Not like the picture but still a solid product

I'm actually (so far) very happy with the product itself. It's running Star Citizen at max settings which really says a lot. If you calculate the cost of the components, you'll end up pretty close building them yourself, so the value is a good thing. I like the look - not too "gamy" which was necessary in our studio. PROS: Quiet! I swear if the light wasn't on you wouldn't know it was working. I had to check several times to see if the fans blow harder under load (it did). Good mid-range components - included with HP NVMe and MSI 2060 (not Zotac in photo). Both pleasant surprises. CONS: The picture is very deceptive. It doesn't have RGB lighting. Although they come with some ASRock bloatware to change the RGB fan colors, the fans themselves are only red. (I have confirmed this with tech support). Also, there is no liquid cooling on the processor as can be seen in the picture. It's just a fan (even without the LED). They claim to be virus free, but mine was riddled with stress testers and Skytech's own remote desktop browsing software, NONE OF WHICH CAN BE DIRECTLY REMOVED OR REMOVED. The update required a reinstall of Windows (not just a reset). That's a big NO for me. Overall, despite the flaws, it was still a solid deal and does what I need it to. Under load, the temperatures remain acceptable even without liquid cooling, so I'm satisfied. I just want the light to be RGB as shown. Maybe I will update in the future. UPDATE: As others have REALLY received RGB lighting, this should serve as a warning to buyers that the product you are receiving may not be compatible. Individual components will vary. Sometimes these are important factors for customers, so keep that in mind.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
