Compact and powerful, Spacious 1TB SSD and 2TB hard drive, Gaming performance gets close to pricier systems
Fan noise under load is louder than we'd like, Side-mounted ports are only convenient if the system sits on the right side of your desk, Virtually no expansion options
Origin manages to pack a powerful collection of components, including two of today's fastest graphics cards, into a compact system with the Chronos. But fan noise, as well as gaming performance that isn't quite what we'd expect, make us wonder about ...
There's definitely a compelling product in the Origin Chronos. Origin can pitch their partnership with LucidLogix, and that's certainly a good value add, but I think the one with BitFenix is just as noteworthy. The etched Origin logo on the front of the c...
The Origin Chronos offers best-in-class gaming performance in a tidy, overclocked package
Despite the Chronos' nice variety of options, gamers using multiple monitors will want to look for a system with room for multiple graphics cards
The Origin Chronos shows the strength of small boutique vendors with a fast, affordable, and compact little desktop that I can recommend to any PC gamer.

The Origin PC Chronos packs a lot of power into a small, well-designed case. This is one of the most space-efficient ways to get a VR-ready PC, and the company is known for excellent service and support
With high-power components in a small case, the fans can get loud. The expensive configuration tested here has an Nvidia 970 graphics card -- upgrading to the top of the line will cost extra
One of the most premium-feeling (and premium-priced) of the first generation of VR-ready gaming desktops, the Origin PC Chronos is compact but powerful...

Excellent gaming performance, Eight US 3,0 ports, No Bloatware, Origin-branded Razer keyboard and mouse, Lots of storage
No internal expansion room, Back gets warm during gaming sessions
The compact Origin Chronos is the high-end gaming rig to beat. It raises the bar, showing that you don't necessarily need a massive tower PC to dominate on the game grid...
