Advantages: solid barebone system

Disadvantages: Could do with extra PCIE slots.

I have just received my Dc5850 and i have to say i am pretty impressed with it so far. The best thing i found about this product as i am a bit of a techie is that windows xp drivers are also available for it "with a bit of googling". After slotting 2 gig of corsair into it aswell as an Athlon 64 X2 chip i had it puring like a kitten. The overall build quality as standard HP "which i solid enough". This is of coarse marketed as a business desktop but i would reccomend this for advanced home users as well. Its high end capabilities will present you with a solid foundation for future upgrade capabilities. Which is a major attribute to look for whenever you buy a computer. This pc makes a great foundation for any new pc build and i would highly reccomend it. Please note this did not ship with a monitor. Happy gaming :).

Summary: Overall a good system for advanced users. I would reccomend a higher spec for Power users however.
