Fantastic Box
This PC has been spectacular! It is very FAST and has yet to have a glich of any kind. Plus, all the garbage I heard about Vista was just that. This is my 6th PC since the 90's. Although I've been satisfied with the others for the most part, I am exremely happy
with this one.

I'm Lovin It Totally!!
Finally a desktop PC that performs the way I think they should and under $1000. The 640GB hard drive is massive and then I added another 750GB Personal Media Drive too. The Duo Core processor handles media processing tasks like nothing...no bogging down, no crashes or lock-ups...no reboots! The 3GB ram is smokin too. For $659 you can't go wrong with this purchase. My display monitor is a Viewsonic vx2245wm with iPod dock and speakers built-in.

DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!!
Do not even consider this product! My computer is less than 2 months old, and I have had nothing but problems with no help from HP. (Let's just say 3 calls to the company and about 5 hours - still problem not fixed.) Not counting all the hours researching the problem myself. The problems are associated with the DVD drive. You're supposed to make system recovery discs after purchase, but how do you do that when the DVD drive is faulty. I am now going to have to pack up my computer and send ...

Defective product and horrible servie
BUYERS BEWARE; HP's customer service is unable to fix my brand new Media Center computer which was manufactered with a defective CD/DVD optical drive. After a week of speaking with 18 different customer service agents, HP's solution is for me to wait for at least four weeks as the part is on back order. Apparently thousands of computers have this same issue and are still in the market for sale today. The drive cannot read disks of any kind; meaning I cannot install software, back-up my system...

Very Pleased
I've been running my new HP Pavilion M8330F through its paces. I'm very pleased with the purchase. It has a quad core in it and renders in Blender, Yafray, Bryce, and DAZ Studio quite nicely. My rendering speeds have now quadrupled. In the case of DAZ, which takes advantage of the NVidia GeForce 8500 GT graphics card, the speeds are off the charts compared to my old Dell Latitude.
The machine had 3GB of RAM, 640GB of disk space, and runs nice and quite. Plenty o' ports, too. It includ...

BE WARNED!!!!
I purchased this PC and after the first two not working the third time was a charm. Be fore warned though: In my many discussions with HP they said contrary to site descriptions the system cannot support more than 3 GB's of RAM. They said that additional RAM will not be read by the computer, and my cause instability in some instances. It is not an issue with the system as it is Microsoft. Windows 32 bit cannot support that much RAM. You would have to run the 64 bit version to be able to ut...

Smart Computer!
This is a very good Computer. Its set up was very simple and, while I am still attempting to learn everything about it, it runs great.
The delivery was sooner than Estimated by Amazon.
It is fast, runs VERY quietly, and despite all of the negative things I've heard about Vista, it works quite well for everything we need.
Over all, we think we got a good deal!

Great computer for the price.
I got this on sale for under 600. Amazing deal. I give it five stars at that price. Fast, Vista, lots of HD, lots of RAM.
Complaints... I had to add a PCI-e x16 card as the on-board graphics capabilities are not so good (scored a 3.0 on Vista benchmark). have to be careful on what card you get as there is not much room inside so some larger cards would have issues. Also the power supply is low wattage and most newer video cards will require more. Also should mention that it do...

I agree - DON'T buy
Less then 3 Months old and HP Repair has now had it twice for a period of nearly 4 weeks. Like others, i've spent hours on the phone with too many calls to count. The PC locks up without reason. HP keeps insisting they can fix the problem. Second time, I even them screen captures, video and pics back with my PC, yet you get every excuse in the book why they won't replace it. "we will fix it". Unless you enjoy talking hours on the phone with folks that have NO clue what they are doing, I'd sugg...
