Question 1

How is a monitor connected to REVO?

Accepted Answer

via full size HDMI to a HDTV or monitor and/or micro DVI to a monitor - can support 2 displays

Question 2

What kind of sound card does it have?

Accepted Answer

Some kind of a standard onboard Intel sound chip running a Realtek driver.

My Device Manager (Win10) under Sound, video and game controllers has:
Intel(R) Display Audio
Realtek High Definition Audio
and a couple other entries specific to my system.

I have another desktop PC for high end audio applications, but with the Revo (i5, 8gb mem)  I'm able to capture and upload clear 192 Kbps Audio in 44.1 KHz stereo with the AAC LC HQ codec, and it sounds great on the websites I'm uploading the audio to. I don't need it for any heavier duties.

Good luck.

Question 3

is windows a full version?

Accepted Answer

yes Win 8.1 (home) 64 bit - on 07-29-15 upgrade to Win 10

Question 4

i use a kvm switch to link my computers with 1 keyboard/mouse.
Does the Rl85-Ur45 have a separate dongle for the keyboard/mouse?????

Accepted Answer

Hello, From all I have read, The Revo One comes with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, no dongle is listed or pictured in or on any of the sites with information about his device.  It does have standard USB 2 and USB 3 ports that a wired keyboard could be attached to.

Question 5

I have seen conflicting information on the internet regarding how many hard drives this computer can actually hold, along with total size. Several articles about it state it can handle up to 3 hard drives with a total of 6TB of storage, but the Acer website states only 1 hard drive with 1TB of total storage. Can someone confirm what the capacity actually is?

Accepted Answer

It comes with a 1 TB HD.  However, it has 3 HD slots (including the one that comes with a drive), which can each be upgraded to 2 TB drives, for a total of 6 TB.

Question 6

What about RAID compatibility?

Accepted Answer

The ACER site mentions RAID support but there don't seem to be any details about what type of support that is. One would guess that it's probably RAID 1, and maybe RAID 5 when the appropriate number of drives of the proper sizes are installed.
