Pros: I upgraded from a mini with great specs, but wanted a computer with a graphics card and that was a great improvement! Screens change, popup very quickly. So far so good! Cons: one blue screen after 3 days. But otherwise, working great. Overall Review: I would purchase this computer again.

Pros: It is very fast. I added more hard drive space, 1TB isn’t much space today. Easy to upgrade and add fans if you want to. Cons: Small hard drive but easy to update Overall Review: Good PC and easy to upgrade!

Pros: I love turning it on and seeing all the fans light up, its very pretty (and distracting, which can help with stress). I like when I turn it on, like my other computer; also, seeing the MSI loading gives me confidence that I made the right purchase decision. This is my first purchase of an i7 computer; I’ve always used refurbished i5’s, and they work ok, but they can be frustrating for gamers. Cons: I learned I need to take an image of my new pc (the image of my system is a form of backup in-case of data corruption; Google ai says to use an External hard drive/or SSD), so I’m looking for an external hard drive for that. My desktop doesn’t contain the normal dvd-rw disk drive like they used to, so the reboot disk isn’t included. So my image backup would replace that. I tried using a USB flash drive, but it’s not big enough, I guess. Overall Review: Loving the new Pc. Going to get help with data transfer from old pc to new pc so I don’t have to start over again with building the files, like I do normally. I am happy I made the decision to buy new.

Cons: This was supposed to have WiFi capabilities. After a lengthy phone call with a great customer service rep, it was determined that this computer never came with WiFi capabilities installed. The solution was a $40 credit back on a $1700 purchase. This doesnt quite seem fair. I could have returned it also but I dont have a UPS within 100 miles of me. The box was pretty much destroyed by the time we got the packing tape off and the computer out of the box. We had already inputted personal information into the computer and I didnt feel comfortable having that in the hands of someone else. It would end up costing me more to return it. Very frustrating when you research a product and dont get whats promised. Overall Review: Seems like there should be a final test after the computer is put together to make sure everything works before its sent out to the customer. Definitely lacking some quality control. Who wants a computer in 2025 that doesnt have the ability to connect via WiFi.

Pros: * Quiet operation
* Fast performance (i7-13700F + 32GB DDR5 + RTX 5060)
* Handles games and heavy workloads with ease
* Easy to upgrade (added drives and SSD for Linux dual boot)
* Stable once configured Cons: * Only 1TB NVMe included (2TB would be better)
* Needed BIOS tweaks for dual-boot setup Overall Review: Im very pleased with this system. Its quiet, fast, and performs well for both gaming and productivity. Ive tested it with *Rust* and other titles, and it runs smoothly on high settings. The Intel Core i7-13700F, 32GB DDR5, and RTX 5060 provide plenty of power.
My main use is chess analysis and working with large chess databases, and this PC handles those tasks quickly. I installed two additional hard drives from my old setup plus another SSD to run Linux in a dual-boot configuration. The included 1TB NVMe SSD is fine, though 2TB would have been a better default. I did need to make a few BIOS adjustments for dual booting, but once set, everything has been stable.
Solid PerformanceHandles Games and Heavy Databases with Ease
Great All-Around PC, Easy to Upgrade and Dual Boot*
Overall:A strong, versatile machine with excellent performance for both gaming and serious work.

Pros: Speedy, smooth, granted it’s quite a step up personally, but I was loving how fantastic it was Cons: One of the fans lights stopped working
The pc cannot turn on, this is quite disappointing and makes me wished I had purchased a different PC Overall Review: Go with a different product, this one only lasted two weeks

Pros: Inexpensive. Easy to set up. Packaged to protect product during shipping. Does exactly what I bought it for. Looks amazing. Is very quiet. Throws of virtually zero heat even under heavy load. Cons: Mouse is not good. It freezes no matter where it is plugged in. Video card bracket does not line up with case causing the Video card to not be seated out of the box. Quality control failure at the factory. Overall Review: I would recommend this product. It arrived intact with zero damage. After figuring out why the video wasn’t working, video card bracket prevented card from seating in motherboard, removing the bracket and using the included stand to prevent sag, all is working well. I use it for retro gaming and current gaming. It handles everything I throw at it well as I am not looking for 1,000,000 frames per second. The 65″ Oled TV I use for a monitor works and looks good. What I actually bought it for is to convert 2D movies to 3D with Owl3D. That process took over 15 hours on my laptop. This computer is now pumping out movies in under 4 hours and the results are stunning on our 100″ screen 4K home theater. I missed the theatrical release of Star Wars Episode 1 in 3D and just assumed it would be available on dvd. Well, I was wrong and have struggled for years trying to figure out how to do the converting myself. Now I have a computer that can do the conversion in reasonable time with stunning results. All with zero sound or heat like the laptop struggled with. Very happy with this purchase.
