- Noisy fan

Score 10.0/10+ i find the p.c easy to use, its very quick and responsive, and is a good looking machine,
- the facia is very easy to come away, which in turn causes the slide down door to stop working, and also the springs that keep the flaps for the dvd/cd player to shut come away, so you are left with the flaps open all the time, maybe the facia should be more rounded so there is nothing to catch when handling the unit.

Score 8.0/10+ Good spec for the money - 4Gb RAM is pretty good at this price point. Monitor surprisingly good too
- Fiddly around the plugs, very difficult to access two of the 4 USB ports because the monitor signal cable gets in the way. No USBs on the front. Keyboard very cheap and nasty

Helen, Hereford
Score 10.0/10+ Fast and great for using lots of different applications at the same time. Screen is very clear.
- Build quality is a bit poor in areas. The sliding panel on the front is difficult to open and close and the spring wasn't correctly fitted on the dvd drawer. May be a bit noisy for some - we hardly notice it as our old PC was very noisy but it is nooisier than some PCs.

Stuart, Milton Keynes , “Experienced IT Engineer/Director”
Score 8.0/10+ Value for money. I could't build it myself that cheaply. Worked out of the box and is adequately constructed with some room to expand if required. Runs Vista well, ao again performane is far better than my previous system which is only three years old.
- None really.

Wayne, Wrexham , “Happy PC buyer”
Score 10.0/10+ Excellent, high spec, multi purpose PC.Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
- Only 2 really but they're not major. Software package is very basic but I didn#t want or expect anything more, The PC is high spec apart from the graphics card which wasn't specified on the website. That said it didn't cost me much to upgrade the graphics myself.

Arthur, Birmingham , “Normaly build my computers ”
Score 8.0/10+ Fast, good amount of memory and storage
- Noisy fan, not enough drive bays, cheap mouse and keyboard (I would rather have seen the price reduced and supplied my own keyboard and mouse.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Web Designer”
Score 9.0/10
+
Extremely fast loading
Decent design of the tower
Plays all my games smoothly, these include games I was told it wouldn't play and when time comes to improve it it would still be cheaper than a high performance gaming pc and still as good. Great value for money!
- CD drive is slightly hard to close once open, monitor sound isn't all that great but manageable. (just need external speakers so no biggie) The silver sliding door is awkward at times, also the usb ports aren't the best as it feels like you could break them by placing usb devices into them. (same mic/headphones)
