A Closer Look
Let’s get right to it. This is one of the best looking PCs I’ve ever seen. Seriously, it is utterly gorgeous and the attention to detail really nails this one. It has a soft milky white finish that may be powder coated, or at least has the look of it. It’s more matte than glossy too, which gives it a much more premium look.
There’s a lot of extra ventilation down the side, ensuring the CPU and GPU can get all the airflow they need. There’s no case fans here, so the GPU and CPU coolers pull their own air through the case.
I love the funky ventilation design too, it’s a cool design and much more exciting than just a simple mesh panel.
The top of the case has a floating top panel design with a gold trim on the interior edge.
It looks really stylish, but also allows a lot of extra ventilation in the top too.
The front I/O panel is on the side, but there is a power button up on the top.
The gold on the top is complimented by a silver strip that rolls around the front panel.
The front panel also has an RGB strip behind it, so it should look amazing once powered up.
Down the right side, even more ventilation, ensuring your hardware is kept nice and cool I like that the PC looks great on both sides too, rather than just a bland panel on one side, as it doesn’t limit your placement options.
Around the back, you can see the word “prestige” at the top of the case. There is a TX form factor PSU at the top, the GPU below that, and the mini-ITX motherboard at the bottom.
As it’s a proper dedicated GPU, it can be removed, replaced or even upgraded in the future if required. It offers a single DisplayPort and three HDMI ports.
Strangely, it seems I have the version that doesn’t have WiFi 6, but alas, they do have a version with it, so be wary of which you’re ordering. There’s ultra-fast 2.5Gb networking though, which is always welcome.
Finally, the underside offers up yet more ventilation! Plus, those firm rubber feet give it a good ground clearance, but will also prevent this lovely PC from scratching up your lovely desk!
