This doesn’t come with a monitor? Oh well, it looks nice anyways.
I have a Media Center PC and it’s great for streaming stuff to by Xbox so I don’t have to burn my movies onto a DVD.
The specs seem pretty nice as well, it beats my computer, which I paid 1500$ for, not including the Monitor.
You would be better off adding an ATI 4850 but yes, it would be a very solid gaming rig with a double personality as a Media Center computer (HDTV tuner after all). You would need to remove the Nvidia drivers from Onboard video and install the ATI ones and make sure the power supply would be sufficient to power all the devices. I would worry about the PSU in the circumstance because HP is known to include very questionable quality PSUs.
I don’t trust HP anymore…I don’t really trust any computer company anymore, I just build my own, it’s really not all that difficult. Great price otherwise though.
Yes, but you may need another power source for the graphics card.
Some companies make models that pop into CD bay/5.25 inch slots, so check out one of those.
Aww… was looking for a new computer on woot but this one is just so-so on specs to savings. I could just build a new one for less and pop in my 8800 GTX.
