Ummm

It's a cool machine, but using a twist tie to keep a cable from getting into the fan and arriving dented is not very awesome. The shipping packaging was horrible to say the least. It was falling apart at my door and the ups guy had to warn me to be careful so the contents didn't fall out. Seriously? I struggle to recommend it because honestly god knows how it'll be when it shows up.

Very good way to upgrade to 3080

Arrived in excellent condition. Well packed. Configured just as expected, ballistix ram, MSI 3080. I wish the power supply was a little beefier (650w). Had Norton trial installed.

Definitely highly recommended workstation!!!

Excellent build quality. Running Win11 already (released 10/5/2021) - beautifully! Super fast. CD ROM with essential MB, chipset, etc. drivers. (Would have been better as a thumb drive as there's no CD/DVD/BR drive on my model....) Still, excellent experience. Even called support twice for user config questions and they were courteous, professional and accurate!
