Average Rating: 
Rating: - very good, overall
This is a strong computer, though I've had two issues. First, it seems to read CDs very slowly. Second, it doesn't always wake up from sleep mode. Actually, I think the computer wakes up, but doesn't send any signal to the monitor. So I could probably press the windows-icon key, then the right arrow three times, then enter in order to shut things down properly. Instead, I've just held the power button, and fortunately it's started up every time without any memory loss.
Rating: - Used to build my computers
I bought my first computer from a local PC shop around AMD K-166/200/233 days. Before that I had hand-me-downs. After that (for 10 years) I built my own so I could get the class of component that I wanted. This year I've bought two ready built systems including this one. So far I'm pretty satisfied with the HP but I've not been able to try everything out. I did add a DVI capable video card since it comes only with an onboard VGA.
No goofiness to Vista and I did install SP1 a couple of weeks ... Read More
Rating:  - Very pleased--great deal
Bought this at an office supply box store in December 07--with the rebates it was a great deal. (Was $400 more if ordered from HP as a custom built.) No problems since then--not even any problems with Vista to my great surprise!
Added an 8500GT video card (connected to a Samsung LCD via DVI) and a 500W power supply (the original power supply is pathetic--I would not add anything the box without a new power supply--it is marginal--typical of most prepackaged computers of any brand.)

Rating:  - HP Does not honor committments
I've just had the worst experience I have ever had with tech support for any company I have ever dealt with. I bought an In-Home service plan, which HP support "couldn't find". So my computer was not working for 2 months when I had paid for a plan that guaranteed service within 3 business days. I've taken this all the way to the CEO...answer: Too bad, we're sorry but we cannot compensate you in any way. DON'T EVER BUY AN HP SERVICE PLAN...BETTER YET DON'T BUY HP PRODUCTS PERIOD!
Rating: - very good.. but
RAM = not upgradable(hard to upgrade..)
hard disk = hard to upgrade, noisy
anyway cpu is hella fast
