This is the Calypso I, the baseline PC in my midrange lineup. It features an RTX 2080 paired with a Ryzen 5 5600X, giving you a good, strong balance of graphical and logical processing power.
Providing the backbone for these parts is 32GB of RAM, a full 1TB of high speed NVMe storage, and a B450 motherboard, all to ensure you have a seamless experience in any professional or gaming workload.
To give the PC some aesthetics, there are 5 aRGB fans controlled by the press of a button, and capable of dozens of different settings, as well as RGB on the RAM with a wide range of customizability. (I personally enjoy the orange and black look)
