Honestly, I believe that this would have bee a great deal. I was pretty excited about getting this, because I do not have a lot of time on my hands and my mother has no one at home to help her with a computer anymore and so I was just buying er something simple. Problem 1; The machine came already set-up, but not in a case that looks even remotely like the one in the picture. It lights up and has a clear plastic side. Not what I wanted for my mother.Problem 2: Processor was hastily installed and about 15 pins were bent or broken beyond repair, and Visionman refused to take back the processor alone, I would have to sent the whole system back. It would take another month before I ever saw a new system. INstead Its not only cheaper, but its more efficent for me to just buy another one.... so tack on another 50$ to the price tag.Other than those two EXTREMELY Major issues, the rest was fine.

This thing is great especially for the money. My mobo fried on my last PC so I ordered this installed the HDD, some memory and the DVD drive from the old unit and was up and running in 15 minutes. Now I have a much better processor and greater speed for a great cost. thanks Tiger

Awesome barebones kit. Arrived 10 days before it was expected from the manufacturer. This has more features than what is listed (i.e. - fan funnel from the processor, and more). Easy to remove (although hard to see) front covers for adding drives or accessories. Plenty of room to work, easy to install HDD and other components, and has plenty of spots to use zip ties for neatness. Lots of power connectors for whatever you need. System is EXTREMELY quiet, with plenty of air flow. Overall, 5 stars across the board - I would order this again for my next build.
