I'm not a IT tech and I don't play games, but I wanted a desktop for photo editing and storage since we already have multiple laptops in the house. After spending a few weeks scouring the internet trying to figure out how much a computer should cost I got pretty frustrated with the complete lack of pricing structure involved. Some models look like they were destined to be on sale, while some looked kind of reasonable at their regular price. I finally found this one and was pleasantly suprised to see what seemed to be rather impressive specs for a computer in this price range (I even had an IT guy at work check it out, he gave it a thumbs up). I was able to get this computer during a "lightning deal" during cyber monday week which made it an even better deal.I wanted:A big hard drive (1TB) since my camera is spitting out huge RAW filesAt least an ok graphics card (AMD Radeon(tm) HD 7560D) in case I start to use photoshop on top of using lightroomA decent dual or quad core processor (AMD® A-Series Quad-Core A8-5500 Processor 3.2GHz)At least 8GB RAMI've had it set-up for a couple of days now and I am very happy with it. Windows 8 seems to run really fast and smooth, I've only had IE lock up once on me. This isn't a Win 8 review so that's all I'll say. As for what's in the box, very basic stuff. The keyboard and mouse are wired USB which isn't too big of a deal, especially for the keyboard. I may buy a wireless mouse at some point but they work fine with no worries about batteries. Note, the video card only has a VGA and HDMI, no DVI, so I had to order a HDMI to DVI cable for a digital connection to my monitor which does not have an HDMI input.

For the money, this computer isn't bad but it has a few basic flaws that are very common to prebuilt computers.1. The case it comes in is an oven for the components. Especially the hard drives. Not only are there no fans for the hard drives but there isn't even a space to add a fan if you're willing to buy your own and install it yourself. The tool-less hard drive bay that is meant to be convenient (and is) also is directly below the DVD drive so the heat has nowhere to go. If you put a hard drive in this space and run it for a few hours, it gets very hot. To the point to where if you take it out and hold it in your hand, it is very uncomfortable to touch. How hard is it to add a fan for the hard drive?2. The computer doesn't come with an actual restore CD and a separate copy of your operating system like computers used to. Instead, they have recovery partitions on the hard drive. Which is fine as long as your hard drive never dies or gets corrupted or somehow erased. Not the kind of chance I like to take with a piece of equipment that's useless without a hundred dollars worth of software. I don't care what their excuses are, there is no excuse for this. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to use your computer and have peace of mind that if anything goes wrong you can simply fix it with a quick reinstall. Of course, it's rare to find a store bought PC without the same flaws. If you plan on buying one of these, plan on buying a copy of Windows just to make sure you're safe. And if you're going to spend that much money, you might as well either build your own and buy Windows or have someone build you one and get a better PC out of the deal. I was not aware that this computer did not come with a Windows CD when I bought it. I kept it anyway but I wouldn't do it again.

I also got this during the Amazon lightning deal. I wouldn't pay the advertised price for this..it was worth what i payed for it. I too had issues with windows 8 but..found out there are apps out there to make it all look like your older windows platforms AND still enjoy the apps off to the side if you want. I wanted to get a major upgrade and get a system that my kids can game on..so far they are impressed. I have had no issues with it so far. It does have a expansion slot for an additional cd/dvd/bluray drive of your chosing. Yes, it does start up fast:)
