No HDMI port, no blueray drive and a shitty graphics card is a deal killer. I have the same graphics card in my laptop why would I buy a desktop with same specs lol
I think a real limitation for this box would be lack of open bays for adding drives. If you want BD drive you have to give up the existing CD drive, and if you want an SSD you might have to give up the SATA drive.
With Windows 10 being free when its GA, you don’t have to worry about that.
ETA - agreed on the great refurbs comment. I’m going on Year 7 of my current HP refurb desktop.
I’ve been thinking of retiring it but this will require a lot of time to get it to where I need it - upgrade SSD (and reinstall OS/software), upgrade to max RAM(16/32GB), upgrade graphics (I need it to support 4K display in 4:4:4 at 60Hz atleast), and upgrade PSU. I don’t have that kind of time to research, and tinker right now.
