I had the original made by razor and it was larger. This one is a bit small and I use it when I go to family/friends gaming night. The two sides do work as advertised.

Mine started to lift from the bottom left. Considering the edges of the phone it was bound to happen. Had to remove it due to being unable to use the touch screen (typing). If you are very delicate with your phone, it's great.

This computer is great. My old machine couldn’t handle the new GTX 6GB 1060 video card I bought to replace my old GTX 960, hence time for an upgrade. To note while reading this, I am an extreme power user and I don’t fit into any normal model for a typical or power user.
This PC has: -ASUS Prime H270-Plus Motherboard -Standard OEM Intel CPU cooler -Adata 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Memory sticks -Adata 2.5” 120GB SSD -1TB WD Blue 3.5” Drive -Internal corded USB wireless dongle -600 Watt power supply (I don’t recall the brand, given away already) -Corded gaming keyboard and simple corded 4 button gaming mouse -Case with remote LED lights and thick tinted glass sides -1 red LED case fan (located in the rear of the case) -Windows 10 CD, Motherboard CD (drivers, Daemon Tools Pro, and some other utilities) & printed motherboard manual
IMPORTANT -- After you take this out of the box and before you put this computer where you want it to be scratch off the covered part of the Windows 10 Key located on the sticker located on the back of the case and take a picture of it so that you can register Windows 10 without bending over backwards to get to it later. Also take a picture of the iBUYPOWER serial number to register the computer itself.
There is a warning sticker on both of the glass sides that are a pain to remove but easy to clean up. You will want some alcohol pads or alcohol and rags to clean the residue once you get them off.
It was a simple bootup. I registered Windows 10 and did windows updates to make sure everything was working.
The wireless dongle detected my connections, and the wired connection performed well. My router is an ASUS AC3100. So, your mileage will vary according to what hardware you have for your network.
Standard 2 piece speakers will work without problems but if you have 5/7.1 speakers, you will want to upgrade the sound card drivers. I had an external USB DVD drive and installed the ones from the motherboard driver disk, or you can get them from the ASUS website if you want to download and install that way.
That was all I had to do to get up and running and hopefully that’s all you need or want to do.
I did not use the keyboard, mouse, internal wireless dongle, or graphics card to any extent at all. I booted it up to ensure all was working as it was supposed to as I immediately changed parts out after the initial setup.
If you do not plan on adding or upgrading this machine after you get this machine home, scroll down for the quick pros and cons. If you do plan on adding more internal HDD’s/SSD’s/M.2’s case fans etc..., read on.
I replaced the stock SSD, HDD, Graphics Card, power supply, and LED fan.
The motherboard only supports 3 case fans, so if you want to add more you will need to add a fan controller with added case fan connections. The case has places for 3 front, 1 bottom front. 1 top back and 2 (if I recall) top fans. Behind the front of the case has a magnetic screen mesh filter to use with the fans. The bottom fan has a wire mesh held in with metal tabs as well.
Removing the front of the case is a little bit of a pain at first, but easy enough once you figure it out. The front is mounted with the round type of tabs and not the simple push in with finger type tabs.
The LED’s on the front of the case can be easily disabled by simply unplugging them and is not controlled with the LED remote. The internal LEDs are controlled with an internal wireless receiver connected to the power supply and LED strip. The LED strip is thin and small LED’s. Better than some others I have seen in other brands cases at best buy. The receiver in mine was mounted near the top front, hard to get to work with the remote. I moved mine to the right side of the case near the mid so that it could be more easily seen by the remote. The remotes distance is short though. I don’t know if this is because of the remote, the receiver, or the tinted glass on the case.
I removed the wireless internet USB receiver simply because I don’t use wireless for this machine. Just removed the tie down and pulled it out of the internal USB port.
Mounting HDD’s/SSD’s/M.2’s is easy. They are mounted on metal plates and then slid into tabs and held in with the thumb screws, while the M.2’s is mounted on the motherboard. M.2_1 is between the graphics card and CPU next to the memory slots, M.2_2 is below the second PCIe X16 slot. Make sure you have mounting screws, otherwise they will be flapping around in there.
IMPORTANT -- when using M.2’s. if M.2_1 is used SATA_1 is disabled. If M.2_2 is used SATA_6 is disabled. Also, M.2_1 is 32Gbs and M.2_2 is 16Gbs. This is standard configuration right now for most motherboards but should be noted as you don’t want to put a Samsung 960 pro M.2 into slot 2.
The only reason I replaced the power supply is because the stock power supply power connectors would not reach both 3.5” HDD’s mounted in the case. The case mounts the HDD’s vertical, one above the other and the power connectors would not reach. It is mainly an issue with the case and not the power supply because if the HDD's were mounted like a typical case does, it would not be an issue, but to fix the issue I had to replace the power supply.
The power supply is removed from the back of the case as the case keeps the extra cables and power supply hidden well. There is plenty of room on the right side/behind the mother board, to route and strap cables to and from components.
It is a nice case, easy to work with and a descent motherboard. For someone like me, I should have custom built instead of pre-built like I usually do. This is only my second pre-built PC out of at least 10 I have had personally over the last 25 years.
For the everyday person or standard power user, this will work great and are getting what you pay for. This should cover 99% of every person that will buy a computer from Best Buy and allow them to do what they want. If you are an extreme power user like myself, I would recommend building instead because the price will skyrocket quickly replacing and adding the pieces and parts you would personally prefer.
If I were a standard or power user, I would add a larger SSD (at least 500GB) and an external drive for backups/rarely used data and I would be done with having to worry about anything with this PC.
My final changes and setup is: Liteon 128GB M.2 SSD (For Operating System) Samsung EVO 500 GB SSD (For Programs & Games) Sandisk 240GB SSD (Extra drive from my old PC) 2-WD Blue 2TB 3.5" HDD in Raid 0 (For Data) 2-4TB External USB 3.0 WD HDD's (Backup and Backup's Backup) 3-Cougar variable 120mm case fans EVGA 6GB GTX 1060 Corsair 850 Watt Power Supply Black Widow V2 Chroma keyboard Logitech G900 Wireless Mouse Logitech G533 Wireless Headset 2-27" Samsung Curved Monitors 1-27" Samsung Flat Monitor
Pro’s -No real bloatware except for Microsoft’s standard trying to take over the world software -Easy to setup -Simple, Elegant, Aesthetic case. Inside and outside -Easy to upgrade/add components (see below)
Con’s -Sound card drivers must be updated if you want/need 5/7.1 sound -Can’t add a second mechanical 3.5” HDD without replacing the power supply (knocked a star for this one) -LED remote has a very short distance and the LED receiver is in a bad position. The remote must be pointed directly at it to work -Won’t cook me breakfast, make me lunch, dinner or even a snack, biggest let down!
Does anyone know if the texture of this mouse pad is like the discontinued Rocketfish double sided speed/control pad from way back? I've had the rocketfish one since about 2007 and its gotten worn down and I want to replace it.

Can Linux Mint be installed on this computer. I would prefer Linux over Windows, especially version 10.
This may be better asked on some Linux forums. This would be overkill for Linux unless you are running a dozen servers at the same time.

Does this system come with the stock cooler or an after market cooler for the cpu?
Stock CPU cooler. It works well. I have thought about upgrading it but there seems to be no need once I added 2 front case fans and upgraded the rear case fan.
