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 what co...
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...

Compact, yet has solid connectivity, Most hardware is easy to remove, Excellent performance results, Good performance value
Boring design, Not much room for future upgrades
