It has been said that the HP/Compaq Elite 8X00 Series computers are basic, simple, easy-to-service workhorses.  They are.  They boot up and WORK ... getting you online to order things from Amazon, for instance.  Or compose & print a letter.  Or check your e-mail.  The basics."Out of the box," I would not term this computer a "gaming" system -- for its primary focus has always been business-grade speed and reliability.  The 8300 Elite SFF does have expansion slots available for more RAM [up to 32 GB] -- and an external PCI/E graphics card that MAY turn it into an acceptable "gamer."  YRMV, and we are not using our system for gaming.This system is whisper-quiet, small & compact.  It also has a bunch of USB ports -- and significantly, a pair of the old-school PS/2 ports for both a keyboard and wired mouse.  We are old-school-enough end users to appreciate that, since we continue to enjoy using the old, reliable, clacky IBM Model M Buckling Spring Keyboards that are still PS/2-connector-equipped.The system is backed by a no-question return warranty of 90 days, and a "customer is responsible for return shipping / 1-year parts and labor" warranty from the vendor.  Nice to know -- but "knock-on-wood," I don't foresee any problems.In conclusion ... if you want a Win-10-Pro desktop PC system that turns on, stays on, gets you online & just "does the basics at a reasonable price," then this system is for you.  It is NOT the latest/greatest/fastest/feature-packed/bells & whistles/smoke & mirrors bonanza -- but as of right now, it seems to be rock-solid reliable as it competently does its job.  To that particular end, I could not want or expect anything more from a desktop computer system.
