if you're on a budget this is the computer for you. with a pretty good CPU and ample disk space, if you onluy have $200 (more or less) to spend it is good.HOWEVER. WARNING: as i've been reading myself, every one of these are different and some are better than others. mine was nearly perfect. the disk is a bit loud when reading but not obnoxiously so.That all said, this pc leaves little room for improvement in its current layout. you can only fit slim GPUs in this (which by the way it doesn't ship with a graphics card). and even then nothing high end as the power supply is a measly 240w.if you're on a budget its a great value. just be prepared to change out virtually every thing as time goes on if you plan on upgrading. I would recommend a new case and power supply first.other wise, it works fine.
