Skytech's Chronos 0136 pre-built gaming PC is in our lab for benchmark and review. We're still looking for the best prebuilt gaming PCs, and this one is in the running as a better one.

The Skytech Chronos 0136 is actually good -- or mostly good -- and stands apart as one of the best two pre-built gaming PCs from 2021 that we've reviewed so far. We've only managed to find two pre-built gaming PCs that are worth it: One was the ABS Challenger ALI521, and the other is this Skytech system. "Worth," of course, is somewhat relative -- value is still a little rough in this market, but it is built mostly competently and does reasonably well in benchmarking. There are some faults, like a broken component, but it's better off than the iBUYPOWER, CyberPower, Dell, and Alienware systems we've reviewed. This lands in our round-up of the best $2000 (or so) gaming PCs.

I bought a Skytech build a couple years ago in an inwin 303 case. The main NVMe drive died and with very little questions they sent me a replacement, with twice the capacity of the failed drive, which I've been using since. I definitely can't complain about their service, at least not from when I had experience with them.

Before I have even watch the video, I bought one of these back in December of 2020 while the GPU situation was bad, but not like it got later. I paid 1499 from Monoprice with an RTX 3070 and Ryzen 3700x. It has been nothing but awesome since I got it, not a single issue and has ran reliably since opening it. I made a video on my channel about it and the person that built it and signed off on the QC sheet actually commented on the video, and has replied to everyone that replied to her as well. Ok, on to the video now. Edit: about the glass panel, there is a cutout on the bottom that you can grab the glass with and pull it out, took me a minute to figure it out, but I didn't feel the need to let the glass fall off like that, you can literally see the cut out at 8:38 right under the corner of the PSU cutout, little dramatic guys.

Ya I got the same model you did. It has been great pc, no problems at all with it. I think the price of 1,500$ was fine. If you built the pc yourself you would be honestly at the same price point. You basically saved like 250$ not building it yourself. But you also would lose that time it takes to build the pc and install everything. So you save hours of work and time going out and getting each party for the pc or searching for those parts.

outside of that case (which i own one of the same base model, not the mesh front, and yes, it's not great at all haha) it's a pretty decent rig. 5600x for straight games is excellent, 6800 same, very solid card. and it isnt a crap motherboard. if you had a nice box, say an 011 or a meshify or something, toss the guts here in, and youd have one helluva nice system overall. for only a few more bucks, add a water cooler and maybe swap the PSU to something like a seasonic (for safety and longevity) and you could rock it for several years without needing upgrades

I installed another 16 gb of ram cause it only came with 16 and it works fine. It came with a 750w 80 plus platinum from cooler master. The motherboard, graphics card aio and case are all proprietary and the bios was janky. I didn't try to overclock it. I was running Cyberpunk on Ultra on my 3440 x 1440 and it was playable fps wise. With raytracing and without DLSS it ran below 30fps though. It doesn't play modded minecraft with RT shaders the best either but I think that's with everybody. The only other thing that sucks is it comes with only one fan on the front. I just take the side panel off while I'm doing anything really demanding so the jet engine mode on the cpu cooler doesn't turn on so much.

Very happy to see this review. Makes me feel better about buying one from Newegg a couple of weeks ago. My case and hardware are slightly different. The TG panel on mine functions like a standard PC slideout panel, no irritating thumb screws. CPU on mine is a 3700x and it's liquid cooled. GPU is an RTX 3070. Price point was the same. Happy with it so far, but still have some 'surgery' to do. I'm not really a PC builder, so hopefully I won't screw it up too badly. Edit: Mine also came with no quick start guide in the box. No real biggie as it's mostly a case/build guide in eight languages. Wish they had included a list of the actual parts they put in.

I get Gamer’s Nexus perspective - MSRP is the price you should be paying. But no one can find parts at that price. The 6600xt sold out in seconds this morning. And it is on eBay for double MSRP if you can find one. So… yeah, limp along with what you have until the market levels. If I was a SI and had a stock of parts, I’d charge scalper prices for a system too. Selling it for reasonable would be just leading to my systems ending up in a dumpster with the GPU and CPU pulled out.

I remember my first PC which was a chillblast (a UK based SI) prebuilt i7-950 on an ASUS P6X58D-E mobo inside a cooler master elite 430. It had a Radeon HD6870 1GB card. It was a good little computer for 2009 and it gave me plenty of fun tinkering with it, upgrading it, cutting my pc owning teeth on it. By the time I started my own builds in 2015, I felt like the prebuilt had opened the door for me into a bigger world. So prebuilts can lead to good things, especially those SI prebuilts.

But I'm not sure if the motherboard in the hoard was our first board or not. ... I guess the point is there's room for things to go wrong both directions.

Problem is the reccomendations or avoids only really apply to the US market where pre-builts are much more common and are usually from large concerns. Here in the UK aside from Dell and HP most pre-builts are from small companies often one man setups and the problems are magnified ; main problem in the UK is rip off prices.

I like Skytech, their PC's are good from what I've seen, I remember hearing that they shipped PC's with 1 stick of ram but from what I know they learned that people don't want that. Also I got a good PC on sale, so I would say wait for a sale because some of the PC's go for real cheap compared to the base price, my PC got a good 200-400 dollars cutoff it's base price and it was more affordable than building one at the time, really the only complaints I have is space for extra HDDs (or at least a better mount for extra ones since you theoretically could) and a better RGB controller cause I want my favorite colors on my entire set up. (Oh and I guess my motherboard could be better but honestly for a midtier rig like mine it services me just fine, typical b450, I'm not really an overclocker).

I'm pretty impressed. The ram was dual channel and had the XMP on. The cables were pretty well managed, and none of them had come unplugged. Well packed with no shipping damage. No bloatware installed. The only thing negative is the motherboard IO didn't perfectly line up with the IO shield but it was usable with just a little finagling.

I'd love to see you guys test what Puget Systems put together. Mostly pitched as workstation grade, but considering that systems start at RTX 3080 it'd be interesting to see how it compares to consumer PCs. Costs a pretty penny though.

I realize this is months late, but I'll throw in my two cents from a system I bought many years ago when I didn't want to build it myself. I wanted a quiet system, and it was just that. Very well insulated with acceptable temps. Certainly the most silent PC I've owned. Build quality was great. Cable management was invisible, but tight and a pain to work on later, but I think that was the nature of the case. Worked flawlessly out of the box and I never had issues. IIRC it came with a binder of documentation for all parts and the build process with names of anyone involved in the build for each step, along with testing scores for the final build. I believe I called and speced it out with one of their techs, telling him what I wanted. He was obviously knowledgeable and helped me through some of my indecisiveness. He emailed a quote with listed parts, and sent further emails through the build process. Communication was great. I don't know if they still take all of these extra steps. You pay a premium for it, but they had what I was looking for and delivered. Could have been done cheaper, but I didn't regret it. If on a tighter budget, I would have looked elsewhere.
