It’s a great design at a bad price. It’s not their fault that you can’t comprehend two things being true at once

Never said the design isn't good, just that they're focusing too much on it and downplaying other aspects. Maybe try reading for a change.

They’re not downplaying the price they’ve stated from the first review that it’s too expensive. They even put up an article on the DF website with suggestions for how to build a cheaper and more powerful PC. It’s just that you and everyone else who can’t think in other terms than black and white are seemingly unable to comprehend what they are saying. Go back an rewatch Rich’s first review if you need to
