The SD drive does boot it up RIGHT NOW!And somebody finally decided to put in a SATA drive with real capacity.I don't do anything to make a computer work very hard, and this has never balked at anything.I wish it had a CD/DVD writer instead of just a player, but, oh well.I also wish it'd come with max memory, but nobody ships with that. I asked about some customisations (like more RAM and such, and they told me that the boxes were already in Amazon warehouses, so they couldn't do anything like that. Seems reasonable.Tech support is quick to answer. Takes some work to get a really straight answer out of them sometimes, but they will help. (I think one weekend I got a janitor just goofing around on his break, but Monday morning they came through.)The memory it uses is hard to find, for some reason. Crucial was out, but Amazon found some Crucial sticks that I snagged up. (Just before the price jumped another 50%)Everything inside is nice and open. The drives are easy to get to, for cleaning or installing more. (Once you figure out you have to kind of reef on the tray to get it open.) Good access to expansion slots. 2 display ports is nice. No HDMI port. Just VGA (and the 2 DP's) I have one monitor on an HDMI adapter, and another with a DP input.  both were just straight plug and play with no adjustments necessary.All in all, I'm really glad I bought it.
