DELL STUDIO HYBRID DESKTOP,2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor,4GB,320GB HD, Slot Load Blu-ray Disc Combo, Dell Wireless Desktop Keyboard & Mouse, Slate Grey Case, Vista Home Premium, 1 Year Warranty Factory Refurbished - Studio Hybrid-R - Blu-ray Disc Combo / WIFI Card / 4GB / 320GB HD

Other than the wireless adapter provided seperately which hooks to a usb port and it is only a wireless G adapter; the machine is very superb. Easy setup, great audio and video and performance but only limited by wireless G adapter. Should have included a wireless N to be really 5 across the board.

This unit has become an ideal addition to my home theater. I found a reasonably priced 10' HDMI cable on eBay and mated this pc to a Phillips 42" plasma. Hulu and YouTube HQ videos look great. I ported the sound to my surround sound system and the audio is great. Setup did have a hitch. The wireless lan adapter was a generic brand, not Dell. The drivers were not installed but were included on an unmarked CD. Once I found it, the device was setup quickly and connections to my Linksys wireless router were fast. Another hitch is that when windows are maximized, they extend beyond the borders of my plasma display. Just a small annoyance. I watched a recent episode of 24 on Hulu and the video and sound were fantastic. The same was true for HQ videos on YouTube. This unit doesn't have a TV tuner, but I didn't buy it to be a VCR. The blu-ray playback is very good. I wouldn't use this pc to play games or rip videos, but as a media room pc, it really does shine.

I love the PC. It works great and serves as a wonderful media PC in our A/V rack. The only complaint I have is Buy.com sent the wrong color. they were out of stock when I called in about the problem and told me I could send it back and they would send me one whenever they got more in stock. I think I'll try to swap the colored sleeve through DELL since Buy.com won't swap just the sleeve.

Purchased this to hook to my new 40" LCD TV via HDMI to use for web browsing and streaming video from sites like Hulu. Setup took about 7 minutes. One power cable, one HDMI cable to TV, done. Only had to pop in the CD for the wireless driver (wireless USB device included) to complete setup. Best of all looks sleek next to my TV.
