Yea, that picture of the build and all the pictures on NZXT's website show their AIO cooler in that "tubes at the top" configuration. however the product literature says to put the tubes at the bottom. Marketing and engineering need to talk.

So if I was to get into the products they demo and what they deliver we'd have an interesting discussion.

Lets talk something significantly less fun and less subjective.

What's the PC like after a year and a half of owning an NZXT machine?

We have an entry level gaming PC disguising itself as a middle ground enthusiast machine.

From questionable motherboard performance to slightly underwhelming cooling for the machine. The hardware itself isn't really the issue. The case itself being less than function for ports is only sort of an issue(3 failed ports; and one port that isn't performing properly) The motherboard itself will need an external bluetooth connector. As the built in one fails to impress. 2 failed USB ports on the back side aren't that much of an issue really. It's only ~50% of them. Not that much really.

The top case USB-C port being unreliable isn't anything exceptional but you'll probably want a docking station to actually get you a proper amount of functional ports.

Otherwise the GPU performs admirably. As it wasn't built by NZXT; and as such isn't subject to a high failure rate. All of the build issues and faulty components don't really hold a candle to my favorite feature of the machine.

Some really awful software called NZXT CAM; it can take fully functioning displays and reduce them to unreliable nonsense. It can simultaneously over and under allocate resources. Uninstalling NZXT CAM? Did you get suckered into a NZXT monitor. It probably wont work that well without it.

Overall quality review? Same league as Pokimane's Cookies. 7/10 "If you're a broke boi just say so." oh that'll be $28 dollars. Dont even think about going to get a costo prebuilt that's the same product only cheaper. How would the already rich eat?
