CLX Horus TGMHORRTZ5108BM Black 2025

With a storage score in the 100th percentile and 96GB of RAM, the CLX Horus is an absolute top-tier workstation that also games like a dream. The Core Ultra 9 and RTX 5090 put it among the best on the market for AI and 4K gaming. Just be aware that reliability is a real weak spot, so keep that warranty handy.

The Core Ultra 9 285K is a top-tier chip, placing this system among the best on the market for raw processing power. With 24 cores and the new NPU for AI tasks, it chews through video editing and local LLM work without breaking a sweat. Our AI benchmark score of 92.3 out of 100 backs that up, making it a standout for anyone messing with machine learning. The RTX 5090 with 32GB of GDDR7 is a leading GPU that pushes frame rates into the stratosphere, especially with full ray tracing enabled. You can comfortably run four 4K displays at 165Hz, or push two 8K screens at 100Hz. The 96GB of RAM is overkill for most, but for heavy multitaskers and simulation users, it's a dream. The only real bottleneck is the 1000W PSU, which is adequate but doesn't leave a ton of headroom for future power-hungry upgrades.

Stacked against the competition, the CLX Horus carves out a niche with its absurd 10TB of total storage and 96GB of RAM, which you won't find in a standard HP Omen GT22 or Lenovo Legion 34IAS10. The ASUS Republic of Gamers GM700TZ-BS978 might offer a more polished, gamer-focused aesthetic and better reliability, but it will likely fall short on raw multi-tasking memory. The MSI EdgeXpert and Dell Tower Plus are strong contenders in the high-end space, but the Horus's AI benchmark score of 92.3 suggests it's specifically tuned to be a hybrid gaming and AI powerhouse. If your workflow doesn't need 96GB of RAM or 8TB of spinning rust, a competitor with a higher reliability rating is probably the smarter, safer long-term bet.

Pricing for this specific configuration is all over the place, with a spread of $3920 across vendors ranging from $7800 to $11720. At the lower end of that spectrum, the price-to-performance ratio is actually pretty compelling when you add up the cost of an RTX 5090, a Core Ultra 9, and 96GB of RAM on your own. You're paying a premium for the CLX build and warranty, but you're not getting completely fleeced if you snag it at the right price. Just make sure you shop around, because paying near $12k for this rig would be a tough pill to swallow.

The CLX Horus TGMHORRTZ5108BM is an absolute monster of a pre-built desktop, landing in the 98th percentile for CPU and RAM in our database. You're looking at an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K paired with a staggering 96GB of DDR5-5600 memory and the new GeForce RTX 5090. This thing isn't just built for gaming, it's a full-blown AI and workstation rig that happens to crush 4K gaming on the side. The storage situation is the best we've seen, sitting at the 100th percentile with a 2TB NVMe SSD and an 8TB HDD, so you can hoard every game and project file without a second thought. Just know that it weighs over 19kg, so you won't be lugging this to any LAN parties.

Skip this desktop if reliability is a top concern for you. Its score in our database is a disappointing 12th percentile, which is a major red flag for a machine this expensive. You should also look elsewhere if you need something even remotely portable, as its compactness score of 26.2 out of 100 means it's a gigantic, 19kg tower. Gamers who just want a pure gaming rig can save a lot of money by dropping down to 32GB or 64GB of RAM, since 96GB is massive overkill for just playing games.

The CLX Horus is a data-backed beast for a very specific type of user. If you need a single machine that can train AI models, edit 8K video, and play Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings without closing any of your 200 Chrome tabs, this is it. The 100th percentile storage and 98th percentile RAM are the real stars here. But the abysmal reliability score and massive physical footprint mean it's not the right call for everyone. Only pull the trigger if you find it priced closer to $7800 and you genuinely need all that memory and storage.
