   I bought this directly from Amazon. Out of the box setup was very simple. I used the quick start guide that is basically plug it in, turn it on, and follow the instructions on the screen that could not have been simpler. I deleted or uninstalled the crapware “that came preloaded before installing additional hardware or software.

   I’ve been using Win XP for 5 years and the move to Vista is easier than change Win 2000 or Win 98 to Win XP.

   No problems with the wireless keyboard or mouse. The TV tuner works like a champ. Vista with ease, and, surprisingly, recognizes my old Epson 900 and also my Viewsonic LCD monitor 900X, which has built-in speakers (not an audiophile’s dream).

   The reasons for not gave it 5 stars a program that was preloaded Acrobat Reader 7. 0 and version 8. 0 has been available since last fall! Sticky a machine built in March 2007! Are there other things inside the box non-standard or obsolete ? came with Vista Ultimate 32-bit and should have come with Vista Ultimate 64 bit (as my HP laptop did) that limits ram upgrade, especially since the operating system itself takes up almost 1 GB of RAM.
   < , br /> The biggest complaint is the recovery partition, even if the recovery discs are done. Once connected to the machine and connected to the Internet, a total of 43 critical updates in three days. This makes the obsolete information retrieval. If necessary to contact technical support, most likely tell you to use the recovery unit / disk and the more time passes more obsolete. Oh, Pleez! At least offer a DVD operating system.

   Performance Features:
   1. WEI = 5. 1 (lowest CPU, all other categories above)
   2. System Memory = 2GB DDR2-PC2-5300, expandable via four memory slots for 8 GB (only 3. 25GB usable with 32-bit Vista Ultimate)
   3. Hard Drive 320 GB = double SATAS, for a total of ~ 596GB (usable) storage space
   4. Plug-in nVidia 7600GT graphics card with 256 MB DDR2 = RAM

   Special Features:
   1. Ultimate (32-bit edition)
   2. Dual hard drives supporting RAID (0 or 1) technology
   3. TV Media Center PC with TV tuner and dual remote (analog NTSC and digital ATSC-)
   4. HD DVD in addition to standard DVD / CD-ROM
   5. 8-channel sound card built-in surround sound, plus coaxial digital audio outputs of E / S
   6. Remote (wireless) keyboard and mouse
   7. 6 USB 2 ports. 0 ports (2 front + 4 rear)
   8. PMD portable storage bay for up to 500 GB HDD (sold separately by HP)

   Weaknesses:
   1. Inadequate PSU of only 300 watts, would not be enough for any H / W Upgrade – as a better graphics card – and questionable for “factory” configuration once you start loading up the USB devices and PMD optional hard disk.
   2. Vista Ultimate 64-bit not provided, but if you buy the latest in the shop, comes with 32 and 64-bit versions
   3. = N motherboard replacement adapter slots, ie. You can not upgrade the graphics card more powerful card or two-way “nVidia SLI” technology
   4. No built-in speaker (s), or even a simple integrated audio beeper mouse or keyboard clicker /.
   5. dual tuners do not share a single entry by air, satellite, therefore you must connect two OTA (Over The Air) signal inputs, one for analog and one for digital.
   6. Only “8″ series (not 7600GT) support nVidia DrectX version 10 on a Vista Ultimate machine.
   7. BluRay DVD No support.

   Owning this team for several months, I have BIG experience problems with the HD DVD and HD DVD HP DVD Player (V2. 3) software and RAID 0 format the hard drives. A year ago, the HD DVD vs. Blu-Ray format war is just beginning, but in 2008 it is becoming increasingly clear (more) than a BluRay player would have been a wiser choice to have in a PC.
   
   or HD DVD to be frank I did not work (at first). I found a loose internal power supply wire harness connection that when he moved, the HD DVD player would lose power intermittently. Additionally, the unit apparently lacked a major firmware upgrade to ensure compatibility with all HD DVD titles currently available. There was no mention of this in any of the user documentation, and only by chance did I discover the need for updated downloads available, but not the support website of HP. Go figure! Finally, the HD (and regular) DVD Player can be used independently or in the Press Center seems quite buggy. I think the “factory” version of HP DVD HD DVD Player (V2. 3) is not 100% compatibility with the interface of DVI video card, even with Vista “certificate” LCD monitor supports HDCP. However, works reliably using the analog VGA connector port, but I have not paid and expected to work.

   Probably ever need more than 100 GB of space little storage, I reconfigured (with care) the dual 320 GB HDDs in RAID-0 format. I noticed an immediate speed on the overall performance of the machine, but be careful. If something happens to your file system, have to do a full system restore from the CD, which are not supplied by HP!

   Upgraded to 4 GB total system (4 x 1 GB sticks) and was pleasantly surprised to find the memory speed running at 667MHz, not 533Mhz as announced by HP. No problems with this update, but the accessibility of spare memory card slots on the motherboard for this machine is not for the uninitiated or large limbs. Note that with a 32-bit operating system (although Vista Ultimate – if purchased separately – is compatible with 64 bits), the maximum addressable memory is limited to 3. 25GBs. If it were not for the small, perhaps minor, will increase to just over 1/4GB memory space, installing a pair of DDR2 DRAM memory card of 512 MB of memory (for a total of 3GBs) could be the most economical way to go.

   Overall this is a good destop PC, when used with a high resolution monitor and 5. set of 1 or higher sound quality (sold separately). However, HP has designed all the errors in supporting a built-in HD DVD player (or put in a dual purpose, univerisal, HD / BluRay DVD player to avoid obvious questions customer satisfaction with a single format available in the exclusion of many other varied BluRay movie titles.

   I’m keeping this short for now, while analyzing the quality of this unit. But frankly the noise level is my main concern. This thing has 4 fans. CPU, powersupply, sentencing, and graphics card. HP has no idea of help, but both the HP and Dell forums indicate that the fan of the Nvidia 7600 GT card is the culprit. I agree. Tour at great prices all the time and destroys the peace and quiet in the house. This is especially annoying for a Media Center PC. Dell Forums and employees recognize the problem and say they are working with Nvidia for a settlement of the driver. HP technicians do not know the Nvidia card has a fan. I can return the unit to the noise alone. Customer Reviews at Circuit City said the same. . . . . Noisey.

   Other Stuff. . . . Lot of stroke and features for the dollar. The picture is very complete. . . no free space inside, but then is loaded with features. It will be very difficult to add or replace components.

   Vista is hard for me so far. I know XP inside and out, but Vista convoluted things with different terminology, the names and organization. Not sure why they bothered. Getting to talk to my other PC on the network was much learning. This came with “Ultimate”, but I doubt it is a useful thing.

   The wireless keyboard and mouse are cheap. . . especially the mouse that has holes in it the answer. . . I’ll be putting my Logitech back in service shortly.

   A lot of things on board too intrusive. ISP sales, Norton (especially intrusive), HP Total Care service, Yahoo search. Out of the box running two firewalls, two spyware programs, etc. . all competing for your attention and the CPU.

   Because the overhead of Vista, not expecting this to run much faster than a Pentium 4 years of age 4 (2. 4-2 . 8GHz). He does surf the Internet quite quickly.

   I copied a homemade video DVD using both products and Roxio. Very fast.

   Speakers come with this.

   I do not pay for the shipping of commodities, but ended up getting free shipping 2 days. Thanks Amazon.

   I’ve had this unit for about a month. I’ve only had two problems. First, while Vista Ultimate is a good program, it is still a bit buggy. Once the first service pack comes out, I’m sure it will be much better. Second, the TV tuner drivers to uninstall and reinstall on a regular basis. I do not know why, but that’s what I’m discovering. None of these issues is a great thing, so I heartily recommend this unit to anyone who wants a system that can grow.

   Everything about this PC is nice, the look, low noise and high performance are excellent. I usually build my own computer, but could not approach the value of this system on my own. Also, I have HP service and support trust. I service and support hundreds of computers in my work. Most are Dells with the exception of the last year or so we’ve been buying HPs. The difference in quality and design, unparalleled service and support. A service call to Dell a couple of days it took almost an hour of my day. That was just to convince them that an LCD screen flashes on a laptop is necessary warranty work. – HP gets two thumbs up. . .
