got this computer 4 months ago and it looks great - perfect for shelf under large tv.
this issue is it runs EXTREMELY hot so i had to always leave the doors open on my tv stand.
also, due to problems with vista and poor driver support for this unpopular tv tuner card, the tv tuner will not work for some setups (search forums for avermedia m792 to see what i mean). i will try windows 7 to see if i can get it to work

I had this computer only a month when the mother board died. I had to ship it back to HP for repair and I was without my computer for about a week. It worked for 5 months and the mother board died again.

Months later I finally got a clean reformat and the system is JUST up and running as best as HP and Vista ... Read More
