Origin didn’t stop there. They’ve paired the processor with three Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 video cards, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and an ASUS X99-Deluxe motherboard.A large side panel window, and a complex, remote-controlled LED lighting system puts the tower’s enthusiast chops on full display. It boasts a stealthy, unassuming look. Turn the LEDs on, and it’s Superman. Turn them off, and it’s Clark Kent.
Metal and plastic are used in the Millennium’s chassis. The former feels premium and sturdy, but the latter is a let down. A few build quality issues can be found along the top panel, where plastic is used to form a series of scoops and dips that enhance the rig’s visual appeal.
They look like handles, but they’re actually flimsy. The system even ships with big red labels warning users that these are “NOT A LIFT POINT.” Design students should take note. If it’s not a handle, don’t make it look like one.
The top of the system also offers excellent connectivity. Here, we found four USB 3.0 ports, and individual headphone/microphone jacks. Fan control knobs, and the usual power and reset buttons are present too. Many competitors have just two forward-facing USB ports that may or may not support USB 3.0 speeds.
Around back, there’s an incredible array of ports, including 10 additional USB 3.0 connectors, two USB 2.0, two Ethernet jacks, 5.1 audio, and antenna connections for the motherboard’s built-in Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The three GTX 980s each provide three DisplayPort, one HDMI 2.0, and one DVI.
Note, though, that not every video output can be used simultaneously. Nvidia’s drivers currently support up to four monitors at 4K. That cap does not increase when extra cards are installed.
