From The Verge: Want to get into PC gaming and feel like you don’t have enough pricey subscriptions in your life? Desktop PC builder and retailer NZXT can ship you a whole gaming rig for as little as $59 per month — as long as you provide your own mouse, keyboard, and monitor.
The Flex subscription program has been available for at least several months, based on NZXT’s posts, and the pricing and specs of the machines listed have changed over time. Now, it’s updating its three-tiered approach to PC renting with new specs, with its base Player: One entry-level sub running $59 per month for a tower running an Intel Core i5 14400F and Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU. Stepping up to the mid-tier Player: Two costs $119 per month for an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU and RTX 4070 Super GPU, and the top-tier Player: Three package costs $169 per month with an Intel Core i7 13700KF and RTX 4070 Ti Super.
All three tiers also require a $50 “setup and shipping fee” that will include the return label if you decide to cancel your subscription.
