...you need to ring up Packard Bell and ask for the "master cd's" they will send you some cd's but the call charge is 75p* a min. That is on a BT standard line. The computer has a sound card built in and some speakers right across the front of the monitor. It is not very easy to open up and it is very very hard to get an exact motherboard. If you brake the keyboard or mouse belive me it is hard trying to ring up and get a new one so my advise is don't ... Read review

...custom computer. Good thing the Dell has a SATA port. And then it's portable. When we're about to present our thesis, we had no problems with carrying it, it's like carrying a bulkier laptop. And it really delivers. For your basic needs, you can rely on the Dell Optiplex GX270 SFF. It will deliver. ... Read review

Advantages: speed ,power,Design
Disadvantages: value for money

...were released. As soon as Apple released the updated Mac Pro in January, I picked one up. After using the iMac for so long, the Mac Pro was like a breath of fresh air. This machine is crazy fast. I loaded 10 GB of RAM into it and can pretty much have all my design apps open (mainly CS3) as well as run Parallels at the same time. I could never do this with the iMac. Overall, I'd recommend the Mac Pro to design professionals looking to run lots of ...

It's not a great solution (I can't save electricity this way) but I think it's worth it for the power of this machine. ... Read review

The gentleman showed me ...
...me that I should give up my Windows PC and to switch to MAC for my main uses of photo and video. If I was really stuck, I was told that Mac could run any Windows programmes I needed on it. My main intention was to leave the Windows PC for day to day use, and use the MAC PC for hobbies only - more of that later. However, a few weeks later, after looking at reviews and seeing the machine again, I took the plunge and bought the iMac - a decision I ... Read review
