Pros: -Every component is mid- to high-range -Sandy Bridge i5 and yet the price is still low -Case layout is super clean and has plenty of room for future expansion -If you wanted to upgrade in the future (I will once RAGE is out), it'd be simple and you wouldn't eat much money.

Cons: -Mobo is pretty cheap and not sure how long it'll last -GPU is budget, but understandable given the overall price. And it's still DX11 w/ 1GB RAM... -The aesthetic is a bit too young for an old dude like me (minor gripe) -PSU wattage *might* be a concern if you're planning ambitious future upgrades. Modular would have been nice.

Overall Review: I was convinced I'd be scammed over somehow in this deal. The price was simply too good to be true. My Windows key didn't work initially, and I thought "here we go..." but it revalidated fine. Now that I've got my drivers and everything running, I can say this is quite simply the best tower deal out there in terms of bang for your buck. I had a similar DIY list I was making before I saw this deal and the cost had gone well over $900 (granted the GPU [Geforce 560TI] was better, but not by that much!). Of course, something could happen and I will surely let people know if it does. I usually build my own towers, but I have to admit they put this thing together much cleaner than I could have, even with help from my friends.
