I bought this with the intention to install a discrete graphics card, however the stock PS had zero pci-e power cables. So, I ended up buying a new PS and installing it. At this point I discovered that the DVD drive uses some micro/mini 6 pin sata power cable that almost new power supplies have. So, I managed to get graphics card installed (after half hour of disassembling crazy case) only to find out I needed an adapter to connect the dvd drive. I called ACER and the person I reached had no idea what I was talking about, so I ended up blowing another 9 dollars to get an adapter. So basically I bought this PC to save money, but ended up spending more to get another PS and an adapter. Otherwise the PC works fine so far. The lack of case fans concerns me a little, but I have a graphics card that vents outside, and the new PS has a fan intake facing the MB.

I gave it a tough weekend work-out. As a bare bones simple business computer its fine, ACER keyboard is very cramped but it is definitely fast enough motherboard. The video card is very disappointing, I have old XP machines that do better with movies and rendering websites than this machine. I also have an ACER TC-780, which seems a much better performer in several respects, and competently trouble free - which is why I bought a back-up ACER. Im betting is will be a long-term solid, yet simple, work machine for docs and spreadsheets...but I dont expect much more.

I wanted to give this a higher rating, except for one problem. It had a horrible DVD/cd slot. The slot is vertical instead of horizontal. This means that you have to feel around with the DVD to get it mounted correctly. Then you have to slide the door shut because it wont shut by itself. The door itself is poorly marked and you have to feel around to get it to open. To top it off the DVD/cd system feels very fragile like it wont take any stress. Ive only had the computer a day and I spent most of that loading pictures and this system made that time consuming. The computer is very fast and that is the only problem so far, but it has been enough.
