A 5 Star Recommendation

I just flat out needed to upgrade my PC because of the system requirements needed to run some of the newer software for digital photos and scrapbooking and games. I am so pleased with the performance and the small footprint of this PC, I would recommend it as a good buy for your $.

Great machine for its target audience

I bought this machine for my mom, of grandmother age, and it is perfect for that purpose. I didnt buy it expecting it to be upgradeable, nor does my mom need to run the latest of games, or the largest of monitors. What I was looking for was a compact machine that would fit in her office without taking it over and this box fits the bill. With media slots and a USB adapter on the front panel it satisfied my/her needs. It also seems well built and is pretty attractive as 'puters go.

Great product for those looking for a small nimble machine

This is a great for those looking with a machine that they can easily throw on their existing wireless network without hassles. That was a major selling point for me... small + pre-installed wireless means it can go anywhere. The first thing you should do however is update the nVidia drivers from the nVidia website, especially if you have a widescreen lcs. It will resolve the issue of not getting 1440x990. Vista is great, ram is perhaps a bit light, but I havent had any problems yet. Loving this machine and it's compact powerful package.

A winner in almost all respects.

I bought this computer primarily in order to replace my DVD player. It's small enough to fit in the media cabinet, and having a computer right there, via wireless keyboard and mouse, is absolutely wonderful. It's already set up for surround sound, and hooking up a 42" LCD was very straight forward.

For me the biggest fault is the lack of a Printer port. But if I understand correctly, one can simply get one of the readily available USB to LPT converter cables on the market today.

The graphics are astounding, and although I thought that using the Vista operating system would be quite cumbersome at first, everything on the screen is actually quite practical and natural once you get the hang of it. And this comes from someone who just upgraded from Windows 98.

Vistas is set up as a default to be connected to the Internet. So if you don't plan on using it with the Internet, like me, there are many annoying screens that will keep on popping up until you figure out how to deactivate them.

Besides that, except for maybe a somewhat extended hesitation here or there by the system, it's been smooth sailing. Keep in mind though, that I don't come anywhere near to using the full potential of this computer.

At one-third the size of a conventional PC, this full-featured desktop can be used almost anywhere, like in a kitchen or playroom. One of its features is a SuperMulti DVD drive with LightScribe technology. The drive can burn data to a wide-range of DVD disc formats, including dual-layer discs, which offers twice the amount of storage space compared to regular DVDs. When burning, you can use LightScribe technology to literally etch text and graphics onto the disc with the drive's laser, giving you professional quality labels for your media. You also get a front panel memory card reader - a great way to easily get pics off of your digital camera - as well as a huge 250GB hard drive, 1GB of DDR RAM, a super-fast AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor, Microsoft's latest Vista operating system and much more. 250GB 7200RPM SATA HDD NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE graphics with 128MB of memory SuperMulti DVD Burner with LightScribe Technology - (write speeds) up to 8x DL DVD+R, 4x DL DVD-R, 16x DVD-/+R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 5x DVD-RAM, 40x CD-R,&32x CD-RW / (read speeds) up to 16x DVD-ROM&40x CD-ROM High Definition 7.1 Audio Support Built-in Wirleess 802.11b/g LAN Adapter Front Panel 9-in-1 Digital Memory Card Reader Ports - 10/100 Ethernet, 5 USB 2.0 (1 front), 1 Firewire (back), 1 Headphones (front), 1 Microphone/Line-In/Line-Out (back), 2 PS/2, 1 Digital Audio Out, 1 VGA Out,&1 S/PDIF Out (back) Slots - 1 PCI (occupied) Bays - 1 External 5.25 (occupied) / 1 Internal 3.5 (occupied) 56k Fax Modem Unit Dimensions - 9.75 (h) x 4.375 (w) x 13.125 (d) Unit Weight - 14.2 lbs.
