REVIEW BY: bob_allen Reviewed Apr 27, 2008

Very nice machine with all kinds of features for the price. I only gave it 4 stars on performance because it came with Vista which has a pretty GUI but hogs resources on a machine that would fly with XP. Ran right out of the box great and I put a 22” Acer display with it. Great buy from what’s pre-built with a true Quad.
