HAPPY THEN, HAPPY NOW. First VAIO bought, now own 3.

Good Platform to build on

I've been a computer techie for 25 years. I bought one of these CPU boxes without the extras--no keyboard, mouse, monitor, or remote as an open box special thinking it would be a good base to build on--I have been happy with it. I pumped up the...

Happy with the purchase

I bought mine as an open box from Circuit City. It was the second open box I'd purchased--the first and HP was DOA. This one has worked great. All I purchased was the CPU box, no externals. I'm a computer tech and like to modify and upgrade systems....

Reliable, easy access to internals, multi-media and XP Media Center, multi device inputs on front. ALL but SD cards-which I use. It also have extra video inputs including S-video and USB on front.

Some of the software could be better. The media center software does not have a 30 or 60 jump ahead feature to avoid commericals. No ext 3.5" bay-I'd rather lose the floppy drive and gain the bay.

3 hard drives, 1 Motherboard, 1 Monitor

I am so angry about this machine and SONY REFUSED to admit it is a lemon. I have had it only 24 months. I beg you to Read on before you purchase a SONY. I bought this machine due to the media center and all the percs, but mostly for the Sony name....

Sony VAIO RZ44 Desktop

I've been selling more than 20 units of this SONY VAIO model and haven't receive any negative feedback from buyer yet. I own one of this VAIO for my video editing hobby also. Documentation for the unit and software installed can be found within the...

Completed all-in-one powerful system. Great performance and stability. Great for video editing task. A lot of USB slots (7 total).

No printed documentation but they all available within the system itself under the VAIO HELP Utility program.

General overall usage

I was a bit leary in regards to this PC after reading some of these reviews, however, I am just a "General" user, I'm not using this PC for a business, just to have nice, easy to create pictures and videos on discs. After toying around with this PC I...

Only 4 Stars because I've not yet tackled VHS tape to DVD

I bought this unit after I read the other reviews, posted by those good people who took the time to share their opinions and helped me decide, as well as be informed as to what to expect. So now I want to share my experience in hopes that I might be...
