Pros: -Small size, smaller than an Xbox -Decent specs on CPU, GPU vs cost -Case is easier to remove that I would have thought with the specialized design

Cons: -HDD is slow to boot (but has an available SSD slot for upgrade) -Slight drone of fan -Can only really stand it upright, sloping sides make it seem silly on its side.

Overall Review: I really liked the looks of this case as soon as a pulled it out of the box. The stripe in the middle looks somewhat pink in the pictures here, but in person is more coppery. The LED effects are also nice, but weren't really a selling point for me. I was really driven by the specs vs price, as well as being made by a manufacturer that I trust. I have had several Asus computers, and they are built very solidly. This desktop is no exception. My first impression holding it, it feels pretty rugged, and could probably take some abuse, which is great, because with a case this small it is also very easy to transport. Starting it up, I was a little disappointed with the boot times initially. It took probably 2 minutes to boot once windows was all set up, and there was also some lag when starting programs when first logging into windows. However, that became moot as soon as I installed a SSD and cloned the OS onto it. Now it boots in 15 - 20 seconds, and runs fast as you like. I would have given this 5 eggs if it had come with an SSD, but for the price point I feel like this is a fair bargain, and only takes a small investment to make it a great machine.
