We recently upgraded my departments computers from the old dust-covered dinosaurs and we all got these. The HP Compaq Evo D510. 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.

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 be very good for home, actually it all depends what you do at home, but if like me you enjoy a bit of gaming I would look elsewhere. The sound card and videocards are built into the motherboard and cannoit handle todays games. In fact I installed a reasonably old game onto this machine and while the game ran it was very jerky, I had to use a low resolution and the sound was terrible. If however you use your home computer for more grown up purposes this should be fine.
Pricewise i am not exactly sure but I am told they can be picked up for around £800. For a proper look at this machine and its equivalents go to www.hp.com.
Advantages: Reliable, quiet and space-efficient. Disadvantages: Not much room for expansion.
When I got my D510 a few months ago, more or less everybody in the office had a comment to make. Mostly along the lines of "That's cool isn't it?" or "How come you get all the best stuff?". To answer the second question, that's because I work hardest of course - but that's not important right now. What is important is that the enormous, noisy off-white monolith which used to dominate both my desk and my field of vision has been replaced with a tidy little piece of desktop art which, as well as looking good, has caused me the least trouble of any of the many PC's I've worked with. I'm a programmer and spend all of every working day with my computer, so without the right tool the job doesn't get done. This model isn't the most poweful in terms of processor speed or memory, but XP seems to love it and they get along famously. Here ...
