It's worth every penny.  The SSD is on a RAID 0.  Not sure why.  I have no real complaints at this time.  I've owned it for less that one month at this time.  I use it to edit videos for my church.  Nothing really complicated but it handles the task easily.  HP did a great job of designing the air flow through the system.  Plenty of fans to keep it cool. The 850watt power supply is ample for expansion.  The video card could be improved but it works great for my needs with 3D CAD.
