Want to set your CPU to its spec settings? Warranty void! Want a PC that runs like it got 2 less cores? But this! This review just further re-enforce the community believe that most performance pre-built are crap.

 
So many terrible design/setup decisions. While they are calling this the worst (thermals/airflow are validly horrendous) I still think I would call the some of the Dell PCs they reviewed worse because of proprietary/custom MOB/case/PSUs.

At least most people understand this before they purchase, plus I think most people that buy prebuilts aren't too concerned about upgrading. Poor thermals is something a lot of people that buy these won't find out about it until they get it home.
 
This is insanely bad for a $5K computer. I'd never buy HP products anyway, at this point it's basically MS Surface or Lenovo as reasonable Windows laptops, but man HP really sucks.

I don't even think the cryochamber is a bad idea, and suspect it could do really well if it was actually optimized a bit, HP just shat the bed.
