REVIEW BY: nothappy Reviewed  Jul 29, 2008 

Got this computer about 4 months ago. First installed it the internet literally did not work, even with the internet plugged directly into the computer. Took hours to play around with to finally get it working, all it needed was literally a wiggle of the computer and walah it started to work. The wireless internet is really terrible. I am honestly 1 room away from the router and it has 3/5 bars. My laptop has 5/5. I get disconnected randomly all the time, and I play computer games online so it is really annoying. The internet also stops working, and it cannot fix it properly with the repair button. I know its the computer because my laptop has internet and is in the same room as this desktop. The remote stops working all the time, in order to get it to work again you have to unplug the usb wireless receiver, then plug it back in. I wanted this computer because it had a bluray hd player, so I hooked it into my 32 HDTV.
