Vibox III-21 Gaming PC • Intel Core i7 9700KF 4.9GHz • Nvidia RTX 3050 6GB • 16GB RAM • 1TB SSD • Windows 11 • WiFi

This was a present for our son, who absolutely loves it. He said he is very impressed with its performance, it runs all his games, including online on Steam and video editing software seamlessly. He says he can play games like Teardown without lagging, which is a mark of great performance in itself, as Teardown is a physics based simulation game which tends to get extremely laggy when there is not enough processing power.The PC arrived well packed, was super easy to set up with windows pre installed, it was ready to go within few minutes.Wi-Fi connection is fast and stable, we didn’t even need to use the Ethernet connection cable.We also like the glass box design, looks really cool.More importantly, everything is installed neatly, no loose cables or wobbling parts and all ports feel secure.We feel this was a very good purchase and good value for money.

Received this PC early, I guess they pad out the delivery schedule on case they have a problem building the PC.Physically the PC was everything I expected for the money, it's in a normal bog standard case. The packaging for the motherboard was enclosed, along with an IDE cable which obviously wasn't needed in the build, but most probably was included from the motherboard manufacturer. A Windows 10 OEM disk is included.The motherboard with the PC that I ordered was a Gigabyte 78MT-USB3 a Micro ATX sized board. I'm not planning on building some kind of monster gaming rig in future so I won't be write too much about the motherboard, you can google up on the motherboard! I will say here that it comes with one 1 PCI Express slot and one PCI slot - so it could still be turned into a great gaming machine, but you should bear in mind that this PC is supplied with a 400 watt power supply before you rush out and buy a £250 GFX card!I bought this PC to replace and old system which has died and I was sick of trying to do everything on a 2 1/2 year old laptop.I'm a web developer and I need to be able to run virtual machines which are running development web servers etc. On top of the additional spec, I bought separately an SSD hard disk. When the PC arrived, I did NOT bother to boot up the pre-installed Windows 10 !! I simply opened the PC up and fitted my SSD drive...there was a small space above the 2TB hard disk, that an SSD can be left to rest, but there is a space to fit it properly..there is 2 screw mountings underneath the 2TB hard disk...it would only hold the SSD in on one side, but it doesn't matter because an SSD weighs next to nothing and because there are no moving parts, there would be no physical strain. The only reason why I haven't fitted it to where it should be, is because I don't have the screws.If you plan to install additional hard disks, ensure that you have the SATA cables and the power converters....there are no spare SATA cables supplied..an ATX to SATA power cable is also needed for additional hard drives..they only cost £3 or £4 from Amazon or your local PC store.I found that all the additional power and hard disk cabling that wasn't being used in the default spec, was tucked away on the right hand side of the PC...you have to open up the right hand side of the PC to untie it.Performance. Please bear in mind that I've installed an SSD hard disk....but even so, without the SSD the machine is fast.....Opening up applications such as Word, Excel & Access takes less than 2 seconds! With 8 cores and 32GB I could keep on and on chucking stuff at this machine and it would lap it all up! It's quite satisfying to click on a whole load of different apps to still find the one you opened last still just fires up and opens up instantly.An 8 core 32GB machine for £602 (£620ish with delivery) is a bargain....buy an SSD to clear an important bottle neck, even a 128GB one can be picked up for about £50, but a for £70 a 240GB would do for a long while for just Windows and programs....leaving you with your data on the 2TB hard disk. I can't stress enough how important it is to get an SSD...although many would be happy without it, I think it would be a shame to have such a fast PC held up by a conventional hard disk.Whether I needed an 8 core machine, remains to be seen. I was quite happy with 4 on my previous desktop computer, which was AMD Phenom II based.The PC is quiet enough...because I'm not using for games, I have AMD's "cool and quiet" set in the BIOS....even when the the PC is doing a lot the fan doesn't seem to make much noise.I'm glad I bought this PC. Time will tell how long it lasts, but as long as it doesn't die on me, I'll be using it...which brings me on to warranty.Vibox are offering unlimited warranties on this PC (And most probably others). Personally, I don't think that is sustainable and I can see them dropping that in future - just my opinion. It's great that they offer unlimited warranty mind.If you're on the lookup for a PC to non-graphic intensive work, this is great workhorse. Even if you need to running intensive graphics, with a bit of research as to which GFX cards you can install....this still might be the PC for you.It's certainly the right PC for me, I absolutely love it!

Fast pc and overall good package. Easy to set up and you are good to go. Tower, keyboard and mouse impressive. Would like to have had speakers rather than a headset and have Norton for a year rather than 30 days. Pleased with it and looks great.

I picked this as an upgrade for my very old gaming PC which was struggling a bit with the more demanding VR games I was trying to play on my Quest 2. I am absolutely delighted with my choice, it is running all the VR games perfectly and there is a massive difference in the games I was able to play on my old machine. I’m not that tech savvy to give a lot of complex performance specs but I am playing No Man’s Sky VR and Half Life Alyx VR using the Oculus Air Link without any issue and both look great. The PC looks good too, I don’t like flashy led lights, so I picked the simplest looking case and as you can adjust the LEDs I was able to pick something subtle from a range of colour choices and flashing patterns, though it did take me a while to work out how to do that, the button the case labelled LED wasn’t obvious enough for me!!. The customer service is very good too, I had a minor issue as the Wifi dongle was missing but that was immediately resolved so I am more than happy with the service I received.

Perfect for gaming and as a normal PC.Customer service was excellent too when I had a few questions.
