    Thanks :)
    
    To be clear I meant the date of the draw (Aug 5th) was my birthday.

  Can you find/build a similar sized gaming PC with the same components for cheaper?

    its krogan but still 699 cheaper :(
    
    is awesome for the size though

      Well, the competition wouldn't be as appealing if they listed the discounted price, would it?

        @topherboi: true, but competitions appealing regardless cause free :P and nowhere is selling it for full RRP.
        The best thing about it is its size.
        
        Any laptop with an i7-8750h or i7-9750h and a 1660gtx(or higher) - which is faster cpu and gfx card than what the mini pc comes with.
        With all the same other hardware is going for 2k and under if you shop around. If your specifically after the size of it you can even remove the laptops from their housing and make them almost exactly the same size with some backyard engineering. eg. mini-itx case or manufacture ur own :(

    Easily, in fact you can even have this same NUC for less than $1300 without the RAM and SSD.
    The Intel NUC8I7HVK barebones regularly sells for 1250-1300 even when not on sale.
    http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=NUC8I7HVK&spos=…
    
    Then you simply add the 16GB DDR4 SODIMM for less than $100,
    http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=16gb+ddr4+sodim…
    
    and the 1tb NVME SSD for less than $170.
    http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=1tb+nvme&spos=1
    
    Windows 10 license can be had for less than $150 legitimately (or $2-7 for a key on ebay).
    https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1…
    
    So for around 1500 bucks (not on sale) you can get this exact same setup.
    If you wait for a sale like black Friday or an ebay 20% off you could get it even lower than this.
    
    I bulit one recently and added 2tb and 32gb instead for way less than the 2699 advertised here
