The front face comes with a partial glass window that gives us a peek of the insides and the three circular lights on the fans. The rest of the face is a nice matte black finish with the logo at the bottom.

The left side is what makes the look of this computer. It has a tempered glass window through which you can see the insides of the desktop in all its glory. There is a lot of RGB lighting going on the insides and it makes up for a good look if you want a flashy desktop. If you don’t want one, then you can configure it according to your style.

The top of the desktop is also distinct in design. It consists of straight-lined fins that give some aesthetic to the top. You’ll also find a couple of USB 3.0 ports, audio in jack and the headphone jack as well. The power button is also located right next to these ports.

The keyboard and the mouse we get are the usual ones we get in a CYBERPOWERPC gaming machine. The keyboard is a nice one to type one and comes with good travel. The WASD and the arrows keys are colored for easy identification. There are extra keys you can customize to your liking. The gaming mouse is also a pretty good one and prevents the need to get a dedicated gaming mouse.
