I bought this as a back up PC for my small office. I wanted something that I could use in tandem with my laptop that is a little slow due to all the "stuff" on it. I received this PC, upgraded to 4Gb ram and this thing rocks. I use it as my main PC now for surfing the net and basic computing needs i.e. Word, Excel etc.Not a high end gaming platform for sure, but a good "beater" Think of it as a good, reliable Honda Civic!
