Price was good but ended up upgrading to the Aurora R12 3070 with liquid cooling. It's way quieter

Week 2 - Worked right out of the box ... just needed to be updated via Microsoft and Dell. Quick and easy. Excellent value and performance. I did add a 4TB 7200 rpm HDD for files and the installation was the simplest I ever saw. They thought about this when it was designed,

Was purchased for a gift but ended up keeping it. It is a great gaming desktop. It does get warmer than expected but it is in an area that doesn't get a lot of ventilation. Looks very cool! Was delivered on time as promised.

Love this computer. Its really fasrt and starts up quick. I bought 32 GB of ram from Best Buy the day I got the computer and upgraded it before I even turned it on. I'd suggest that as well.

Great pc but the pc is too compact not much fans this would be a personal heater for the winter if you didn’t have one and it’s very loud! If you wanna sound like your standing next to a jet buy it!

This desktop is sick! It's kind of large but it's worth it. Looks like a spaceship with how it lights up. The speed is unbelievable and I never hear it which is magic. No fan sound, no "I'm about to explode due to how hard I'm running" sound. Big time gamer and this has made gaming so much better
