Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I bought this to replace an aging PC. I was skeptical of the brand name, but the reviews were very positive. I did not want to spend a lot of money, plus I subscribe to Visual Studio Ultimate w/ MSDN, so I could easily load this PC with the OS of my choice - I chose Windows 7 Ultimate 64. I attached an external DVD player and it easily loaded the operating system. I then used the driver CD supplied with this PC and after several reboots there were no errors in the device manager. Everything was working within a few hours - I was very impressed.
