Double check the parts before the first run.

I figured I could save time by ordering a pre-built computer and then modifying what I need, especially given the price and availability of GPUs. Next time I'll just make my own again. It arrived last night and was unpacked this morning to get ready for what I was going to use it for. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CHECKED THE ENTIRE SYSTEM BEFORE FIRST START. Concerns: 1. Complete work and inspection requires the work of your team. When they put the foam into the case to hold all the computer components together, several things happened: 1. The CPU fan was partially misplaced and needed to be repaired, 2. The RAM bracket was partially compressed, necessitating a reinstallation. set RAM. While this may seem like a good idea, check-in is required.2. ESD safe packaging foam is usually marked with the ESD mark with the triangle, hand and lightning bolt logo. The foam INSIDE the computer tower is not labeled as such. It's like regular flexible foam packaging that can generate static electricity. ESD can damage various ESD sensitive computer components like motherboard, RAM etc. My case was delivered damaged. See pictures above. He doesn't look abandoned. It looks like someone pulled it from the front or tried to lift it from the underside of the bezel. That's not a deal breaker for me. The system works and it comes with the 3060 that I was looking for.4. There are noticeable abrasions on the graphics card fan case, as if it had been dropped or near a piece of metal with sharp edges that scratched it. He looks rough. The self-test went well. Okay, now the pros: 1. For the price of all the components you get, it's pretty hard to beat, especially for GPU availability. And if you can find a 3060 and not an overpriced 2060, they'll sell those PC assembled parts for you at a reasonable price given the current supply. Especially when you can find the 3060 on sale alone for 1200-1500. I needed this thing for transcoding and encoding.2. After making sure everything was properly adjusted after removing the foam inside the tower, it powered up with no issues. Device self-test etc. everything went well. I will continue to build a car in the future and not buy a finished one.3. I ordered this as a base system that expands to add RAM and additional storage to the device. It'll get the job done, and at a great entry-level price.4. All in all a decent price, decent parts and meeting my needs. I personally won't be ordering or building this brand again, but for those who don't build cars and want a good car at a good price, with decent specs and from an expandable box, this is good for them. For you guys I would say it's a 4 star machine, for me it's 2 stars because there are missing parts to complete, a damaged unit is received and assembly needs to be checked before first use.

Pros
  • Good build
Cons
  • No
