Good value for the money as far as the monitor goes. i5 processor is kinda slow for today's web, so I kinda wish I went with something bigger. Still good value for the money. But the keyboard and mouse are horrible - they are branded United PC-Tech (same as merchant) and they aren't worth anything. On the keyboard is tall and the keys require lots of travel... and you must push the keys down all the way otherwise they won't react. It will drive you nuts if you are used to using a Surface or any laptop. The mouse... get this - it isn't level!! Who sells a mouse that isn't level!?? How do you even manufacture a non-level mouse? It wobbles back and forth like a chair with one leg too short. These components were obviously taken off of China's trash heap, the merchant probably got them free or for cents on the dollar because they are worth less than the bag and zip tie that came with them. All in all, value for the tower and monitor is good, but purchase a mouse and keyboard separate.
