Petite Yet Powerful, Excellent Thermals, Custom Chassis
High CPU/GPU Overclock Pricing, Cramped Interior
The Origin PC Chronos is a tiny box with some serious gaming horsepower under the hood, achieving top-tier gaming performance at the highest settings and resolutions with an overclocked Intel Core i7-7700K processor and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics ca...

Sleek, living-room-friendly design, Fairly upgradable, Great overall performance, Lots of customization options
Some of the better add-ons are pricey
The Origin Chronos delivers excellent gaming performance in a compact chassis while making very few compromises. The system's console-shaped design makes it ideal for the living room, while its support for AMD Ryzen 7 processors and Nvidia's highest-end G...
Superb gaming performance at and up to 4K resolution, Attractive design, Very compact case, considering what was in our test build, Intriguing Evolve parts-upgrade option
Pricey, Fans get loud under load
Bigger is always better? Nah! The latest rev of Origin's pint-size powerhouse Chronos PC can box with the big boys—and flatten more than its share of them. Read More...

Blazing fast gaming performance (capable of playing at 4K resolution), Small footprint with flexible placement options (can stand up or lay flat), Cable management is top notch, especially considering the tight confines, Stable overclock
Constant soft clicking of the WD Black Caviar HDD, Pricey as configured
While not always the case, big things really can come in small packages. Origin PC proves that with its Chronos. At just 4 inches wide and less than 12 inches high, the Chronos barely has a footprint to speak of, though it looms large in performance. Exac...
CPU and GPU fans can become obtrusively loud, Expensive as hell
There are bigger reasons than fan noise to give gamers pause about the Chronos: If the rumors, leaked pictures, and parts on eBay are right, we'll be seeing fresh hardware from Intel, Nvidia and AMD within months. It might be wiser to wait and see wha...
The Origin PC Chronos packs a lot of power into a small, well-designed case. This is one of the most space-efficient ways to get a VR-ready PC, and the company is known for excellent service and support
With high-power components in a small case, the fans can get loud. The expensive configuration tested here has an Nvidia 970 graphics card -- upgrading to the top of the line will cost extra
One of the most premium-feeling (and premium-priced) of the first generation of VR-ready gaming desktops, the Origin PC Chronos is compact but powerful...

Attractive, compact design, Lots of configuration options, Strong gaming and CPU performance
Loud fans, Not easy to upgrade
If you're looking for a compact and powerful gaming PC, it's hard to top the Chronos for sheer options. The desktop's variety of available chassis makes it easy to find a model that will suit your desk or entertainment center, and Origin gives you the fre...

Solid gaming and multimedia performance. 1TB solid-state drive (SSD). Can be used with 4K monitors.
Expensive. Lacks internal expansion room. A little larger than other SFF gaming desktops. Short one-year warranty
The Origin Chronos (X99) is a slightly larger take on the small-form-factor (SFF) gaming desktop. It's packed with the latest technology, and it has the power to drive 4K displays while playing today's game titles...
