This is my first gaming-dedicated desktop and I'm loving it. It's exceeded my expectations of most of what I thought it would be like.
For the setup experience, I've really been unable to push to its limits, so far! But that's part of why I got the powerhouse - I wanted it to be more than half of what I needed for my usual dual monitor (one is a drawing display tablet) and moderate gaming and drawing activities.
Improvements: I can't think of any improvement areas, other than size. Then again, I'm new to gaming dedicated desktops and they are probably beefy in design for several good engineering reasons. I had to get creative with its placement and sit it on my desk's top shelf to keep its intake fans from sucking up too much floor-level dust and pet hair and also because there was little space to keep it at floor-level anyway. Luckily, it all worked out, and it's big for a reason, so not a concern anymore.
Now the lights... they attract a lot of attention. I didn't care for them when I planned to buy it, only the hardware performance. But the family loves them almost like a moth to a light. Maybe future versions could use more lights, somewhere, doing something?!
Overall, it's an excellent desktop and hope to use it 7 to 10 years before upping to a new computer!
I bought this primarily for college and it's more than enough horsepower to complete my courses online. It looks great to and I'm really happy with this purchase!
I love my new HP OMEN desktop PC! It is lightning fast, loaded with plenty of memory. Set-up didn't take long. I like the new touches like the colorful see-through computer base.
