GREAT DEAL

PAID $59.99 FOR THIS ASUS SYSTEM, INSTALLED HARD DRIVE AND OPERATING SYSTEM. THIS LITTLE SYSTEM IS SURPRISINGLY FAST, WITH ONLY 1GB RAM, GOING TO UPGRADE TO 2GB SHOULD BE EVEN FASTER. HAPPY CAMPER AND WOULD DEFIANTLY RECOMMEND THIS SYSTEM TO OTHERS...

CLARIFY PREVIOUS REVIEW....

To clarify the previous reviewer....the reason his is >Loud< is because he did not download a special patch that ASUS released to calibrate the fan speed. I downloaded the patch a long time ago and my Pundit has been quiet ever since. It's a...

The Asus P1-P5945GC exceeds expectations!!! ”

I had recieved this item as a gift. So far I love it. I have Windows 7 installed, and I do have to say I'm very impressed with compatibility. Aero seems to work with the Intel Accelerated Graphics 950. The only issue I've had was with the Built-In...

New inexpensive computer

I highly recommend this very inexpensive small desktop for under $170 if you don't need a large harddrive. Product arrived on time but the DVD drive locked up when first used. Because I needed the computer right away, I replaced the DVD drive with a...

outstanding budget machine

use the asus bios update utility that comes on the drivers disk. Don't try and update it from the web. I always got the server is full error so I just manually went to Asus' website and downloaded the most up to date bios rom, opened up the update...

I've built 4 machines with this barebones system and all perform flawelessly. My most recent I completed a few days ago has an E4500 C2D cpu, a pair of corsair gig sticks of ram, a 500 gig western digital SATA drive and a samsung dvd burner. Simple,...

Voltage switch on back of power supply is NEVER set to 115v so you need to change that. Thankfully, they put an idiot sticker over the power plug outlet telling you to do this. also, as of this most recent build, though the system still functions...

Great little box

I'm very happy with the case. It was very easy to install my components into it. Ventilation is great. No worries about overheating. I will say the thermal paste that comes with it is junk. Be sure to order some arctic silver with the case.

Small form factor. Straight forward design. Simple and elegant. Easy install of components. Intelligent layout

It's a bit heavier than I would have thought, but that could also be a pro depending how you plan to use it. I don't like the exposed metal bottom where the stand attaches. If you're going to lay it horizontally instead of standing it on the stand...

Great little box

Built one for my daughter for college. Set up with a TV tuner card and XP media center. No cutting class to watch that favorite tv show (I hope). It takes full height pci cards, but long ones are a no-no. It's REALLY small, folks. Think one optical...

I have the blue version, but other than color it's the same. This is perfect for most who want a small pc. Very solid construction. Very quiet and cool running. The DVI output works fine on mine

No TV output, and only one SATA port. Needed a bios flash for processor, but did boot into windows

Its going back

I may have gotten a bum MB too. Vista would boot and work for a while but it would randomly crash and reboot for no reason. Seems to be related to video but I am not sure.

Nice size and quiet.

The ""full size"" PCI slots will not fit a ""full size"" PCI card. The plates fit but if the board is full size they will not fit in the case (they hit the bottom).
