Question 1

Is 4gb is the maxium memory you only can put on the computer?

Accepted Answer

I only have 4GB installed. 2 of the 4 slots are used. Did a quick Google search. It looks like you can install up to 32GB of RAM.

Question 2

Is there any SATA 6bg/s ports for installing SSD Drives? and if so, How many?

Accepted Answer

I Saw at least two SATA ports in addition to the one that was used for the hard drive.
I was able to connect a 1 TB hard drive with absolutely no issues and it was recognized immediately. This computer is very fast and windows 7 professional is a dream.
Upgrading is easy as several Video ports and wireless card can be added later.

Question 3

is there enough room for a Strix 750ti oc video card ? If not can it be installed into an after market case ? Also ,  can the power supply be upgraded . Thanks .

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately I don't think the graphics card you mentioned will fit. I think the Strix 750 may be half an inch too long looking according to it's specs. I bought this desktop from new egg over the holidays and the heat sink over the processor takes up a lot of space and will block it. The heat sink that comes with this model is bigger than most. And for good reason. I believe you may need a GPU that fits inside 7.20 inches. You may be able to squeeze a 7.3 inch GPU in there but don't quote me on that. The Strix goes to 7.7 inches.

You can upgrade the power supply.

You could move the motherboard with everything on it to a new case but you would still have the same problem of the heat sink blocking a longer GPU from being installed on the PCI express slot. Other than that there is plenty of room inside the case. You could remove the heat sink ONLY IF you are going to install a more advanced smaller one that will keep the processing beast on this product cool. This i5 processor with this desktop model has 4 physical cores. It is not the usual 2 core i5 with Hyper Threading.

I put the Zotac 1050 GTX Mini in this product and it fits and runs great. It has a little better core and memory clock speed compared to the Strix 750 not sure if I looked up the exact model you were talking about though. Both of these GPU's come with variants of 2GB or 4GB GDDR5. And both have a 128 bit memory interface. If you can find a mini GPU or a GPU that will fit inside 7.2 inches with comparable or higher core clock speed and that has higher than a 128 bit memory interface I would go with that.

Bottom line for the graphics card is you may have to find a mini GPU that will satisfy your graphic expectations if you buy this desktop pc.

Question 4

What's the wattage on the power supply?

Accepted Answer

320 watts

Question 5

Does it have an HDMI connection?

Accepted Answer

It does not. Google the model and then select the HP link with the full specs on this model.

Very, very tempting. But the hassle of matching monitor with no HDMI and/or having to put together cable adapters kills this for me.

Question 6

What slots does the motherboard have, PCI,PCIe x1, PCIe x16?  and how many?  How many SATA ports does it have?

Accepted Answer

Full-height expansion slots include (1) PCI, (2) PCI Express x1 and (1) PCI Express x16 graphics. SATA Interfaces 2 ea. SATA 3.0 1 ea. SATA 2.0 1 ea. eSATA. If you have the Mid Tower, it will only support half length Graphics cards, but has the capability for dual slot versions.

Question 7

Does this have OS re-installation disks so I can easily upgrade to a ssd down the road?

Accepted Answer

No this includes a OEM Hard Disk Based Recovery Image - A recovery partition exists on the hard drive to restore the computer back to the OEM installed Windows Image.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

The back panel i/o has four usb 3.0 ports.
