Full review

I have this desktop for almost 3 years, and I experience some problems with this computer. But, the only major problem that I had was when I updated this computer to Windows SP3 which totally messed up the computer, just for your information, don't upgrade this to SP3, the service pack will make the computer unfunctional. You can find a patch to fix this problem on their website, but it's too much trouble for such a useless SP. It upgradeable and has a lot of free slots for video card, and RAM. RAM slots are very hard to fit on, you might break the RAM if you forcefully put it in. Although bundled with media center, this computer don't have tuner which is a shame. It is shipped with roller mouse, and no remote control included, which defeat the media center purpose, but it is a pretty well rounded computer. This computer is very obsolete right now, so I wouldn't recommend you from buying this.
