The HP Compaq Business Desktop is a sleek designed PC that is ideal for use in the office or home office. Using some of the latest Intel Technology it won't be outdated any time soon and the 915 Express chipset is easily updatable with virtually any component (you won't be able to fit a full size graphic card in though) especially as it comes with 1 Processor Socket, 4 Memory DIMM 184 Pin Sockets and 4 PCI Slots.
You get an incredible ... ...supply and it's cumbersome trying to get to it.
All in all though, the HP Compaq Business Desktop Dc7100 is a perfect addition to anyone's office and for virtually any use. It sits with quite a hefty price tag, still, though but worth the money.

The HP Compaq Business Desktop is a sleek designed PC that is ideal for use in the office or home office. Using some of the latest Intel Technology it won't be outdated any time soon and the 915 Express chipset is easily updatable with virtually any component (you won't be able to fit a full size graphic card in though) especially as it comes with 1 Processor Socket, 4 Memory DIMM 184 Pin Sockets and 4 PCI Slots.
You get an incredible 8 USB2 ports which is more than virtually any multimedia system on the market. The 3.2GHz Pentium 4 Intel Processor delivers a bucket load of power at a lightning fast rate and with 512 MB of DDR SDRAM you'll have to go a long way to find this system's limitations in office use.
The descktop design is a wonder of modern black and silver aesthetics and you can pick the case you want as well as the operating system (you can either select Unix OS if you like).
It houses an Intel GMA900 Graphics card with a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 and gives you access to CD-RW DVD-ROM combo with a read speed of 48 times. Built in speakers and an 80GB Serial ATA-150 Hard Drive wrap this neat little bundle up and packs it with an incredible 3 year warranty.
There have been reports that the case is incredibly tight and difficult to get off for those who may want to update it for any reason, and some of the components are in slightly awkward places; namely the Hard Drive is right under the power supply and it's cumbersome trying to get to it.
All in all though, the HP Compaq Business Desktop Dc7100 is a perfect addition to anyone's office and for virtually any use. It sits with quite a hefty price tag, still, though but worth the money.
Advantages: spped and RAM capability Disadvantages: Ugly design
...and an impressive FSB, this HP makes its predecessors look like children. For the average business however, this may be a little bit too much computer. Most businesses do not need this much computer. My workplace for example have 3 of these and all we ever do is use one website as an inventory directory, and the occasional google.com search. Too much computer. However, for the privce, its a good deal, but ask yourself, do you need to pay this much ...

Advantages: Fast!! Disadvantages: Not the biggest RAM (512)
This compact business desktop comes with an exeptionaly good hardware on board, when compared to the other desktop I have tried out. This machene comes with one of the fastest CPU speeds available today on the market. Graphics card is only 64 MB but that wont mater in the business world, at list You can be sure your emploees wont spend their time playing computer games while you pay them money, although most games will work with 64MB graphics card. ... ...not included in the package. It all depends where you buy it, or judging that you are looking at a web page- who you buy it from. This PC comes with Windows XP operating system which will make it easy to use even for new, or inexperienced people ( they will learn fast!)
Hard drive space is acceptable for most common office work type. And CD-Re writer will enable your emploees to give you large documents on a CD. All-in-all this is a very good solution ...
