I spent a few weeks looking at computers from $350 to $800, and over all I found this computer was the best buy. I did add a graphics card but that's not a big deal, and is about the easiest and most important upgrade anyone should do when looking at computers under $600 or so. I used the Intel web-site to compare the difference in the chips and yes there are some differences in the some of the more expensive chipsets but to experience a significant improvement it would have not been cost effect to acquire those minor performance gains. The power supply at 300 watts is ok and will allow you to add a decent graphics card (I added an Nvidia Geforce GT 630). The Beats Audio is better than I expected and adds a nice EQ to the mix. The performance over my two year old Acer 3900 series with an Intel Core 2, 2.8 GHz processor is significant even with the upgrades I did to the old PC. This PC seems to perform well with the pre-installed 8 Gigs of Ram, but I would really like to be able to expand that to maybe 16, but I'm not sure what the limitations of the OS are, and I feel for that for most of us this is not going to be a big issue yet!(1/1/13) the limitations in regards to Ram are in the MB, but you can upgrade the processor to any of the current Intel processors)Pro's are (1)The Hard drive (2) the I-3 processor (3) The inside of the case is roomy and not cluttered making additions easy so adding another HD or optical drive should be simple. (3) 3 open PCI slots (4) Simple onboard wireless connectivity. With one Video card slot and three standard PCI slots it does give you room to add and upgrade you're main components, and even swapping the power supply would be easy with the amount of space provided.Con's are simple, limited to 8 Gigs of Ram. 300 watt power supply (note 300 watts is very typical and is what your going to find in most off the shelf computers)Over all, at the current price of $429.00 I felt this was the best buy I found, in fact other stores (as of 12/21/12) are selling this computer up from $558.99 to $600 (found while doing a Google Search), so after considering the options this was just to good of a packge to pass on. To see a real improvement meant I was going to have to spend at least a couple hundred more on a PC with minimal gains, and I feel that if you add a graphics card that might set you back $100 at the very most your going to be way ahead of the game. In my case I bought a 2 Gig Nvidia GeForce that will allow me to do anything I want on a computer.Would I recommend this to family and friends? without a doubt, with the simple addition of a $40-$80, graphics card you will have a solid performing PC that will keep up or pass anything you'll find at or under the $600 mark.BTW The Beats Audio is Great, I honestly didn't expect that much sound quality from my PC but the Beats Audio is a huge improvement better than I had first thought when righting the review.I forgot to add a few things I would have found useful when I was researching my purchase.1. The computer has a 300 watt power supply.2. There are only two slots onboard for Ram.3. There is a computer image onboard in case you ever need to restore to factory spec's.(Update 1/1/13) The two USB 3 Ports are on the front of the PC, and the USB 2 ports are on the back.The link below will take you to a diagram of the PC with some potentially very useful info.[...](1/24/13) I meant to add this earlier and some might find this useful but it depends on the user. The Mother Board is the Joshua-H61-uATX (Joshua). If you use your favorite search engine you can find out just how capable this computer can be. I tried to place a link here earlier to the entire information page on the computer supplied by HP, but Amazon removed it, so hope this helps..

I purchase a lot of computers. I setup computers for family, friends and customers. I have seen great computers and I have seen computers that were a nightmare. In my experience, HP tends to be in the middle of the pack when it comes to quality. I recently had a customer who wanted an HP desktop so I came across this system (which was priced at $429 at the time) and purchased it. After receiving it, I was impressed with the build quality and the overall speed of the system. Here are some pros and cons:PROS --Fast processorRAM (8GB is plenty for most users)Large HD (1.5 TB is overkill for most)Dual DVI ports for dual monitors (comes with DVI to VGA adapter)CONS --Button to open DVD drive feels flimsySquealing noise from power supply (most likely just an issue with the system I got, it wasn't enough of an issue to return it)Stock keyboard and mouse not the greatestHP support is lackingOverall, I would recommend this system to anyone looking for a well configured system for an average user who likes to check e-mail, browse the web and store their files (documents and pictures) and have plenty of space to spare. The system isn't worth anymore than $500, so wait for a deal from Amazon before purchasing if the price exceeds $500.

Spent a couple of hours online with an HP tech in India (surprise!) to get the updated video driver for the dual monitor thing to work and spent a couple of hours in Staples arguing about the DVI-I and DVI-D outputs on the computer (finally found one on the shelf and SHOWED them what I was talking about). The computer is great, really--and the price is great, too. I'm still having a little trouble with the dual monitors in that on startup sometimes everything's fine and sometimes it only sees one of the monitors. And in Windows 8, you have to sign-in so I have to sign in to an invisible screen--then hit the Windows key and press "P" at the same time to get the second monitor to work. This has happened a few times, most recently after a Windows Update. If you turn both monitors on first, it's usually okay. I kind of like the dual monitor thing--but if you don't need it, then the computer is an easy 5-star. If you do need it, it's a 3.5 to 4. Windows 8 is okay after you get used to it--don't be afraid of it. I didn't like the absence of actual CD's for booting up if there's a problem, but making my own was fairly easy and straight-forward. Also didn't like the computer forcing me to use Windows 8 "apps" but you can get around that easily enough. Learning curve? 3 days.
