I am a PC fanatic and I love to build them and I must admit that this Sony computer is the best for the buck. I purchased my computer in November 2001 and I have no problems what so ever. I have already installed a second 40 GB hard drive, a 32MB AGP...

Purchased this computer two weeks ago and have had nothing but problems. I've owned five other desktops and have never encountered such issues with a new computer. There is some incompatibility with the pre-installed software. We've re-installed the...

Good buy!

I've only had my vaio pcv-rx540 for one day now, but in terms of setting up and getting started with it this has been a pretty good computer. I haven't had any problems whatsoever (not that you would expect any during the first day) and have been...
