Moving our attention to the internals, the first thing to catch your eye is the striking ASUS ROG GeForce RTX 2070 OG8 graphics card; this thing dominates the PC with its 2.5 slot, three-fan heatsink and enormous length.
Under the shroud at the bottom of the case resides a 500w 80+ Bronze rated power supply and a 1TB Western Digital Blue 7200RPM HDD, handy for storing those large games or a few movies, if you’re not into the film streaming yet.
The brushed metal backplate on the GPU looks fantastic but just wait until it’s lit up in its full RGB glory.
Stormforce have done a good job of ensuring a dark theme throughout, using a black TUF Gaming B450-PLUS GAMING motherboard, black HyperX Fury DDR4 and, as luck would have it, the Wraith cooler on the AMD CPU is also black.
Sadly though, that Western Digital Blue 3D NAND SATA M.2 drive stands out like a sore thumb. Obviously, there’s very little Stormforce can do about Western Digital’s choice of PCB colour but it would’ve been nice to see a black PCB here, or even some kind of black heatsink applied.
