...and then I noticed this hp Compaq and thought to myself..."Why not review this one too?" So here it is, a review on the HP Compaq Business Desktop dc5100. The design is similar to the Evo but not quite the same, with the USB slots being more visible, and the fan being slightly different on the external.

...again even if they did hp are well known for good customer support and excellently detailed manuals. However for all it's advantages it does have the odd gripe, there's only a small hard drive (like the evo), so don't expect to be able to store an infinite amount of music and videos.
