This particular Acer PC tower received positive reviews on several sites I checked, the features were what I was looking for and then some, and the sale price was nice, too. The choice was clear.  It was super easy to set up, I've had it for a month and it has been flawless. It is hands down the quietest desktop PC I've ever had. It had only a little bit of pre-installed programs, all Acer not third-party.  For non-gaming every-day personal use, this model seems just great.
