Summary: Good computer
Review: I purchased this with the F1703 monitor a few years back and its features are good and since the SP2 install I now have Media Center 2004 Edition! My only gripe about this PC is it only has 4 PCI ports which are all in use.

Summary: Great multi media package
Review: This pc has just about everything you can ask for, plus. And coming as a package, everything works out of the box. No worrying about trying to find drivers or trying to kludge something up. Very fast DVD/CD writer and even faster CD ROM. I'm used to an older, slower box and this thing is so fast at recording CDs that it actually started to irritate me. I would just start to do something else and it would be finished. After a month I'm still discovering some of the software that came with it. This XP Multi Media os is great, it is a superset of XP Pro. Like XP it is super stable. Just for laughs I hooked the TV cable up and the multi media was a snap to get working. I now have a mini tv working on my screen. Only small problem for me is that I have a Tivo (the world's second greatest invention after TV) and I can't completely hook up the tv guide function because I don't want this pc fighting with Tivo over control of the cable box. I'm very satisfied and I think it is an excellent buy for the money.

Summary: The New Realm In Media Fusion!
Review: This PC Rocks! The XP Media Center Edition 2004 is all you need to get the best of all media worlds! Digital Video, Digital Music, TV, Digital Photos, TIVO-like recording capability, and a whole lot more! I hooked this monster up to my 40 inch LCD projection and wow! It's even got a DVI out to enhance High Definition like quality display for newer and larger LCD/Plasma displays. As television and hi fi fused and eventually brought us surround sound, this is the beginning of a future of All In One Home/Work Entertainment. The standard television will sooner or later become obsolete. The future is now! I highly recommend this PC and once you get it, learn as much as you can about it's bells and whistles and maximize their use to get the most out of this system!

Summary: Couldn't be happier
Review: This PC was purchased for my wife. She was previously using an Athlon with a Sound Blaster Live Platinum and premium BOSE satellite speakers. I suspected the BOSE would provide better sound, even given the lack of a sub. I'm happy to say I was dead wrong.The sound on this system blows away my wife's old BOSE system AND the top-flight Altec speaker system / Turle Beach Santa Cruz DSP card on my DELL. It's absolutely the best sound I've heard from a PC. I haven't gotten much into the video side of things, given it's my wife's PC and we haven't had it very long. But I have to say, for the price, I couldn't have done better with a DELL - which, in my book, is saying something.

Summary: Good Computer but not great
Review: When I first took home the HP Media center it worked great. It was fast and options seemed unlimited...or so I thought. I have had this computer for all of a month and am experiencing problems that the sales associate promised I would not have. First off, my DVD/CD-ROM drive broke after the second week be fore I even had a chance to play a single DVD on it. Second when I did get it replaced...(After sending it in to HP)Every DVD I attempted to play on it caused the computer to stall and freeze and this was just 4 weeks after taking it out of the box! But I give this computer 3 stars because if you have DSL service this computer can really shine. It come with a remote...which I think is cool, the graphics on the desktop are great... and it really is fast..CD ROM aside of course. But I warn...if you want a really reliable long lasting computer you may want to look eles where.
