    Great Tower for the price. Perfect for what I use it for, a mix of basic gaming (WoW and Overwatch) and basic net surfing and some streaming.

    This thing a a monster!! I bought this to use for work, I design 3-D renderings and some of the requirements by the software were unachievable without building my own rig. I got this thing to see if the software would work and its handled it like a champ!

    Great pre-built gaming system for the price. Set up was easy and system had very little bloatware. Specs are great for the cost and it would be difficult to build it yourself at a comparable price, so this is a great time saver.

    This item I purchased less than 6 months and is acting up from time to time. It gets frozen and unresponsive to any input from the keyboard, mouse or the unit power button. When this happens, the only option is to unplug from the power source. So frustrating and so random.
