    I’ve been using Cyberpower PC for a very long time now. Though I do spend about 2,000$ per computer, all of them are still working. I gift them down to my kids as I upgrade myself. I think one is pushing 12? years now and still works fine.

    4:51 Rule of thumb: The exhaust of a fan is on the side where you can see the legs holding the center in place. Yes, now they have reversed fans for a cleaner look, but they are more expensive. Case like this could really use some reverse fans on that side wall, so you don't look at that ghastly mounting and a label.

    I won't criticize that PC too much. Some of the parts were good and cable mgmt was excellent.
    I will disagree with using the PSU it came with. That is not a very good PSU, and when I build my system, I would definitely upgrade it. I prefer EVGA, Superflower and Cooler Master PSUs. Apevia are known to break and be very loud.
    The motherboard rear IO is really sparse looking with only 4 USB A ports and 1 USB C. Six to 8 USB ports are pretty standard.
    The other issue is, if you upgrade the motherboard and PSU, the excellent cable management goes to waste.

      I usually aim to get midrange motherboards over entry level. On the other end of the spectrum, high end motherboards are usually overkill and too expensive but the motherboards I've gotten most recently were about $180 on sale.

It may seem like a really long time for you, but their GTX cards are not that old at all in memory, relative to my age and experience. Even 2016 is like yesterday to me. In fact when I think about 2015 and the fact that it was right at 10 years ago it's wild. Experience in time does this. 10 years is half a lifetime to a 20 yo.
