MSI Aegis Ti5 12th

An OTT design and OTT performance, is this a winning combo for MSI?

AT FIRST GLANCE, you could easily mistake this piece of sci-fi tech as something from Ridley Scott’s Alien. Looks aside, this allin-one PC by MSI has plenty of interesting points and has the power below the case to match the crazy chassis. However, with its rather hefty price tag, is this all-in-one worth the extra bucks over a similarly-priced DIY custom machine?

The Aegis Ti5 is a statement piece that could pass as an intergalactic battleship or a cyborg helmet. But while this is clearly a product aimed at gamers, the Ti5’s spec sheet is more like that of a productivity PC. So, is MSI limiting its potential market by wrapping a powerful PC up in such an outlandish aesthetic?
