    I'd love to see the results of the 1080p tests with an R7 250 GPU running in CrossFireX. Could be a great option for the casual gamer and those looking to return to PC gaming from consoles.

    My friend is interested in something like this, but adding in an additional GPU for better gaming performance.

    That was my instant thought too, why the heck are they using that?

    My 2nd thought is while it's a nice case, why the heck are they using something that large? for the components in it it's a ton of wasted space.
    Heck at least us something other than the stock cooler to justify it.
    I do like the Aerocool Dead Silence case, great case for a large graphics card and an over sized cpu cooler or some water cooling, but not for as little as they've got in it.

    But it is a special offer so it's cheaper to get it vs a more sensible sized case like the fractal design core 1000
    However if you follow the special offer review link it actually list the case as "STYLISH PIANO BLACK ENIGMA MICRO-ATX CASE" which looks like it's a re-badged InWin
    Also lists the ram as 1 x 8GB

    the best option might be buy it, sell the psu and case get something like the Aerocool Qs-101 and Silverstone st30sf strider sfx psu (total £50) and you've got yourself a far smaller system which would make an excellent HTPC/living room pc

    I'd buy this PC if I wasn't lacking money. The specs seem so awesome.
