to hit the power button near the motherboard and manually reconnect four tiny colored cables for it to turn on. Second, one of the memory sticks was faulty. The 3TB Hard Drive also didn't appear at first because there was no drive letter assigned. Phone support was able to resolve the hard drive, but the broken power button was another story. If it had just been a faulty memory stick, they could just send me a new one, but for $2500, you'd think you'd at least get a machine with a working power button. Shipped, serviced and returned in less than two weeks. It's very quiet, you barely hear it. Performance is awesome and I am pleased with the purchase, it's just that this one required two surgeries to get it going.

This PC performs well, let me start off by saying that. It runs any modern game on the highest settings, and it gets a little hot, but never struggles. Out of the box, though, the internal packaging foam was shoved in so carelessly that nearly all the wires became unsocketed and unplugged. I spent 90 minutes with a tech over the phone figuring out what went where. Since then, more than a year later, I've had consistent blue screen issues. Right now, I can't even get the thing to boot. Nothing specific ever causes the BSODs--sometimes it'll crash doing something as mundane as sitting in a Discord call, and I've had all manner of crash codes come up. I haven't been able to pinpoint if this is a fault RAM issue or if the drivers with this GPU just really hate Windows 10. This would be a perfect PC if it ran consistently, but I've had nothing but headaches for the past 13 months.
