Quiet while gaming
Classy design
Insanely powerful

Extreme performance in a small package, Looks impressive, Can handle anything at 1080p or 1440p
Puts out a lot of heat, Some components difficult to upgrade
The Tiki proves that you don't need a premium plot of real estate for a premium gaming experience and still comes in under the sticker price you'd expect from a machine this luxurious. Yes, the approximately $4,900 price tag is significant, but it's reas...
