OK in all fairness I can't expect this computer to be as good as most brand new computers on the market today.However this tower was a whole lot more than I expected. I am a moderate computer user. Build websites, photo/video editing etc.So far I haven't found anything it won't do.Only problem I've had at all was after about 4 days all the back usb slots quit working (at the same time). Fortunately I only use 3 usb spots (mouse/keyboard combo and 2 external drives. So it wasn't a huge deal.  ****update**** The usb slots started working again after a couple of reboots. *****Was a little tricky to get all setup the way I like things but after a few days am flying through my jobs.If you need a good solid system to get you through the day this is the computer for you. 8 gigs of ram is so much more than most of the refurbished computers offered on here.Of course I would love to put more in it eventually right now there is nothing I plan on changing on it.It was package extremely well, came earlier than expected. And worked perfectly right out of the box.Seriously grab this! Even if you just want a back up and/or extra computer or need a replacement...this is a great system. These older systems were workhorses and would run when nothing else would.Will buy again and definitely would recommend.*****UPDATE*******Almost 1 year running this PC and have had ZERO problems.The UBS slots I reported as stopped working, started working again after a couple of restarts. I'm thinking it was most likely some of the drivers I had installed with other things.This PC will be a great buy for most everyone. Yes you need more power and such for some things but for the everyday user, photographer, blogger, podcaster etc. this unit will serve you well. There are a lot of upgrades you can do on it when necessary but to start off this is just the ticket.I have dual monitors hooked up, bought a usb bluetooth adapter and camera and haven't had to change one single thing.I am planning on buying a second unit soon.If you are short on $$ this is one of the best starter towers you can find!**********.*********3rd Update, 11 months later and I have had zero problems.In fact I just ordered a 2nd unit. I plan on ordering 2 more before long.Seriously if you just need a cheap computer that does just about anything, this is your must have! I have a regular monitor connected to it, then I have a 2nd monitor through the HDMI and can share the desktop between.If I want a movie or something running while I am working I just put the movie/TV show on the second screen and have a clear desktop to work with.I haven't found any of the programs I use for website building, video editing, music/editing, podcasting and so much more.*********
