It’s a machine that comes from a collaboration between Skytech Gaming, Intel, and SignalRGB, and you can enter for a chance to win it.

The giveaway just launched, so you have 45 days to enter for a chance to win the computer on SignalRGB’s website. It’s a Gleam giveaway, so you can rake up more chances to win the PC by following the collaborators on different social platforms.

The PC looks amazing, but it has a lot of interesting functionality, as well. The built-in screen includes various system stats, so you can monitor your performance while using the machine. In addition, indicator lights on the front show your status in-game through the SignalRGB app. The indicator lights are truly unique to Starfield. They show your ship’s stats, and they’ll start blinking red if any of your ship’s systems are damaged.

At the bottom, you’ll find two Elgato Stream Decks built in, along with four control knobs that can control settings light your lighting brightness and volume.

That’s great, but it’s the stunning attention to detail that makes this machine look so great. There’s weathering on the bottom and sides of the machine, giving it a lived-in look that fits perfectly with the aesthetic of Starfield. Even the three front-panel USB ports fit seamlessly into the design of the machine.

It’s plenty powerful, too. Although you should still follow our best settings for Starfieldthe game comes kitted out with an Intel Core i7-13700K, AMD RX 7900 XTX, 32GB of DDR5 memory, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The machine doesn’t have one of AMD’s exclusive Starfield-themed GPUs, but I’ll take this custom PC over one of those GPUs any day.

Although it will be tough to upgrade, you can pull down the screen at the front of the machine to service the internals.

Outside of Starfield, the company also demonstrated the ability to use custom lighting to sync your peripherals together, as well as connect them with other games. Though, let’s be honest, nothing beats the look the PC has when it’s running with Starfield.

How buying the wrong gaming PC can go horribly wrong
A gaming PC on a carpeted floor.

We all have that one PC horror story. Maybe you can laugh about it now, or maybe it's just a lesson learned, but it probably wasn't all too funny at the time when everything broke down.

I have plenty of stories like that, but a few of the worst ones that come to mind are all related to prebuilt PCs. Here are some of the prebuilt disasters I've seen over the years, and what to look out for if you're trying to buy a desktop PC.
It's better to be patient
I'm no custom PC snob, or at least I try not to be, but that doesn't stop me from warning the people in my life when they decide to buy a prebuilt. This is because buying a good prebuilt PC is not as easy as just walking into a store and picking out the first thing that looks decent enough. Much like PC building, buying prebuilts requires a fair bit of research for things to end well.

PC ports need to be better in 2024 — here’s how
A screenshot from Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

I've said it once, and I'll saw it again: 2023 wasn't a great year for PC gaming. We saw some excellent games, but most were marred by poor ports that exhibited performance issues, bugs, and other game-breaking problems. Even at the end of the year, though, things are looking up, and I hope that trend continues into 2024.

Rather than rehashing the performance issues we've seen on PC all year, I want to look forward. Here are the five things I want to see out of PC releases next year.
