Out the box, I plugged in all my peripherals, and went straight to downloading some games, and with everything I have played on it so far, it has performed fantastically, as expected.

I was originally worried about getting my first liquid series PC, but I must say, after receiving, unboxing, and turning this on, I am glad that I made the step, and am grateful to PC Specialist for setting up such a beautiful machine.

Special thanks to G.Heller for building, testing, and QCing the PC, and thanks to C.Horner for the careful and comprehensive packaging care to ensure it arrived in 1 piece.

All pictures taken were with the side panel open, so the RGB strip hotspots are a lot more visible, they look much better and are hidden fantastically behind the edge of the glass panel.

Thanks again PCS, its been a pleasure!

Looks fantastic - no better way to play around in lockdown times. It is a unique machine - nobody else has quite that. Such a fun moment when the knock at the door happens. I run multiple vms and wow to see how well a vm can
play video as though it were hardware. as I am playing and compiling a kernel - it is incredible! Enjoy!!

I'm a nut, I have 4 screens

It would be really nice, PC Spesh, if we could post vids up here on how we are operating... planting seeds

Unique machine for sure, but also a heavy machine, was a back ache trying to get this up the steep stairs in my house, to say the least!
