Review on 💪 Powerful CUK Mantis Gamer PC: Intel Core 11th Gen i9, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB, 512GB NVMe SSD + 2TB HDD, Liquid Cooled, Windows 10 Home by Matt Pavelko

Summary: I don't want to say anything about individual parts such as the processor or graphics card, as there are several sources on the Internet that have a more professional opinion on this. However, I am satisfied with the general build quality and the components chosen. The system started up with no issues and behaved as expected in several of the stress tests I ran. The documents provided show that the quality of the product is checked by at least two technicians, which is encouraging, but they installed a 3T hard drive instead of the 2T hard drive listed in the product description. No disadvantage for the user, but makes these QC checks somewhat questionable. Personally I'd appreciate some transparency and more info on the exact make and model of the parts, so here's what I got :) ):* MSI Z490-A PRO motherboard which, as some comments state, is one of the cheap options for the Z490 chipset, but still well overclocked and one of the two best options in its price range.* Graphics card: PNY RTX 3070 XLR8* Water cooler: CUK logo present, OE unknown.* RAM: XPG GAMMIX d10 3000 MHz* hard disk : Universal 3.5" 5200rpm 3T :(* Keyboard and mouse: CUK brand, Original manufacturer unknown, Poor quality. The cables were fine and I was happy to see that the cooler was installed in the correct orientation (in the Contrary to the product photos) Some minor complaints: no mesh filters, front design questionable panel, which causes the airflow to generate noise Appearance: very subjective, I never understood its meaning, but in my opinion it looks sore beautiful. Conclusion: Given the parts selection, this configuration could have been built cheaper, but is a good choice if you don't have time to build your own.
