Advantages: Easy to update chipset, 8 High Speed USB2 Ports Disadvantages: Reports of difficulty removing case, Slightly awkward component placement
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 Using some of the latest Intel Technology it won't be outdated any time soon and the 915 Express chipset is easily updatable with virtually any component (you won't be able to fit a full size graphic card in though)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 ... ...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: 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 ...
