The HP 8300 Elite SFF came packaged very well in heavy duty, form fitting, bubble wrap.  Its very clean both inside and out.  It booted up very quickly.  It runs very quietly, quickly, and cool.  After running for a few hours, the HP 8300 Elite  was still cool to the touch.  Opening it up,  everything was still cool inside.  This really surprised me.  Every computer I have ever had, prior to this always got hot, or very hot. I"m very happy with this purchase.
