I just picked this up at my local best buy. They had in stock and ready to go, I also picked up an additional 2 TB hard drive as this one only had the 1 TB SSD installed. When I got it home it was well packed and secured. It also included a gamers keyboard and mouse. As I already have a higher end Keyboard and Mouse I will be using those instead. It was easy to find and install the 3.5 inch hard drive mount on the non glass side of the unit. Note: I also had to buy a SATA cable with hard drive not included. The 2TB hard drive was easy to mount but the SATA cable was a little difficult to plug in because of the location of the port but I was able to get it installed. I would have given a 5 star if not for the sloppy cable management under the metal cover. All the wires were loose and just haphazardly stuffed in. I had to untangle them and locate my plugs and had a difficult time closing up the case because of this.
I am having problems getting my serial numbers off off the Video card which appears to be an ASUS card to submit for warranty information and will probably need to take it out.
Other than that it was well packaged and once my new HD was installed it fired right up. The RGB case lights are nice. The computer went through start up no problem and appears to be running pretty quickly. Due to my location and internet service I cannot fully review its gaming speeds as I am currently downloading all my games.
I am running Dual monitors and they were easy to connect and were easily recognized by the video card.
One other thing I need to confirm and verify is online it stated it came with Battlefield 5, Anthem and Call of Duty Black Ops 4 digital download bundles free with purchase of qualifying RTX 2080 cards. I expected to find digital download cards in the packaging but there were none, I do not know if this is an I buypower promotion, Nvidia Graphics card promotion or a best buy promotion it does not clearly state how to claim. I will be following up with best buy on my next visit.
I am excited and looking forward to running and testing this system.

Other than the long 8 hr set time stated in instructions I set this to the plastic of my vehicles dashboard. It holds a Samsung Galaxy S7 with no issues, it is stable and secure. Does what it states. Also comes with spare adhesive disc in case you want to move.

Game update

If your trying to redeem Battlefield 5 and Anthem, the redeem codes should have been on the bottom of the computer purchase receipt, I had to contact Best buy support because mine did not have it. Best buy contacted me the next day with the redemption codes. You will need to download GeForce experience from invidia.com and have an original account to download. Hope this helps anyone having difficulties.
Thanks Best buy customer support for all your assistance.

Is there room for another 2080 graphics card?

Looks like you can fit a second one below the first but it would be tight, I would also add more case fans.

Hi, Does this computer have the 2080, or 2080ti? I'm confused because on the specs it says 11gb of memory for the graphic card. Thanks!

Mine had an Asus rtx 2080 8gb with dual fans.

So, just wondering, what kind of motherboard it has, and what is the power supply, also what version of the 2080.

Mine is an Asus z370 mb, 600watt ps and an Asus rtx 2080 8gb dual fan video card.

Does it have Bluetooth because it said no in the specification? And at this price point, not having one seems a bit odd.

Yes it's built in with the wifi, sales rep told me it didn't have Bluetooth also. Thought it was weird also.

I did not see in the specs that max RAM capacity and the slot configuration. It is 4 slots with 2 being used for the 16gb? I would want to bump it to 32 or maybe 64.

Will need to look up motherboard spec for max amount of ram supported, I am currently running 4 sticks of 8gb 3000 ddr4 with no issues.

Is there room for an extra hard drive

Yes there are 2 spots under the right slide off metal cover. Think they are 2.5" drive spots and you can add another SSD under the video card. There are extra power plugs behind that cover also.

Does this come with WiFi + Bluetooth? If so, is it a USB WiFi adapter or is it built into the MB?

I asked the sales rep and he said it didn't have Bluetooth, yet when I hooked it up and went into settings it did have Bluetooth and I hooked it up to my wireless Bose headset with no issues. I believe it is incorporated on the wifi.

What i7 processor is this? Doesn't specify.

The one I got with this model number was an I7-8700k 3.7ghz.

Where are the SATA connections on this computer / motherboard? How many SATA connections are unused? Are extra hard drive power cables available or do I need a splitter?

I found my data connectors on the right bottom edge almost behind the rtx graphics card, was a tight fit.
