Just bought my 12th computer on Monday.
It was meant to be a replacement budget computer that is ready for upgrades [i don't like the whole sliming down style going on, so I prefer standard size desktop towers:
Processor: HP Compaq CQ5110Y 2.5GHz AMD Athlon X2 64 7550 Dual Core Processor Memory: 3GB RAM (expandable to 4GB I believe) Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 (Integrated; will upgrade. lol) HDD: SATA 320GB Western Digital 7200 RPM Monitor: 18.5" Compaq Q1859 Widescreen Display OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) SP1
Pros: [*]VERY QUIET! [*]6 USB Ports: 2-Front, 4-Back [but really 2-back since the keyboard and mouse are USB] [*]3 Fans: Very cool, hasn't gotten hot yet! [*]Energy Compliant: Lower Electricity Bills [*]Upgradeable: Floppy drive, 6-in-1 Reader, PCI Express Slots, etc. [*]FREE UPGRADE: Windows 7 Upgradeable in October
Cons: [*]No PATA/IDE interface: Not a huge problem for me. [*]Windows Vista: At least this cheap computer gave me the Home Premium, rather than Basic. [*]No Joystick/MIDI interface: I'll need to get a new Sound Card for plugging in my piano.
I'm very impressed with my purchase, but honestly; Why do they still include Modem cables and Modem cards? O_o I can handle the card, but why not an Ethernet Cable? Seriously. lol.

Well, it's in my sig...aside from the failed video card fan and 750gb hard drive (supplemented by a 500gb external and hopefully a several TB NAS server and RAID arrays in the future). Damnit, how's it supposed to be a gaming rig with such gaping cooling issues?!

Nevermind the DFI Lanparty stickers, LOL. I used to be a moderator over at DFI-Street when they were the official support forum for DFI. Needless to say this case has housed numerous DFI motherboards, before I found out that Gigabyte poos all over DFI ROFL.
