Manufacturer's product description
HP's award-winning Colorado 5GB drive is both available in internal and external versions. Both are easy to install, easy to use, and easy to maintain. With the ability to backup 3GB (external) to 4GB (internal) in less than an hour, these drives are fast! Installation is a breeze with HP's Install Assistant software. The software automatically detects your system configuration and gives you step-by-step instructions for installing your internal drive. Using the drive is just as easy as installing it. The 5GB drive lets you choose between one-button backup or automatic daily backup. The choice is yours-press a button and go to lunch. Or, schedule backups to occur automatically at the same time each day. Either way, all the data on your PC-including system software and office applications-will be backed up on a single data cartridge. (With typical data compression, this drive can store up to five gigabytes of data respectively on a single cartridge-more than enough capacity for all the data on most standalone PCs.) The HP 5GB drive uses affordable data cartridges making it economical for you to buy several cartridges and backup on a rotational basis. This drive possesses 2.5GB natural and 5 GB compressed capacity.

CARTRIDGE COSTS
The cartridge price depends on where you purchase them from, but range from £18.00 to about £25.00. As I have already mentioned, you will get approximately 500 pages from the cartridge, which if you take the middle of the road price, works out at about 4.5 pence per page. I have found that buying the cartridges online actually works out cheaper than buying them from a shop in the high street...

Compaq SR2125UK Review ofCompaq Presario Media Center SR2125UK - Pentium D 915 2.8 GHzby
matt_nichols
Advantages: Very Upgradable, Cheaply Priced, Very Reliable. Disadvantages: The nVidia 7500LE is by no means an efficent card, No front case fan.
...I have found the Compaq SR2125UK a very powerful machine, I bought it as a secondary machine from PCWorld back in May 2007. When I first bought it I didn't realise it's full potential of what it's very upgradable motherboard can have. It's processor which comes shipped with it is an Intel Pentium D 915 which is around one of the first Dual Core processors around and is now starting to age a little, but this machine will happily take any Intel Core 2 Duo's. It'll also take up to 4GB of PC5300 DDR2 RAM and any PCIe x16 graphic card (with a PSU upgrade).
So onto my first experience with this Compaq, after it had been delivered in a massive 4x4x4 foot box I was at first a little dissapointed to find a Micro ATX tower (smaller size computer) as alot of these towers which I've had experiences with have had cooling problems. So now all...

In addition, you may make further savings by buying 2 cartridge blister packs.
INSTALLATION AND USAGE RECOMMENDATION
Installing the cartridge itself is simplicity itself, simply lifting the cartridge cover in the printer, removing the used cartridge, and then clicking the new cartridge in place...
