Advantages: Small Form Factor but still space inside Disadvantages: Cabling can be tight
We have 800 of these and so far they have been great. Reliability wise we have only had a few problems over the last 2 years where a couple of power supplies have popped.

Do not be scared of the small form factor - these boxes can still hold extra stuff. We had quite tight requirements for the boxes we needed. Basically, we wanted to add an IDE Raid card, an extra hard disk, and 1GB or RAM. All of this was possible inside this tiny box. The floppy can be removed as not many people use them these days, and in its place you can install another hard disk. The case does have the opening for the floppy on the front, but it doesn't look bad.

The only annoyance with the box is the mechanism for lifting the drives. Removing the case is easy, and the front lifts up to access the board under the drives. However, it often gets stuck when pushing it back down. The only way we've managed to get around this is to remove the little clip inside that locks it in place once it's open. This doesn't seem to occur on all boxes, I'd say 30-40% of them.
Advantages: Sleek Look, Very Good Spec, Easy to store, Disadvantages: Not a games machine
In Late July 2003 I got a new job at an IT reseller so understandably a home computer was now essential. As with any big purchase I shopped around and looked at the competition e.g. Dell, Tiny etc. As my parents had brought a Packard Bell seven years previously I gave PC World a wide berth knowing they were overpriced and the machines were sub standard.
Eventually one of my colleagues recommended a company that supplied many offices (www.microwarehouse.co.uk) and as luck would have it they had a sale at the time.
After browsing their stock list I eventually opted for a desktop CompaqEVOD510 with a Pentium 4 Processor, the cost of the base unit was scarcely believable at just £389. I also brought a 17 Inch monitor and an internal modem. The total cost was a bargain at just £608 Inc VAT.
The basic specifications of the machine ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Compaq Evo D510
Advantages: small form factor, cheap, fast, reliable, good support Disadvantages: lack of space to upgrade
When Compaq was bought out by HP, there was some concern as to the loss of the Compaq brand and a reduction in quality of desktop and server machines.
I am pleased to say that this has not happened. The CompaqEvoD510 is a worthy machine and packs a lot of power into a small space.
The basic specs of the machine are:
2.4GHz Pentium 4, 256MB, 40GB, CD-ROM, onboard sound, AGP Video, LAN, Modem, black case, TFT monitor
Available from £600+vat (even PC World are keeping prices on this quite low) the machine definitely has a lot of features for the price. Although not designed as a gaming machine, the PC will perform (though you may want to change the graphics card for the more demanding games).
The machine comes with a return to base warranty and this is a good all round solution for most people. If you want to upgrade ...
Advantages: Looks great, very fast Disadvantages: no good for gaming
We recently upgraded my departments computers from the old dust-covered dinosaurs and we all got these. The HP CompaqEvoD510. First impressions were great, it looks really nice with a dark black tower with a shiny silver front, and the flat screen monitor is a welcome replacement for the normal box that takes up half the desk.
The specs are as follows
1. Pentium 4 processor (2.4 Ghz)
2. 256 mB ram
3. 40 GB Hard Drive
4. CD Rom drive 48x
5. OS XP Professional
This machine has speeded up my day considerably, it is very fast and bearing in mind we use some large spreadsheets and a couple of large packages almost constantly, I think this is quite good. I no longer spend hours a day tapping my desk and watching that bloody hourglass.
However while I can quite happily recommend this as a workplace computer I dont think it would ...
