Can this GTX 1660 Super gaming and eSports PC undercut pricier competition?
The PC Specialist Sabre MK1 is one of the most affordable gaming rigs on the market right now. Go much cheaper than this and the specification will start making too much compromise to be worthwhile.
The desktop builder undercut its closest rivals at the checkout, but can it keep up the quality and performance levels?
Design & Build
PC Specialist has built this system around its own Wraith chassis. It’s a good-looking bit of kit: the meshed plastic front panel looks smart and contains three intake fans with bright RGB LEDs.
This chassis has top- and bottom-mounted dust filters and a single USB 3.0 port on the roof alongside two slower USB 2.0 ports.
The Wraith has a tempered glass window that swings open smoothly and sits on hinges for easy removal, and the front panel is magnetic, so it’s easy to remove.
On the inside, the Wraith is basic but serviceable. There’s plenty of space, which makes building and modifying easier, and PC Specialist has done a great job keeping cables neat around the front and at the rear. You get room for a spare 2.5in drive, but sadly there’s no 3.5in hard disk bay.
The biggest issue is build quality. That mesh front panel and the top panel are both sturdy, and the glass side window is rigid. However, the rear side panel is weaker and the internal PSU shroud is flimsy – and the case also has some sharp edges and corners, so you’ll need to be careful.
The Kolink chassis used by Chillblast is undoubtedly stronger, and with more room for storage space. AlphaBeta’s bespoke case is sturdier, with better USB connectivity and more upgrade room.
