Looks just like my garbage bin

A GTX 950 for gaming? Say what?! Pathetic to call this a gaming PC.

So the conclusion wasn't too rough?

This is a gaming pc for 10" screens at 180p

Huge fail for Gigabyte. I have their motherboards and I think graphics cards in both my desktops and tell everyone to buy them (especially above ASCrap) but this is one thing I will tell people to stay far away from.

It's been available on Amazon since October 6th and there are no reviews and no questions. (Don't think many are buying it) On Newegg there are two mostly positive reviews, but one notes the loud fan.

I ran Handbrake converting a 5 GB movie to MP4 format to see what this little baby could do and that's when I heard the fan go crazy as I think Handbrake really taxed the CPU's. It was pretty damm loud. Sounded like a jet engine. Just be aware of that.

This part of his review made me laugh...

It comes with a driver disk but as the unit doesn't have a CD/DVD drive

The driver disk is the one that gets me on stuff anymore. Most systems don't run optical drives, yet dam near everything comes with a disk.

My favorite ones are the things that don't come with anything just a note that says to download the newest driver from their site. Sucks if you don't have a way to download it for fresh installs. Guess with Win10 that may not be to crazy, windows could chunk some generic driver in there, but still. lol.
