Strong performance considering the price ; Easy-to-access hot-swap drive bays

Gaming performance suffers ; No next-generation device or display connections

1) It's lasted for many years now (lost track at some point, I think it's 5 years old). Severely impressed with that. The only thing that's not original in the system is the PSU. Old one failed recently so I bought a Rosewill AP550 and changed it out....

It overheats easily. The case and stock fans do a poor job of circulating air. Personally, I think the case design is pretty terrible

I have had this beast for 4 years now, purchased and have only had one problem, "in the cons". I play WoW, Black Ops1, Mw3, LoL, and D3. I have not replaced anything on this badboy and i still run movies and games at the same time pulling 30fps or more...

GPU had trouble overheating due to lack of case fans, added 2 fans 1 8mm and 1 12mm and no problems since

The case is a nice piano black, so it looks nice. I had trouble with the pop up USB port gizmo not staying closed, but it started working again

The power supply caused some problems, so I replaced it. Now it Blue Screens about every 3 days, sometimes more often. I've taken out RAM and swapped it around, still core dumps. I am now going to replace the motherboard and put in a new CPU, buy...

well it very powerful, more ram than i really needed, an actual graphics card not that onboard junk, alot of very good stuff too it, now granted its not the best pc out there even at that time but when it comes to store bought pcs its the best between...

it does run a bit hot being that it only has one fan and thats on the processor no case fans at all but the power supply keeps you from adding some anyways i have never had any over heating issues on this unit i leave it on all the time ; the other con...

This computer is fast, it responds fast to new commands, allows an insane amounts of multi-tasking, and runs most programs flawlessly even when multi-tasking ; A Quad-core CPU, 8GB of ram, actual graphics card, and a TV Tuner all included ; Memory-Card...

Flip/down panels are cheaply made, they require considerable push to unlock/lock, and fell like the will break everytime there opended or close, I just leave them open ; Touch-panel doesn't always respond, and may require several taps to "figure-out"...

Fast. Quiet. Plays everything I've thrown at it at a good pace. Best package for the price that I've been able to find with enough expandability to keep most people happy for a while

The 2 pop-out compartments are annoying...have to push really hard to get them opened and closed. Really needs USB ports in front that are always available, or available next to the sound plug-ins.(the front pop out compartment)
