Cons: The box seemed a little cheap because the cover was slightly ajar when I unpacked it, and after fiddling with it I never did get it to close much better.
I took off one star for that. The box is perfectly adequate in terms of cooling and the price was right, so I'm happy. I don't plan on adding anything anyway. Overall Review: Before purchase ZT told me the on-board video was disabled and only the ports on the video card would work, but I changed one BIOS setting and the on-board video ports work too so I can stretch my desktop across 4 monitors for financial charting.

MS Office is pre-loaded, but you must purchase this separately. Anyway, this computer system rocks and I would rate it a high value considering how much processor speed it has. Pros: Fast machine. I am using it with Handbrake to compress videos.
It runs X faster than my core 2 due machine. Little junkware. Just Office trial. Easily removed. Cons: Construction is a little cheap feeling. DVD drive doors seem easily breakable. Fan runs constantly and is somewhat noisy. Doesn't bother me as i start a job and leave it.
You might not be happy with it on your desktop. Pros: Wonderful price for what you get -- very fast processor and almost no junkware. I've used it every day for almost two weeks now and have had no problems whatsoever. Cons: As others have said, if you're looking to use this machine for gaming, you'll need to upgrade the graphics card.
The W power supply will probably have to be replaced as well if so. Overall Review: I also purchased this computer with plans to replace the graphics card with a GTX and power supply with a W for some gaming and could not be more satisfied. I would highly recommend this machine for anyone in a similar situation. Pros: This PC is very fast, clean of junkware, and reasonably priced. I put my old GT Nvidia card in it temporarily, and it is running World of Warcraft on ultra high settings at fps.
