A Stellar Gaming Machine
Consumer gaming and 3D performance are being pushed to absurd new heights on the back of Nvidia’s Pascal graphics architecture and Intel’s latest generation of processors. Both of these platforms are on full display in the Origin Neuron, with dual GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards and an over clocked Core i7-7700K processor. These components help the Neuron blow past competitors in our gaming tests; it’s also speedy with productivity pursuits and comes with a huge amount of storage to boot. This configuration is expensive, but for what you get and relative to the Editors’ Choice Digital Storm Velox, the pricing is fair. Given its superior performance and overall execution, the Origin Neuron is our new top pick for high-end gaming desktops.
FORM, FUNCTION, AND MORE
Built into Phanteks’ Enthoo Evolv mATX case, the Neuron is relatively unassuming when you look at it head on. But there’s a lot to like inside, once you start poking around. Its black aluminum frame stands 17.8 by 9 by 15.7 inches (HWD) with tempered glass panels on both flanks. The left side is nearly a full window, while the right is backed with aluminum and has a small cutout window for the SSDs. The case isn’t a small-form-factor design, but it’s on the smaller side for traditional towers. For size comparison, the Velox stands 22.2 inches tall, 9.25 inches wide, and 19.5 inches deep, taking up much more space.
