[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3824501, member: 5800"] Nothing says credible quite like the video being sponsored by a competitor. While it's true that there's issues with all pre-builts, it's also true that there's lots of issues with self-builts as well. For the money the R13/14 appear to be pretty dang good builds as long as one is down with that aesthetic. Considering that my pricing would be around $1200 delivered if I went that route it's especially good. Basically $300 more than the 3080 that's in it. The other option I've kicked around is the Intel NUC extreme boxes. the 12th gen looks pretty fantastic with it's biggest bit of awesome being the incredibly tiny size. What sucks is that I've just got a pile of components already waiting on homes: SN850 2TB M.2 4TB SATA 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 3600/DDR4 650W PSU I think in total I paid like, $50 for those, the cases and the tech frames. So from a cost perspective it'd be sweet to use them to keep the total down. On the R13 I could buy it with low spec mem/hdd for instance and drop the SN850, a PNY 500GB and the Corsair in place. The NUC I couldn't use as much since it uses SODIMM IIRC and I'd have to get a GPU which alone nearly doubles the cost. Thankfully I don't have a need to get anything right away Lots of ways to go.
