Advantages: Small Form factor, Lots of functionality, Quiet operation, 8 usb ports Disadvantages: Upgradability, Costly upgrading via mini-pci
The Acer AcerPower 1000 is a tiny, yet fully featured computer, standing only 6cm tall and 25cm wide!
The Small print
------------------------------
The most common problem with most ultra-small form factor computers is cooling and chunky external power supplies (Xbox 360 anyone?) But this is not a problem for this little box despite having a Althon 64 3500+ processor under the hood. Functionality?
----------------------
Not a problem here, ... ...4 of which are on the front! Not to mention the rear where you will find the 24pin DVI, VGA, PS/2 (Keyboard), Audio in, out, Mic and headphone interfaces! Also the unit has a Gigabyte (1Gb) 10/100 compatible ethernet connection for highspeed surfing! This unit really does put the Mac Mini to shame.

Manufacturer's product description
Designed for today's digital office, the AcerPower 1000 is small and stylish yet packs a powerful punch. This ultra-compact system has a physical volume of just over three quarts (three liters), about one-tenth the size of typical tower desktops. The almost-silent operation of the AcerPower 1000 (26 decibels, better than the industry standard) is conducive to a productive work environment. In addition, its low power consumption prolongs component life and reduces long-term costs.

I picked one of these up at comet on sale sue to a shop refurbished and as such got a display model for a bargain price of £299.99, excitement and a sense of smugness when other customers were piped to the post by me, ok it didn't have a box more
Go on admit it. You know you want a faster processor, but every time you check the prices you gasp in horror at what the current prices stand at. This CPU is no different, it is expensive to many consumers' minds and many cannot find a good enough reason more
very fast pc very good built in graphics and quiet given it 4 stars no proper technical support from acer on this machine i build pcs so to buy a complete unit for this price is very good but you probably want to put in a new graphics card but doing this more
