Recertified: HP Pavilion A6857C(NC829AAR) Core 2 Quad Q8200(2.33GHz) 8GB DDR2 640GB Intel GMA 3100 Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit

For what your paying for, This system is great! I couldn't be more happier with my purchase. Quad core Intel chip. 8gb of ram. Very quiet and fast machine

cheap graphics. small case. no re installation disks

Very good system for the money. I found it to be fast, but coming from a Pentium 4 might be the reason! But it is doing all I need it to do. I formatted and installed Window 7 Pro and it is working great with it

Not real expandable due to lack of slots but that is not a real negative to me

Cheap. Can't say much more than that. To try and build this from parts would cost you a good chunk more, plus the software

Graphics are awful, but you're not paying for a gaming rig

For what you are spending, and I can't emphasize that enough, FOR WHAT YOU ARE SPENDING, this is a fairly good deal. It does have 8GB of RAM, albeit slow RAM, and a Core 2 Quad chip. Very quiet machine, but then again there is not a lot going on in...

You could not build one for this price with the software and all ; It is a Quad Core Intell and the bord is made by asus. It has all the right stuff you would need to get started computing! and you can get the windows 7 Upgrade for free

Ok here We go ! It does NOT come with software Disks! you have to make them from the computer. have had other hp products and they came with the windows disks. i think with out them is a cheap way to go minus one egg

This PC is good for the money paid, especially because it is an HP. The 2.3 Quad is nice, and I haven't had any hang ups with the 8 GB of Ram. Lightscribe is going to be a big plus this time around. It has a 300W power supply so it will take a nice...

All of the cons are more a manufacturers construction than anything Newegg has to do with ; Only 2 USB on the front ; Integrated graphics (VGA only) ; Only 1 PCI express x16 expansion slot available ; 640GB pretty small for the price ; PS2 Mice and...
