Opening up the side and removing the packaging, we can see how neatly arranged the system is with a dark theme throughout.
Novatech have chosen the Gigabyte Z390 I Aorus Pro WiFi Mini-ITX motherboard as a basis for the VIPER MKII, a tiny motherboard that packs quite a punch.
Under the NZXT Kraken M22 all-in-one watercooler is an Intel Core i7 9700K with a base clock of 3.6GHz and Turbo frequencies of up to 4.9GHz for excellent gaming performance. The Kraken M22 cooler operates with a single 120mm fan and radiator, mounted on the front of the case to draw in cool air.
To the right of the CPU, providing plenty of capacity for games or demanding applications is a 2x 8GB set of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 memory clocked at 3200MHz.
Below that is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card from Gigabyte, sporting 2304 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 memory and, of course, supporting the latest real-time ray-tracing and DLSS standards from NVIDIA for improved gameplay and graphics in the latest titles.
The Gigabyte RTX 2070 rocks a triple-fan cooler and full-length backplate to keep things cool and quiet during lengthy gaming sessions. Novatech have neatly wrapped up the PCI-E supplementary power.
For the first time in a long while, we see a machine with an all-SSD approach to storage. You won’t find spinning media in here which means quick access to your entire library, regardless of which drive you save to. There’s a 250GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe drive for the operating system and your most used applications with a 2TB Samsung 860 QVO SATA SSD for larger capacity storage.
Finally, removing the case side from behind the motherboard, the cable routing can be inspected. It’s very reasonable and allows the panel to removed easily.
Perhaps a little overkill for the build, particularly with there being no way of adding a second GPU, there’s a Corsair RM 750x 80PLUS Gold rated power supply to feed all of those components. The Gold rating is nice and will help to save money on your bills over time with the increased efficiency.
