Looks like NZXT are looking to rip off gamers with their new computer "subscription" service.

Yeah, rent to own, emphasis on own. Even those places, sure you'd pay the times the cost of the unit but at the end of the day, you'd own the thing and you know exactly what you're getting.

Here you not only are they doing the shady things of switching to inferior parts when you're hitting subscribe so you're a lot more for a lot less that you also don't own at the end of the day. Plus the terms are in the agreement are problematic with the way they're written.

This seems a lot worse than anything Rent-a-center has ever done.
