Corsair Vengeance Gaming PC 6182

The Vengeance boasts a fairly unique and quite attractive design. It's much more squat and square than the usual tower, trading a good bit of height and depth for almost double the width. Specifically, it's a microATX build that measures 13.8 by 10.9 by 15.7 inches.

The Vengeance is not the only desktop with a squarish shape, but the visual design goes a long way to making it stand out. The front panel reveals two LED-ringed fans. The case is split unevenly into a larger glass portion that wraps around the front, top, and left panel and a vented black aluminum right side.

The right panel is admittedly less glamorous. Two rear thumbscrews let you pull the door away, revealing a power supply, the back of the hard drive, and a prominent if nicely tied nest of cables.

Internal access is extremely easy despite the case's dual sections and internal partition. Removing four thumbscrews lets you to pull the left-side glass away from the case, accessing the motherboard, CPU, graphics card, and RAM. The hard drive and power supply are relegated to the other portion of the case.

It's all AMD for the processor and graphics card, which is far less common than the usual marriage of Intel and Nvidia we see. The CPU is the eight-core Ryzen 7 3700X, while the GPU is an 8GB Radeon RX 5700 XT, teamed with 16GB of system memory, a 1TB NVMe solid-state drive, and a 2TB hard drive.

There's a Corsair liquid CPU cooler installed, and both it and the RAM are naturally outfitted with RGB lighting of their own.

This desktop may be somewhat more compact than most, but that doesn't mean it skimps on ports. There are two USB 3.1 ports on the top panel, next to the audio jacks and power button, with many more located around back.

There, you'll find five USB 3.1 Type-A ports, a USB-C port, and an Ethernet jack. There are also HDMI and DisplayPort connectors on the motherboard, in addition to the one HDMI port and three DisplayPorts on the graphics card.
