It's been a while since I bought a dedicated desktop PC and this ended up being a great choice after researching options for something with a small form factor that met the needs for my HTC Vive VR system. Setup was a breeze and took less than 15 minutes using my HDTV as a monitor to have the Asus ROG up and running including a few software updates. No hiccups at all. With the Vive, the system has so far worked flawlessly performance-wise. The GTX 1070 is easily able to take everything I've thrown at it so far in VR with High quality settings. Very impressive for such a small machine and with barely audible fan noise. The adjustable 3-zone lighting system (it can also animate to system audio) is a fun to have gimmick for sure. The form factor is a real winner here and saves a lot of space while looking good in my opinion. Of course, the size limits easy upgradeability, but that's the trade-off. The keyboard and mouse are serviceable. The keyboard lighting is useful, though the mouse is completely bare-bones. Both are easily replaced with better options of course. Note that it has a single 1TB HDD and no SSD in this SKU. Overall, for the price, this is definitely a great choice and is a solid choice for this VR generation.
