HPOMEN 45L Gaming Desktop, 14th Generation Intel Core i7-14700K, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB Solid State Drive, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super Graphics, Windows 11 Pro, GT22-2080 (2024)

So far I really like this machine once I got all the disco lights turned down/off. If rated separately I would give the case 5 stars and the build 4 stars. If you are an absolute gaming fanatic there may be better but as a machine with a ton of CPU cores that can also do well for gaming it is about perfect.Shipped with Windows 11 pro so no upgrade was required to use hyper-v.My use case is mainly running multiple VM's with casual 1080p gaming. The 4080 super is complete overkill and rarely spikes up to 50% utilization but since it has a giant heat sink it runs everything I throw at it without getting hot enough to make noise.Have managed to get the CPU cooler to make some noise but for most use it is quieter than NAS sitting next to it. Achieved my goal of silent unless I had headset on or was walking out of the room because I just started a large build job.Included two tool-less drive carriers for internal 3 1/2 inch SATA drives. Also has two spaces for SATA SSD's but using those would require cables and a power extender. All handy for recycling existing drives but most users would probably just use the second M2 slot.Despite working very well I have a few minor gripes:- !@#$ co-pilot everywhere took hours to turn off. That is a Windows 11 thing...- The power supply is a non-modular design with only 1 external drive power connector. It looks like an open frame in a box and if it has a fan it is on the inside. Seems very quiet which I like.- The system only came with one sata cable. Reddit led me to believe this would be the case but also suggested that right angle connectors would be required. I believe straight would be better.- The extra PCIe slot is unusable without an extender due to the 3X wide graphics card. It is also only pcie 3.0 x4 which means the cheapest used network cards won't work. Z790 Motherboard should have come with 2.5G .- With Windows 11 enabling hyper-V disables overclocking. That is an Intel/Microsoft issue but I was not fully aware.- Ships with DRAM running at 4000 instead of 5200. That can be changed in omen gaming hub even with hyper-v turned on.

This is a great desktop with a few issues. First there was no mouse or keyboard in the box. The only way to get it I would have to send back the entire desktop after waiting nearly a month to get it. Second, there may be issues with the install of the graphics card, all drivers have been updated, but the screen still flickers initially. I am still in the window of returning and may do so.

PC didn't recognize my monitors. Paid $180 for 3 year technical support and they said return it.
