Pros: Value Motherboard manual Easy overclocking

Cons: Micro-ATX form factor No firewire Crowded slots if adding a double slot card

Overall Review: Love the fact that ZT uses a standard motherboard instead of some modified version. They also provide the motherboard manual. Mine came with the MSI GF615M-P31 this is aka model 7597 version 1.3 which as three modes of overclocking with the flip of a switch: Default/10/15 or 20%. I bought the HIS HD 4670 video card from new egg and this made a world of difference. The previous reviewer should not have expected a system with onboard graphics to excel in gaming. With about a $65 card from newegg, the windows experience for graphics went from 3.2 to 6.7. Interestingly, the memory (RAM) went from 5.9 to 7.5 as well. The power supply shows a rating of 350 with a max rating of 400.

Pros: USB 3.0 slim card

Cons: Power cord too short

Overall Review: I have two regular size computers that this would not work on. The power cord is too short. I had to stop and go buy an extension cable. What did they save, maybe a nickel per unit? Power cord needs to be at least four inches longer.

Pros: Processor Little bloatware Price

Cons: Case quality is mediocre No DVI or HDMI No firewire Upside down card reader

Overall Review: A good value, but could be stellar. ZT has apparently listened to the feedback and the computer was packaged very well. If a wire comes off or memory gets unseated, blame the shipping company. As some have said, the buttons feel a little flimsy and the card reader really is upside down. Also, this does not have a DVI or HDMI out; however, my monitor is displaying 1920 x 1080 and the picture is beautiful. This plays HD videos from my Canon T2i as smooth as silk. I have a duo core Windows 7 laptop with 4MBs of memory and it chokes badly on the same videos. I chose this less expensive ZT with onboard graphics with the intent of adding a power supply and a dual DVI out video card with HDMI. It's not real quiet, but it's not what I would call loud either. What would make this a stellar deal is to charge $50 more but have a better quality case and power supply.

Pros: The drive worked great out of the box. No problems so far and I've filled it up with video files already.

Cons: None

Overall Review: No cables come with drive. If you're trying to add this to an older computer with a regular IDE hard drive and an empty SATA slot, you will not have the cables needed to hook it up. I paired mine with an external enclosure that had the SATA cables.

Pros: Lots of screen real estate makes it convenient to move windows around. Haven't noticed any bleed around the edges.

Cons: Two dead pixels.

Overall Review: A good buy for the money
