This being my first desktop computer in roughly eight years, it was nice to see just how easy it was to get everything plugged in and set up the day it arrived. The clear side panel makes it easy to monitor the moving parts for dust or other problems and is easily removed to check cables or use some of the extra RAM slots. There are plenty of USB and other ports too, with a pair of 3.0 USBs, a headphone jack, and a microphone jack high on the front for temporary attachments or to accommodate shorter cords.As far as performance goes, the more resource intensive games I've tried so far (From The Depths, APEX Legends, Astroneer...) run well at high settings even with OBS and other programs running at the same time. Having both an HDD and SSD means plenty of storage for video clips, games, photos, and other records while still keeping space on the SSD for things that need to run quickly. The machine can get a bit louder than I would like, but it's far from intolerable.The light rings on the front and remote to control them are also a fun extra, though easily disabled if they become distracting.
