Pros: that the pc is made in usa (nj) is a plus. The nvidia 6150 works well streaming video - zt makes installing almost fool proof - fast enough is the description I would give the amd phenom 955.

Cons: the front case is a composite of plastic and metal - it seems thin and lightly built - only time will tell if this matters

Overall Review: to be honest my "old" computer is over 9 years old and it was about time me to join the "now". zt has put together a package that offers current tech at a very reasonable price

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: Virtually no bloatware Great price Very fast processor Easy set up

Cons: Does have a low hum from fan Had trouble figuring out how to open DVD drive (on the right side of computer).

Overall Review: My last computer came with so many advertised programs that I figured I would be busy in the setup with deleting all of the bloatware. Well, when I fired up this computer, the only icon that appeared on the desktop was a free trial of Norton Antivirus and the recycle bin. WOW!!! MS Office is pre-loaded, but you must purchase this separately. Anyway, this computer system rocks and I would rate it a high value considering how much processor speed it has.

Pros: Fast machine. I am using it with Handbrake to compress videos. It runs 3-4 X faster than my core 2 due machine. Little junkware. Just Office trial. Easily removed.

Cons: Construction is a little cheap feeling. DVD drive doors seem easily breakable. Fan runs constantly and is somewhat noisy. Doesn't bother me as i start a job and leave it. You might not be happy with it on your desktop.

Overall Review: I am pleased to get this power for the price point.

Pros: Wonderful price for what you get -- very fast processor and almost no junkware. I've used it every day for almost two weeks now and have had no problems whatsoever.

Cons: As others have said, if you're looking to use this machine for gaming, you'll need to upgrade the graphics card. The 350W power supply will probably have to be replaced as well if so.

Overall Review: I also purchased this computer with plans to replace the graphics card (with a GTX460) and power supply (with a 650W) for some gaming and could not be more satisfied. I would highly recommend this machine for anyone in a similar situation.

Pros: This PC is very fast, clean of junkware, and reasonably priced. I upgraded from my dual core athlon with 2g of ram, this thing blows it away, so far NOTHING slows it down! I put my old 8800 GT Nvidia card in it temporarily, and it is running World of Warcraft on ultra high settings at 30-60fps. I cant wait to put a current card in this thing to see what it can do!

Cons: If you want to game with this PC, then you need to add/buy an ACTUAL graphics card!............

Overall Review: If you buy a PC with an intergrated graphics card, i.e.: the 6150 SE then it's almost a given you will need to purchase a true graphics card if you want to do any serious gaming. Or you can spend a couple hundred more $$$ and buy a comp. with a dedicated card. I prefer to pay less and choose my own card.

Pros: - No Bloatware - Comes with MS Office Trail (Not Installed but with the disk) - Really Quick 3.2 ghz I have been looking for a computer for sometime. I was thinking of just building a computer but I am lazy so this works great for me. You can throw a $50-1$00 video card in it and it will work fine. If you put anything else in it you will need to upgrade the power supply. (Only 350 watts)

Cons: - 350 Watt Power Supply - Fan is always on - Case feels a little cheap

Overall Review: Overall this a great computer with a new video card and power supply this computer would handle all your gamming needs or anything else you throw at it.

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.
