I needed a reliable pc to replace a very noisy, prone to crash existing one and this purchase fit the bill.  For around $400, it’s a good deal but there’s a few caveats that go with that.  As for a gaming platform it lacks any certain essentials.the positives:quiet and small form factorreliable processor and sufficient ram (16gb) for the pricegood customer service although i haven’t needed itNice keyboard and mouseA great selection of how to videos for those less familiar with computing environmentsThe less than positive:The OS drive is a 100gb ssd.  The user will need to constantly monitor this space as it will fill up fast with temp files and other data that the user may not be aware of. Recommend replacing this with a 500gb ssdthe storage drive is a 500gb drive.  Considering that there’s few restrictions on application size anymore because storage is cheap, this is not even close to sufficient space. Recommend a3tb or greater drive which btw can be purchased for under $100.No wireless card and the wireless dongle is outdated (300mps, 2.4ghz) no support for 5ghzNo room for expansion inside the case.  while the mother board has 4 SATA connections, one is used by the dvd drive and the 4th is used by an unknown device.  the only option for adding more drives is to use externals.  01/21. I had contacted Blair before this review was published to ask why and they sent me a 5ghz dongle without being requested to.  Awesome customer support!Am underpowered GPU.  Bear in mind this is being marketed as an introductory gaming machine.  The card installed is likely sufficient to handle most non-shooters.I’m very satisfied with what i purchased because i knew what i was purchasing, but for folks new to computing, if you purchase this pleases be aware that you may need to purchase additional peripherals to bring this pc up to speed as a full-speed gaming machine.My modifications:Once i know i can safely reinstall the OS and activate it I will replace the ssd with a 500gb ssd. This has proved to be ample space for the OS and any temp or installation files that come with downloads and installs.i removed the 500gb storage drive and replaced it with 6tb drive. considering some of the programs i own are greater than 70gb in size each, this was essential.I replaced the graphics card with an Nvidia gtx1050 ti with 32gb onboard memory.  This should be sufficient to run everything i own or purchase in the next few years.I also added a 4tb portable hard drive for backups and system tools i can use on other machines when required.Replace the 300mhz wireless dongle with one that works with both 2.4 and 5ghz networks for faster throughout.If you’re familiar with the shortfalls and are ok with a 6th generation (or possibly older) processor then this is an ok buy.  Just be sure you know what you’re going to get when it arrives.
