So, looks like NZXT are looking to rip off gamers with their computer "subscription" service.

I glanced at their site earlier (but after posting this comment) and it starts at $59/mo for a budget system with a 10th gen i5 and an RTX3050 so probably a $500ish PC when DIYed. And they have about a half dozen tiers above that up to the top $259/mo which is probably a $3000 PC if the parts were current. It's still a bad deal no matter how you slice it though
