Thankfully, unlike some others, my machine came exactly as advertised and with a tight build quality. In fact, it may be the best ready-built desktop PC I've ever bought.The machine worked straight out of the box with no modifications or special configuration. Clean install of Windows, with no bloatware or adware or other garbage, and everything reasonably configured—you'll just want to run Windows Update and then the GeForce Experience to download the latest video driver. Fans run fast and quiet, and have kept it cool so far. Everything is performing to spec, and I was even able to get VR running within an hour.Note that the lighting rig (which does look nice through the side panel) isn't actually controlled through software, but runs independently with its own little remote to control the colors and patterns.If there's one drawback I'd have to name, it's that the glass front panel precludes installing any optical drives or similar expansion bay accessories. You'll have to rely on external USB devices if that's something you need, but it hasn't really been a pain point for me so far because of how cloud-based things have become.I used to be the kind of geek who'd scratch-build machines, but honestly I don't have the time or mental energy for that sort of thing anymore—either keeping up with the state of the hardware scene, or doing the actual build and inevitable troubleshooting. And I hate getting a pre-built machine only to spend hours getting it configured and weeding bloatware and struggling with worry that I hadn't gotten what I hoped for. This? Getting this up and running was a casual morning that left me completely satisfied.
