What a beast....
By Mark Hayward
Its not an easy job deciding which desktop system to purchase these days, i was looking to replace an old and somewhat reliable cyberpower system (more on that later) i looked at all the major players for gaming desktops, Cyberpower, Alienware, HP, Zoostorm, and Chillblast and was very tempted to go the cyberpower route again, but my old Cyber PC was never quite right, it had to go back when it's raid configuration crashed and it suffered a dead PCI slot so i decided to go another route, i had never heard of Benthir Shop before but impressed with the reviews and specs/price i decided to go for a i7 quad core teamed with a GTX560 ti card with 8GB Ram, i wanted a larger power unit (850W) and dealing with Benthir to obtain a new price was fast, courteous and efficient.Less than a week later it arrived, so this a review of this Behemoth based on early opinions and i have not had a chance to REALLY push it yet.PROS - Fast...and i mean really SERIOUSLY fast...but with that set up you would expect it to be, more than sufficient for all current games and fairly future proofed. Eerily quiet, even with 3 fans going full tilt it is virtually inaudible. Quality components, mine came with a P8h57-m PRO Motherboard, 4 memory slots and expandable up to 32GB, 8 GB of nice RAM, a fast 1TB drive and other goodies Clean install.....what a blessed relief, no bloatware on this beast what so ever Value for money, mine, with a 850w power unit was a shade over 800 bucks, if i had gone the cyberpower route it would have meant spending another 200, and that is value for money in my book. This is perhaps a personal opinion, but i like the fact that Benthir send you all the packaging, spares etc so you can see that they have used quality parts.But however there are a few minus points that stopped it getting a 5 star reviewCONS - Case, they have used a Hornet NG case for their range and while it is a good sturdy bit of kit it looks (to my eyes anyway) cheap and frankly tacky....the reason for this is what is NOT shown on Amazon because they use an empty case for the picture, what you dont see is a cheap looking plastic panel on the front which is brightly illuminated and reads High Performance System, this is ALWAYS on and just ruins the whole look, below that there is another cheap tacky piece of plastic which says status and flashes intermittently, there is NO REASON for these bits of tat to be there, if i had known i would have asked benthir to use a different case. Oh and those fans which look quite cool and restrained in the photo, they light up VERY brightly indeed, i know its a personal thing but i would have expected more taste in a 800 pound system, and if you were wondering what that flashing status light MEANS well good luck finding out because Benthir supply no documentation at all which brings me onto... Communication/Documentation - Not overly communicative the Benthir boys, one of the things i enjoyed about Cyberpower and before them Evesham was the "welcome pack" thanks for buying from us, this goes here, this goes there, put this in first etc, with Benthir you get nothing, well that's not strictly true, i did receive a short letter in German basically a receipt, whilst not a problem for old PC lags like me, for someone starting out just getting a black box and few boxes of bits may be a bit daunting, you do very much get the idea that Benthir are just PC Builders and not really interested in the whole warm and fuzzy approach but that's ok and the communication i have had has been fast and efficient. Wireless Dongle - Oh come on Benthir a high performance gaming system and no wireless card installed...this will be my first upgrade, the dongle will get you connected with little fuss but it's really not good enough for online gaming, but then again i would much rather have quality core components which Benthir does deliver. Power Supply - Yep you will have to shell out a fiver for a kettle power supply, this seems an odd omission to me could so easily have been thrown in. Wiring - Now i haven't bought a PC for few years but i remember my Cyberpower having immaculate internal wiring, when i took the side off the Behemoth i was frankly appalled by the mess of wiring which Benthir had crammed into the case, there was feet of it, all tied with a very insubstantial cable tie, no documentation for what it is, what it's used for etc and it's going to makeany upgrading difficult because everything is so cramped, now if you are never going to take the case apart then this isnt going to matter too much, but for those of us who enjoy tweaking their systems this is a serious fault, if they had used a slightly larger case (the Hornet is 420mm tall) then this problem could have been alleviated but as is....well just not acceptable frankly, i had serious thought about sending it back.BUT....and it's a big but, it works, very VERY well, it's fast well specced, well priced with quality components, the 3 case fans, 1 processor fan and the heat sinks on the video card all contribute to super cool running and the case does offer the option of water cooling in the future, and if having a machine this good means i have to live with untidy internals and a chavtastic case then so be it, but i AM going to take a screwdriver to that damn cheap tacky sign.
