Jason Premo - It's a great PC at a very good price. So far, I've been able
on December 18, 2019

It's a great PC at a very good price. So far, I've been able to max out the settings on all the games I own and get 60 FPS (which is, sadly, my monitor's limit). Skytech was able to get the PC out very quickly, too, despite the holiday rush. It arrived within their advertised window. Also, when I called them about my order shortly after placing it, the customer service guy was very nice and helpful. So I definitely recommend the PC, and Skytech as a company overall.
There are a couple of a small complaints though. It's nothing to prevent me giving it 5 stars, but they're worth pointing out.
First: The keyboard that comes with the computer is nice and sturdy-feeling, but it has one *huge* drawback that makes it unusable for me: the backspace key is only one key-length! It's one of those keyboards with a massive enter key, and the slash-pipe key (\ and |) is instead placed to the right of the = + key, which means the backspace key has to be shortened to the standard key size to make room. I think this layout used to be standard until sometime in the 90's? Anyway, this is *extremely* annoying for anyone who's used to typing on a keyboard with the more modern layout, as you constantly end up typing / when you what to backspace. I have no idea why anyone makes keyboards like this anymore. In any case, there's a good chance you already own a keyboard you like (as I do) and so it won't really matter.
Second: The computer has lots of RGB stuff. No biggie, if you don't like it (as I don't), you can turn it all off. Problem is, the RGB on the cooling fans turns itself back on whenever the computer wakes up from sleep. To turn it off, you have to click a little button on the tower six times. Likewise, it appears that the RGB stuff in the mouse can't be turned off at all. (Which is not a huge deal for me; I didn't find the ergonomics of the mouse comfortable, so I don't use it anyway). FYI, if you want to turn off all the RGB, the RGB guide on the website only tells you how to turn it off for the processor fan. If you want to turn it off for the power supply and cooling fans, you have to use physical buttons (one on the back next to the power switch for the power supply, one on the front labeled "LED" for the cooling fans).
Third: For some reason my hard disk (500gb SSD) was already half full. I was able to fix it by running chkdsk. I'm guessing this was a Windows issue, not anything to due with Skytech, but I figured I'd mention it.
Fourth: The Wifi antenna doesn't seem to be very powerful. I get about 10 mbps from my study, while my laptop can pull 25 from the same location. Not a huge deal, of course, because most people will use a LAN cable.
Once again, aside from the small stuff above, the computer is great and I highly recommend it.

Very quiet, makes almost no sound. Very bright LED's. Plenty of USB and sound ports. The inside is very cleanly managed and has tons of room for adding any new additions you might need. The price seems a little high for what hardware it has, but i think it makes up for it with the customer support, rgb mouse and keyboard, and over all quality of the build. My computer personally came with 4 WiFi antennas and a canvas protective bag. The glass panel is one of the easiest panels to remove and put on that I've had. Can't say its the most elaborate computer, and building one yourself would definitely have its own advantages; however, Skytech includes plenty of other advantages.

Posted by: Mo
very easy to set up, launched and updated really fast, quickly installed several games at once and runs them all well at max settings. didnt come with much bloatware like my past several computers, so i didnt have to spend so much time deleting things on day 1. some reviewers had mentioned issues with the wifi antenna/adapter, but it connected immediately and ive had no speed issues so far. im really happy with the product and the price, and even if i decide to modify it later on this seems like an amazing starting point. its pretty hard to find such a good deal in this price range.
