HP Omen 40L

Lower-cost prebuilt gaming desktops don't grace PC Labs as often as we might like, and the latest is from HP, the Omen 40L. As the name suggests, it sits inside a chassis with around 40 liters of internal space—in other words, a mid-tower chassis....

Reasonable price Generally quiet operation Toolless access to the internals Beautiful chassis

Optimized memory profile not applied out of the box (but easily remedied) Lacks front-panel USB-C port GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, as tested, not our favorite-value GPU (though other options available)

HP's Omen 40L comes in at a decent midrange price for such a luxe, quiet, and upgrade-friendly chassis. Our main quibbles are with a lack of USB-C on front, and with memory settings that could use tweaking out of the box.
