Nicely Priced HTPC! August 2, 2010
Confuzed Win User (usa)
After comparing the specs of this Acer packaged desktop, I did see the value was good. There is enough space inside for someone who likes to tinker (upgrade) for extra drives and such. Comes with a 1 Terabyte drive.
The optical 7.1 surround sound out did it for me as far as a home theater PC attached to my Onyko Home Theater. Very Nice!
The power supply has just enough Ummmph to run the GForce 9400 1 Gig video card that I had laying around. It fit neatly into the free PCI Express slot on the Motherboard.
Only disappointment so far is the stated memory (6 Gig 3x2 Gig for a total of 3 used slots) indicated that there would be one slot open (free to use), 4 Slots available, the memory configuration I found after opening the box was all four slots used (2x2 Gig and 2x1 Gig).
Picky people will know its better to have the same sized memory sticks installed.
I don't like having to re-purpose memory sticks at my expense just to upgrade memory. I am glad I didn't buy the extra 2 Gig stick at ordering... but?
Overall this Acer desktop is pretty good bang for the buck...

When I started this computer for the first time it would not boot from the installed hard drive, I had to enter setup and designate the internal drive as the boot disc.
The ATI on board video keeps changing my screen resolution and moving the icons to the left side of the screen, I updated the drivers but that did not fix the problem. Windows 7 did not have a 64x driver for my Konica Minolta page pro printer but one may be available from Minolta later this month.Did not have any other problems with this computer to date.
Competent but provide for some additional expenses July 12, 2010
Prakash Deshpande (Pune,India)
A very reasonably priced machine with above average specifications. However, no documentation at all. Also you will have to buy (a) wifi adapter (b) Bluetooth dongle (c) speakers and a few other items. Ridiculous card guard. You have to break the protective covers by twisting them back and forth rather than remove a screw.
 Great value. July 4, 2010
Angela & Tyler Y.
We purchased this computer for moderate gaming and to get something that should be fast for at least a few years. This definitely fits the bill.
Pros:
--The quad core processor is fast. I often window between large programs, and this does so quickly. (Random fact: it shuts off completely in about 10 seconds.)
--It's quiet. People who hate hearing fans will love the variable RPM that allows it to run hot only when necessary.
--We were able to install our own graphics card--Sapphire Radeon HD4670 1 GB DDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI PCI-Express Video Card 100296HDMI--without changing out the power supply. The HD4670 recommends a 350 watt power supply, but so far it works fine with the 300 watt that comes in the AM3300.
--There are connections for 4 USB, headset, and mic conveniently placed at the halfway point of the top of the computer. We're still not using these as there are also many connections at the back for components you're not moving around often.
--Not a lot of bloatware.
--There appears to be space for a 2nd optical drive for those who want to add a Blu-ray player later. I can't verify this with 100% certainty since we have not tried this ourselves.
--The price is right.
--Games are more fun. We can turn up graphics quite a bit and still have fast performance. Even with our mediocre monitor, they look 200% better.
Cons:
--Not always available from Amazon.com directly. With Amazon you know that you get the manufacturer's warranty coverage included in the price. Also, no sales tax to most states, which saved us a bit o' cash.
--The packaging it was shipped in (Acer's box) was a little odd. It was mostly protected, but one part of the computer was somewhat exposed (though still in plastic packaging).
--The 6GB of RAM is spread out in 1.5GB sticks in the 4 slots, which makes upgrading the RAM much more expensive. We were happy opting for the 1GB in the graphics card we purchased, and don't plan to upgrade the painful way.
--The little door that opens for the DVD player can come off easily in the right circumstances. We noticed this when laying the whole case flat to add the graphics card. It was easy to put back on, fortunately.
All in all, we're quite happy with it for the money. In truth, the integrated graphics card was good enough that we didn't really need to upgrade it for our uses. 4.5 stars overall.
Acer owners, check Your Warranty Expiration Date June 21, 2010

I bought mine from Frys for $499, everything technical is as good as others have reviewed. I took one star away because after I registered my desktop, I noticed Acer shorted me TWO months of coverage. After much email inquiries and asking for the same purchase information; I decided to drop my request for now and worry about it when I really need warranty service. Most likely I will get one of those Squaretrade Warranty instead.
Note: Acer owner can go online and enter the serial number to check warranty coverage.
