Corsair’s Vengeance 5185 PC: Core i7-9700K + GeForce RTX 2080, and Lots of RGB
by Anton Shilov on May 20, 2019 1:00 PM EST
Having launched their Corsair One small form-factor PCs, as well as Bulldog PCs for the living room, Corsair is now entering the market of mainstream gaming machines with its Vengeance series of computers. The new systems are Micro-ATX PCs designed for gamers looking for performance and style, but not necessarily looking to build a machine themselves.
The Corsair Vengeance family of PCs currently includes two models — the Vengeance 5180 and the Vengeance 5185 — which use a Micro-ATX version the company’s Crystal Series 280X RGB case. The 680X offers two chambers, three tempered glass windows, and supports multiple RGB LEDs. The latter are clearly intended to be a defining feature of the new line of systems, so Corsair had equipped its Vengeance systems with 125 individually addressable RGB LEDs throughout these PCs, and which can be controlled using the company’s iCue software.
The more affordable Vengeance 5180 is based on Intel’s Core i7-8700, which is paired with MSI’s B360 motherboard, 16 GB of DDR4 memory, a 480 GB SSD, and a 2 TB hard drive. The more advanced Vengeance 5185 is powered by Intel’s Core i7-9700K and is accompanied by MSI’s Z390 motherboard, 16 GB of DDR4, a 480 GB SSD, and a 2 TB HDD. Both machines include MSI’s GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card, so performance of the two systems should be rather close in today's largely GPU-bound games.
Just like other gaming PCs from Corsair, the Vengeance family uses off-the-shelf components, yet comes in a custom chassis. And, since it is cheaper to build a Micro-ATX (both in terms of components and labor), Corsair’s Vengeance PCs are less costly than the company’s Corsair One SFF machines.

The probably started with the higher end model, and then added the $100 cheaper one to try and use up old parts.MDD1963 - Monday, May 20, 2019 - link
Cheap ba$tards would not even spring for Win10 Pro on the $2500 model? :) (That's still a lot of markup on both models, as an RTX2080 is $sub-$800; for $2500, it should have 32 GB of RAM, a 2 TB 970 EVO, and a 9900K)Flunk - Monday, May 20, 2019 - link
Why does any gaming rig need Windows Pro? The main feature is the ability to join domains.willis936 - Tuesday, May 21, 2019 - link
Uhh, no it isn't? Remote desktop, deferred updates, and hyper-v are hotter ticket items.MDD1963 - Monday, May 20, 2019 - link
overpriced by $800 or so.....nice!Dug - Wednesday, May 22, 2019 - link
Please price out all components, including OS. Build time (or is your time not worth anything). Testing to make sure everything works.Then pay yourself, electricity, utilties, etc.
Add support if something goes wrong.
How is overpriced again?

Price appears in line actually.. small markup but nothing major. BS on the PSU tho.. Should be one of their Gold RMi's in there.
