Verdict
GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 3080 Gaming Box Rev 2.0
7 / 10 Expert Rating
Excellent plug-and-play convenience, but the sealed design and price premium hurt long-term value versus a bare enclosure.
Razer Core X V2
7 / 10 Expert Rating
The best Thunderbolt 5 enclosure you can buy, held back by physics and a missing power supply.
