Have almost always gone with HP when it comes to desktops and opted to try something different here with similar specs to what I'd gone with historically.  Not very impressed, overall ... and will probably stick with monitors when I shop Acer in the future.  Fine for general browsing and office work, less so for multitasking, meetings, gaming, etc. - loud, noisy and not nearly as fast as what I'm accustomed to from other brands (HP, Dell) with the same specifications.
