Question 2

is the dvd read/write?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the DVD is R/W and works with both + and- DVD's.  Just got this set up as a server on my small network, and seems to be a great machine.

Question 3

Does this computer support Dual Display?

Accepted Answer

yes it does. & it runs quite nicely on stock GPU components.

however, you will need an HDMI -> VGA/DVI adapter (depending on monitor being used).

the I/O panel only allows for 1 VGA output & 1 HDMI output.

my setup with this computer is VGA -> VGA / DVI -> HDMI
you can get a high quality DVI to HDMI adapter from newegg for under $5

hope this helps. 
all in all this is an amazing PC right out of the box.

Question 4

It appears this cannot be operated wirelessly, it must be hard-wired for internet access. Are we missing something?

That is quite correct.
To go wirelessly you will need to get some wireless WiFi adapter.

Accepted Answer

For HD's or PCI slots? There's a total of 3 PCI/PCI-E Expansion slots and zero available for DVD/CD it appears (look at front of case). As for HD...might be zero might be 1, unsure.

Question 7

can it be ordered with an upgraded graphics card?

Accepted Answer

yes.  it has PCI-express slots available that will accept a plethora of aftermarket video cards.
