    Hey,

    So I got saw this spam from amazon entitled "Christmas Gift Offers in our PC store" and decided to have a look out of morbid curiosity, I saw something stand out to me, I wouldn't of thought twice only for the reviews and it seems right up my alley(I've been keeping an eye out for a PC deal), I've decided to post here as I looked at the other sub-forums and they were far too broad a subject.

    tl;dr saw a neat little rig, pros and cons from the Pros?
