5 of 5 Run like a baby!!! Tuesday, December 01, 2009
Tuan La from Houston, Texas  

BOS updated and it will run like a baby... hooked it up through my receiver (my Sony receiver suprisingly recognized the HDMI output from this computer with both sound and picture), then i have a great home theater PC.

4 of 5 Unexpected Pleasure Saturday, November 21, 2009
A Customer from Maitland, Florida  
I don't know what I was expecting when I opened the box, but I didn't expect a desktop PC as small as this one! Wow! Now, instead of sitting the PC on the floor where it collects all sorts of dust, it sits right behind my monitor--almost invisibly! Next, it is extremely quiet! Can't believe it makes so little noise when it's running! Third--it is blazing fast. Boots up in just seconds. The wireless-n connection delivers Internet content very fast. Plus, it has a nice hidden connection panel on the front with an SD card reader slot, a firewire port, two USB ports and headphone & microphone jacks. Guess it's not too hard to tell that I bought my last PC in 2003! This one's a keeper.

4 of 5 Wonderful - If you spend some extra time. Friday, November 06, 2009
David from Waterford, NY  
These things are tiny & quiet. I wanted an attractive tiny desktop to sit hidden behind my 24" monitor. Absolutely fits the bill. I highly recommend updating the BIOS from Asus before you get started. Thier update fixes overheating issues. If you want to do upgrades - you can. I found good instructions for opening the case on-line, and it only took 3-4 minutes. I upgraded the CPU to an E8200 with 1300 FSB. Four quick screws to take the CPU cooler off. New thermal paste. I swapped the hard drive for a solid state Cruicial M225 128GB. Wow! This machine does not have mounting holes for 2.5 hard drives, but it's actually easy. mount one front screw, and the rear screw holes are at the edge of the metal. Put two rear screws in and the drive is held firmly in place by the three screws. Memory cannot be upgraded from the included 4GB according to specs, but I'll bet the new 4GB modules (buy two of them) would work. They're just too expensive for me to try-out right now. WINDOWS 7 - As of 11/6/09 Asus has no Windows 7 support! Well, I did it anyways. Two things did not work. Realtek Audio was not supported, however a visit two days ago to the Realtek site got me the working drivers. Still not Working: Ricoh Card Reader and firewire port. CONDITION - These were refurbs all-right. The Shiny Piano-black cases showed micro scratches, particularly on one of the two. The big secret on this issue - a soft liquid car wax and microfiber cloth. Works even better than the new "Plastix" type scratch fixers. RESULT - Windows 7, SSD, Fast CPU. From hitting the power-on button, it is 10-12 seconds to completed boot and ready to work!

1 of 5 Defective - crashes every 20 min Saturday, October 31, 2009
Stefan from Columbus  
Very nice looking unit, has everything I want for my intented use, BUT it's not stable. Something is wrong and I cannot track it down. It bluescreens randomly and reboots. Funny though, in the manual a previous victim has scribbled notes about support calls and numbers. Makes me wonder if reconditioning means repackaging... It's going back.

5 of 5 Excellent item and excellent shipping Friday, October 30, 2009
Marty from Rock Hill, SC  
I am tickled with this unit. While I am not a Vista fan the unit booted up and has preformed flawlessly in the first days of ownership. I have installed several games and other software and its fast as a cat licking its butt and the performance is exceptional so far. Well Worth the price I paid and shipping was much faster than I expected. 3 days from time of order to playing games and setting it up....

4 of 5 No Keyboard or Mouse Included Thursday, October 22, 2009
Ed from Raleigh, NC  
I got my unit and it seems fine. Only problem is that it does not include a keyboard or a mouse. SO, if you order one beware that you will need a USB Keyboard and a USB Mouse. I also don't like the way the hard drive is partioned, but I can live with that.
