Awesome
Awesome PC. Fast! Powerful! Does everything I need it to do.

Others bought power, I bought disappointment.
TL:DR – Y60 arrived with broken parts, Amazon rep said one thing, IBP Rep said another, RMA was denied for broken parts, shipped system back, stuck waiting for refund.The Y60 arrived late and was delivered by USPS oddly, the shipping box seemed alright but after taking the Y60 out of the shipping box the system box had a large dent/gash in it which immediately was concerning.Unpacking the Y60 everything looked pristine in quality, but there was an odd expanded foam cushion pressed against the 4070 TI Super, when it was removed the 4070 was more diagonal that sitting flush in the port.Ended up having to use the motherboards HDMI port to get a display(for obvious reasons), and the liquid cooling unit continued to make rather strange noises. Figuring the system just needed the 4070 drivers I downloaded the needed drivers only for the installer to show that there was no Nvidia card present which got me to look at the graphics card.That’s when I saw the broken HYTE PCIe extension port, the cracked and bent PCB of the 4070. This was also the same time that I realized the motherboard was Micro ATX and not full ATX and due to the cases size I was unable to plug the 4070 into the reinforced PCIe slot on the mother board.Contacted Amazon about the situation and that I wanted to reach out to the manufacturer about getting a replacement unit or replacement parts and was told by the Amazon rep that they would more than likely replace the unit and allow me to keep the broken one.But after speaking with the IBuyPower rep I was initially told they would RMA the 4070 and the HYTE expansion port, only for them to 180 that decision and tell me they wouldn’t RMA anything and that I need to speak to Amazon about a solution to the issue because the damage was caused by handling in the shipping and not on IBUYPOWER’s end of things.Speaking again to a different Amazon Rep I was told the only two options I had were to send back the system and get a full refund or keep the broken system and take a partial refund. Later found out that the partial refund I would receive was not enough to even cover the cost of a new 4070, so I ended up taking the full refund option.The final issue was that the full refund wont be processed until around Dec 14th, so in the mean time I’m just out 2k+ for a pc the manufacturer refused to RMA.

Slate 5 MR 281a: Impressive
This is ONLY for model 281a.Just got the box, not powered up yet. Planning to run Linux; need to move a bunch of drives from existing box.Case is excellent – very clean and super accessible. Four 120mm fans (3 front + 1 rear). Space for more fans under removable top panel. Dust filters behind the front panel (magnetically attached) and under the top one. Two SSD mounts next to MB (attach with screws from the other side, behind the right panel – see pic). Two more behind the right-hand panel above the PS. (remove the insert labelled “HDD” (why? is there a way to add another HDD?) – one screw – to attach SSDs). Also on this side at the bottom near the front is removable HDD cage (one thumbscrew) that will hold two HDDs. Lots of SATA power cables hidden in compartment between the PS and HDD cage – remove gently, they are a bit tangled. Also an AMP connector or two and a fan connector. Nice openings for routing cables between case sides. Likely can mount a cage for more drives instead of the SSDs on the left. No extra screws provided – get your own 6/32″ (for HDDs) and M3 (for SSDs).Motherboard is ASUS Prime B550-Plus AC-HES (docs on ASUS website). Two sticks of T-Force DDR4 3200 (2x8GB) populated, two slots available. Graphics card is Gigabyte GA N3060Eagle Rev 2. 6 SATA connectors on lower right (5 & 6 are shared with the second M.2 on MB). Two SATA data cables were providedBiggest complaint: no documentation or detailed specs seem to be available – I had to figure out the above on my own.
