Full review
I was strapped for cash but needed a newer system so after some searching and weighing other systems I chose the E520, I opted for the 2.8 ghz Pentium D since the new core duo's only cost more than anything. Once I got it i threw in a new video card. Here was the only problem i ran into with the whole system. There was only a 305 watt power supply, yeah 305, not 350. The thing is it has pretty good ventilation and space internally so I'm going to end up tossing in a new psu. But for all those mom and pops out there, or some one not power hungry this system is excellent. If you like to upgrade you stuff, this one has pretty good amounts of space inside.
