Rating + 2 Fair Deal...sort of


Pros: The price is great for what you are getting. Just make sure you get ALOT more memory (at least 1 gig) and are happy with the size drive it comes with because of SATA compliance issues.

Cons: There are some SERIOUS flaws with the motherboard and chipset "NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100 and NVIDIA nForce Go 430". If you want to install a new SATA Hard Drive, beware! Currently I and may other users out there can't access added SATA hard drives. NVidia has been less than helpfull with a solution to say the least.

Other Thoughts: All in all you get what you pay for.I wouldn't say I got ripped off,but I sure didn't make out on top with this buy. It's an OK system but you have to spend ALOT of time tweaking it to get it running smoothe, I wouldn't think it would be a fun project for a novice user.

Rating + 4 Best Cheap Deal


Pros: FAST Bus speed at 2000MHz! I really think that it being upgradeable to 4GBs is nice. The 2.2 AMD 64 Athlon has a 2MB cache. Nice large size 160GB hard drive. VERY quiet, I never know if the thing is on or not! 9in1 memory card reader can be a huge plus if you're into that kinda thing. The inside of this well ventilated case has a lot of room for upgrades with screw free slots for hard drives and CD drives. PLENTY of USB ports.

Cons: Only comes with 512MB RAM?! Windows Vista requires 512MB RAM minimum to run it, so it's pretty slow at that. The integrated graphics card isn't bad, but since it's integrated it isn't best for gaming or anything. It would be nice if it had any AGP slots. The PCI-E slot that is 16x is the first slot on top so you can't buy double tall PCI-E x16 video card. :( Comes with plain PS/2 mouse and keyboard, would be nice to come with Wireless or Optical. Vista is somewhat of a pain to use, but it's not horrible. Would be nice to have dual CD drives or maybe a floppy drive, but I suppose that is obsolete. Comes with horrible Norton Anti-virus that lags up computer and makes it take forever.

Other Thoughts: This is a good buy if you don't wanna spring too much money but want something to go on the internet or light gaming. I don't really think this machine (RAM wise) was built for Vista, spend $18 more at Newegg and buy at LEAST another 512MB stick of ram. (I'd suggest just thinking in the long run and spending $31 and buying a 1GB stick or RAM). Uninstall Norton immediately to get a much better load time on this comp. This computer gets the basic job done for anyone who can't spend much but wants to do average things.

Rating + 5 Good Starter Machine


Pros: Low Price, 4 memory slots, a PCIx16 slot, modem DVD Burner... for under $400.

Cons: 512MB with Vista isn't enough for even the most basic user

Other Thoughts: I've upgraded, streamlined and sold 9 of these so far. No problems with any of them. Nice fast machines with more ram.

Rating + 4 Great


Pros: this is an awesome computer. Its got an ok cpu speed BUT its an AMD therefore it runs faster then it says. Nice harddrive space and its SATA so its fast. 9 in one card reader is good to have. It has both PCIE 16x and 1x. 4 RAM slots(DDR2). VISTA!

Cons: No AGP(not need all that much). PSU is pretty weak but you dont need a strong one if you keep this configuration. Processor could be faster. The RAM could be higher(but like in pros there are 4 slots)

Other Thoughts: Dont own this computer but looks like a great steal. I would recommend this for Documents, the internet, low end/low demand games(warcraft 3). Also is would be great for photoshop if you have a good monitor.
