Customers commend the Minotaur II Desktop for its overall performance. However, some customers have reported issues with the cooling system, noting unusual noises and, in some cases, complete failure of the cooling fans.
First, it looks like a space ship. Second, it's bigger than any computer I have ever had. Third, because of the multiple fans, you can definitely hear it. Not overly loud, just enough to get your attention. That being said, setup was easy. Just had to open the case and take out the foam packing. The first time I started it up one of the fans was barely touching a cable and sounded like it was going to take off. Reopened the case and moved the cable and have not had the problem since. Oh, and my video card has a mini hdmi (adapter came with it) and (4) mini display ports (no adapters included). I thought that was odd since the description says that they are full size ports as does Nvidia's website.

The system runs as I would expect a 2000 system to run, HOWEVER, it could have used a little more quality control. The case cooling fans are always producing different, and strange, noises. They are intermittent, but annoying just the same. And once, in the middle of playing a system demanding FPS, ALL of the cooling fans stopped working!!! I opened the case and found that power to the fans from the the Strike-X control panel became loose. I reconnected it and it seems to be running fine now. Other than that, a good system.

This computer works great for basic games and high end graphics games. The only problem I have encountered is a minor cooling issue. Besides the cooling problem, the PC runs great with no problems on basic to intermediate graphic games. As for working uses it has been simple to write papers, do research, and make preferable tweaks.
