That generic Asetek 120mm is nowhere near tough enough for a pre-OCed 8700k. Add in just 8 GB RAM and not even an NVMe SSD, for $1450+tax? ASUS is out of their minds

The specs may suck but I'd still take it over a Cyberpower rig any day of the week.

Cyberpower is the Ugo of prebuilt PCs. Just pure trash.

Those diagonal crisscrossing vents are going to be a dust magnet. >_>

The stats do not list liquid cooled CPU but the photos show it. Is the Strix air or liquid cooled CPU? What is the noise level in DB at minimum CPU & graphics card usage? what is the noise level in dB at maximum CPU & graphics card usage?

If HN sell it with zero percent interest, it will sell like hotcakes. They can sell Pyrons for double what they are worth due to their financing options.

the photo here in the Tom's review does show liquid CPU cooling installed....

The case seems to be a re-branded/re-imagined CoolerMaster MB500. The build is a little overpriced. I think you could do a little better building your own then again what G said is spot on! I wouldn't buy a Cyberpower PC any day of the apocalypse.

Perhaps the RGB brought up the prices 😛
