Advantages: Great double as a stereo
Disadvantages: Needs more

...It should be noted that MSI doesn't guarantee compatibility for drives other than the ones they make. One caveat in the whole HiFi experience is that the moment you turn on your PC, the HiFi component turns off and the LCD turns into nothing more than a clock. It's true that the FM tuner can still be accessed under Windows by installing the software included in the Mega PC's bundle, but I find it more convenient to be able to just turn on the HiFi ...
...651 falls short. The Mega PC is an indication that MSI is in the right track when it comes to SFF PCs. It runs on a novel concept but is far from perfect. It's a good first try, but it's not yet enough. ... Read review

Advantages: Compact, speed, ease of use
Disadvantages: Business use only

...to remove and replace them. MSI have obviously thought hard about how to make the servicing of their computers as easily as possible. It is much easier to replace parts in this type of computer than in your average home pc! Reliability wise, these computers have so far performed well in our office environment. We have had one motherboard die, but out of a bulk of 60 machines that isn’t really too bad as the odd failure in a batch is to be ...
...performs very well and for business use, there is very little to criticise. Conclusion I would recommend this pc to anyone who is looking for a computer for business use. It is quick, reliable and easy to service. It is also well worth considering if space is at a premium as the dimensions of the computer are so compact.

Advantages: Good value, runs most common apps well
Disadvantages: Struggles with high intensity graphics apps and games

...nothing special here, quite typical Dell styling - neat and clean, but not particularly eye catching! Finally, high intensity programs such as professional design apps and games, this PC will simply not cope! Personally I would not recommend Dell for this as, having used a number of different models, come no where close to a custom built PC for the same price. ... Read review
