Considering the i7-Brix cost $620+ about $200 for OS, RAM and hard drive which doesn't take a lot of work to put-in/install). I'd rather spend my $70 saved on a few games...
If it would play them 😉
 
Brix Pro rebadge...sigh...
I don't see why they've bothered to rebrand a fairly niche unit. The Brix Gaming (FANG Mini R9) has absolutely horrible cooling, like no-one bothered to actually think about designing it better with a big shared heat-sink, bigger fan on the top of the unit etc., so I'm not sure I'd want to game on it, definitely not for that price.
 
Quite the dichotomy in CyberPower's pairings:

1) AMD - mediocre CPU for gaming, good graphics
2) Intel - great CPU, mediocre graphics for gaming

Don't they understand that gamers want both a great CPU and a great GPU? Build that in a Brix-pro size platform, and they would buy it. Otherwise, you're asking them to buy a handicapped gaming PC in either offering.
 
This has extra fans on the side near the mSata slot. I wonder if that helps with the noise issues of the Brix Pro? Would love to see a review.
