Summary: Awesome Computer
Review: If you are looking for a computer that will be reliable and good for music, video, photos, and games...this is the one. We've had this computer for 4-5 months now and it's been great. First of all the media card slots are great. We own about 3 different digital cameras, all with different types of memory, making this feature great. I love the Microsoft Windows XP Media Center operating system. The Media is a great place to store all of my music (which i ripped onto the computer), videos, and photos. The Media Center also allows you to watch TV. And, if you don't feel like investing in TiVo, or DVR, this will do it for you. You simply go to the guide and chose the show that you want to record. If I was a some loaded celebrity and could buy anything I wanted, this would be a computer I would consider. I LOVE IT!!!

Summary: Either broken or too noisy to stand.
Review: My husband and I bought this computer yesterday. We hooked up everything, turned it on, and it came on with a grind. The grinding stopped somewhat after the computer booted up, but there is still a very loud buzzing sound. I always hear some fan sound when a computer is on. I have never, however, heard anything like this. There is either something wrong with the fans or this is the noisiest computer on earth. We will have time to return it to BestBuy, where we bought it tomorrow. And we certainly will.
