I can't recommend this Desktop to anyone interested in hassle-free computing. The owner of this PC(the boss of my friend) has had this computer for a few years now. Before he started getting Blue Screens of Death there was a problem right from the...

HORRIBLE COMPUTER! [6/16/09]

I bought this computer 18 months ago, and overall my experience with HP was horrible, the support is terrible, no help at all, and not to mention the hard drive is VERY LOUD, and the performance is slow, I don't recommend this computer for gamers since...
