Paul, Stoke-on-Trent , “Design or photo editing”

Score 9.0/10

+ Speed and visual quality. I use this machine for video editing, 3D graphic design, animation, audio studio work and full AV/Media production, including CADD and Digital Typesetting. The system is very responsive and copes well with the heavy demands made via this multi-tasking "Pro-user" environment. The workload can include simultaneously running MATLAB, Vegas Pro, Visual Studio 2008 and production support scheduling. All this and superb audio/video entertainment quality ... the Advent QC6003 is a dream machine.

- The machine has not been in operation for very long (since it is a very recent purchase) but to date, I have not experienced any bad points.

+ good base unit and capable of running most everyday tasks.

- I bought the unit to upgrade to a second gaming machine but the small case size and motherboard design caused overheating problems when i fitted a 9800GT 1gig geforce card, sorted now, but caused some issues initially.

Score 9.0/10

+ fast and straightforward

- remember that you need to connect everything via USB and no other cables will do so you need connectors if you have old monitor or printer- and PC world is a rip for these items

Score 9.0/10

+ Computer received in good condition and easy to set up.

- Only complaint is with the keyboard where two keys have the wrong upper case symbol. Also with the keyboard the white lettering on the keys has started to rub off after only three weeks.

- The slide down door to access the different memory card slots is cheap and feels likely to fail mechcanically very soon.

+ fast

- few problems with Windows Vista as in it not letting you log off from a user or switching user, and goes into a black screen. Only way to log off is by doing a restart.
