Customer Ratings & Reviews

The good stuff about this unit: The I3 processor is fast enough for causal gaming and very good at steaming movies. The size of this unit is perfect if you don't have room for a full size tower. There is not a lot of added programs to slow this rig down. Lots of USB ports to add stuff. This unit is easily modified for future upgrades. The front lights can be changed to different colors. The GTX 750 Ti video card is running games like War Thunder on high with no problems. I bought this rig as a temporary gaming P.C. until I get my custom unit built. I was not expecting a lot , but I was very pleasantly surprised at its performance. It defaults to start up with Steam Big Picture. This thing was made for a living room gaming P.C. and it works flawlessly. I also use it as a web browser and to watch movies online. As far as gaming with it, I have not used the keyboard or controller yet because I use a Razer Black Widow Ultimate Chroma keyboard and Razer Death Adder Chroma mouse. Some reviews I have seen said that the unit runs hot. I have not seen this to be true, however if you plan on upgrading, I would recommend more cooling fans. The bad stuff: The wireless is not very good. I hooked up an external antenna and because the connector was not tightened to the case, it became unplugged from the mother board and got tangled in the CPU fan. This was not an issue for me as I just wanted to see the range of the wireless. After I fixed tis problem I found that it does not have good range at all. I am using a Linksys WRT 1900 AC router and ran a LAN line to it afterwards with no problems. If you are going to use this wireless, I would recommend a wireless card. No optical drive. This unit has no drive to install games off of a disc. Once again, not a deal breaker. I have an external drive ordered to watch movies or play games. Overall I am very pleased with this unit. If you go into buying one knowing that it is not set up for wireless and has no CD drive, you will be very pleased with the performance. I like that it is made to modify and easily upgradable.

Very quiet machine, stays cool, wifi works good , uses n, not ac, but if your router is a n then ac doesnt matter. Mini keyboard is not all that, i never use it. Keyboard and mouse blue tooth work fine at a adequate distance, but if at a certain distance away becomes sluggish. Positives, can upgrade cpu, ram , and card but there is no reason too, the Nvidia gtx 750ti with 2gb is more than enough and 95% in ultra settings. Overall a very good computer, have had over a month and no problems so far. Windows 8.1 seems to work fine, but you can dual boot by disabling secure boot in bios.

Freezing, crashing and blue screens right out of the box if you attempt to do anything more than sit at your desktop and browse the web. Not exactly a positive for something that calls itself the ultimate gaming console PC. This thing is going back to the store tomorrow. I learned my lesson. If the price sounds too good to be true, it is.
