Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Did not work.
When I got the computer, it did not boot up. Tech Support was no help. My best guess is that the hard drive was fried. Returned it to Amazon for a refund.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Value Gaming System
I purchased this system new about a year ago and it has performed well. You could definitely use it out of the box for all but the most graphics-intense games like Half-Life 2, FEAR, etc. The case is great and I like the card reader in front and the firewire and USB ports on the top.

Personally I upgraded the memory to 1gig, replaced the video card with a GeForce 6600 GT and added a few more hard drives. Now I can play most games with the maximum video settings.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good base to build on
I love this case. The system comes with a solid group of components and with a couple minor upgrades you can have a real fast system for under $1000. Just upgrade the video card and set up a Raid 0 array for the hard drive and this system screams. There are a couple things to watch out for. While it does have a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard the bios is not upgradeable from MSI. I have a problem that seems pretty common with this motherboard and I believe has been solved by a bios upgrade but you ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent Computer System and Value! HP Compaq X GX5050
This machine would be great for a gamer platform and here's why. I built a similar game system using an Intel 2.8ghz P4 for more than $1500 with this case(Coolermaster),sound card and a 120gb harddrive. The case does not come with a powersupply so I had to buy one. Anyway the case, Powersupply, motherboard, sound card, 120gb harddrive, keyboard and mouse alone cost $779. Adding the 256mb video card, 1 gig of memory, DVD burner, modem and card reader was an additional $800 for a total of almost $1600 ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - HP Compaq X GX5050
I was most disappointed with this item and returned it for a refund. The unit arrived in what appeared to be good condition, but when I set it up it did not have video. I tried two different monitors but still nothing. I called HP Compaq tech support but they were no help. They tried to tell me that I had no warranty and that the problem was with my monitor. I felt that I had no choice but to seek a refund and will never buy one of their products again. I do appreciate Amazon.com's policy of customer ... Read More
