Bernadette, shoreham

+ performance is really good and the keyboard and mouse although not even considered at the time of purchase are good also and despite being wired have long enough cables to give you plenty of freedom from the base unit.

- she is a big beast and has become somewhat of a feature in the room that she lives, the price you pay for the power though i'm afraid. the cats seem to like sleeping on the base unit so there happy
