While removing and replacing the cooler is easy enough, there isn’t much need to think about swapping out the motherboard or CPU, as doing so is tantamount to building a new PC in the same case. Let’s talk about configurability, post-build. In general, the cooling works phenomenally well, keeping the heat down in almost every circumstance.

Asetek, a company that helps OEMs design their liquid coolers, doesn’t sell its parts directly to consumers, so while it is an off-the-shelf part, it isn’t something you or I would have access to when building at home. No matter what configuration you choose, the Talon is built around its Asetek 680LS liquid cooling system, which, as I mentioned, sits front and center over the CPU.

That said, the space looks smaller than it is because of the PSU shroud, which also helps hide a lot of the cables and keeps a tight focus on the most interesting parts of the system. The memory mirrors the logo on the Asus Crosshair VIII motherboard to create an aesthetically pleasing symmetry.

All the components – two GPUs, motherboard, two Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 drives, plus fans and cooling – are all neatly laid out in a very precise manner.

Once you open it up, you can see that it’s a bit of a full house in there. As someone who both likes RGBs and thinks they can get a little gaudy, this struck a fine balance for me. In a PC Gaming space where everything lights up, the lighting has a chill, subdued vibe rather than a red alert battlestation assault on the senses, especially when looking at it through tinted glass. In this system, the Talon had nearly the maximum amount of RGB flash possible: Three RGB fans, Two RGB DDR4 DIMMs, plus the falcon logo on the cooling system. If you opt for glass, you’ll be treated to a fanciful, but understated light show. The doors are held shut magnetically, so it’s quick and easy to open a panel and get inside.

The side panels, which you can swap between aluminum and tinted glass, open fully on both sides to provide full access to the interior. The more interesting (and practical) design magic happens when you start looking to the inside. As someone who’s constantly swapping things out of those ports, it was a little unnerving. It’s all pretty standard, except for a small eccentricity: One of the USB ports was extremely tight, to the point where some cables and dongles could feel stuck, and required a lot of force to remove. Speaking of the top panel, the Talon has four ports on top: Two USB 3.0, a USB-C 3.1 port, and the usual 3.5mm audio out. The black aluminum on the top and front – also the sides if you prefer metal panels to glass – looks clean and should match well with most desk setups and gear. The clean front panel is angled on either side to avoid too much boxiness. To be the big differentiating factor for the Talon is the design of the mid tower PC case. Its size will catch you by surprise during set-up, though, as it’s surprisingly heavy. At 8.75” wide x 15.5” deep x 17.25” high, it skews slightly to the smaller side of the spectrum, but still requires a decent amount of space. The Talon is, by definition, an ATX mid-tower design.
