Pretty good machine - we use it for graphics work and it handles everything well. Plenty of expansion space for additional drives. quality build with excellent case. Hard to fault it really. we added a high end graphic card ( at £350) and it became a dream machine. Renders video and Adobe Dreanweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator with ease. My colleague swears by it and not at it. Wish I could say the same about my Dell laptop. There are some other good workstations out there but I would stick with HP. The workstation quality that was so apparent with the Compaq brand has not disappeared with the HP takeover. This machine will run and run - expect no less that 3 years usable life from this. When it eventually does give out don't throw away the case. It's almost worth the purchase price itself:o)
Advantages: Fast and silent Disadvantages: no built in Wireless
...I have never ran into any major problems with this machine, and highly recommend this to any user. Especially of your looking to use it at its full potential.
HP is a solid brand and the service is great especially if you have a warranty on the machine. ...
