Poor circulation and noisy

Performance for the price is fantastic. I have this for sale and have yet to find another pre-engineered or custom construction that will beat the cost. All game settings are as high as possible. Unfortunately, that's where the good things end. There are many mysterious things about this PC. First, the graphics card actually cuts the PC in half. It looks like the cold air intake should be on the bottom of the PC and the warm air exhaust should be on the back and top. The graphics card suppresses most of the airflow into the rest of the box. Second, the PC lies flat on the floor with no protrusions whatsoever, so air can't get in. If you put this bad boy directly on the carpet, there would be no airflow. There are NO additional PCI slots. There is 1 slot and it is occupied by a graphics card. You can't install a sound card or network card, or if you have a VR headset, you can't install the wireless feature. There are two slots for NVMe storage, one is free and the other is occupied by the operating system and storage. There are two slots for full-size 5-inch SATA hard drives, one is reserved for data storage. 32 GB was enough for me, but all four memory slots were occupied. I have a lot of additional things I want to add and there doesn't seem to be much that can be updated with this box. There is a loud noise in the video, which is definitely not normal. I was going to mention the slight coil hum, but it drowns out everything else. When I'm on the phone, people hear the squeaking clearly and ask what that noise is. Apparently this was due to the liquid cooling of the processor. I was able to confirm that neither of the two CPU fans, the GPU fan, the PSU fan or the mechanical hard drive make any noise. The keyboard and mouse combo feels pathetically inferior compared to the rest of the box. I wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary, but it feels like they were either an afterthought or expecting you to already have your favorite keyboard/mouse. All in all, this box has a few glaring flaws that make it hardly worth it. The inability to add anything PCI and the ridiculously loud whining are the nails in the coffin to send this bad boy back.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • No paint required
