I bought this low-priced computer with expectations of a relatively poor quality machine. My expectations were unfounded as I soon realized when I received the computer. It works very fast, it has a large memory, and a large hard drive, and is easy to handle.

I have been very pleased with the performance of this computer. It has all of the features that I need with the exception of a few, an example being, microsoft word. It performs quickly, with any internet connection speed, and is capable of multi-tasking without slowing, performance.

The computer arrived with a physically broken mouse, but a replacement was shipped within the week. We seemed to have to go through several layers of evaluation and communication from Overstock, but it was pretty hassle-free in the end. Getting the right video card for it took some searching, and if you are unfamiliar with the different kinds of video cards that are available, the different kinds of slots in desktop computers, and the needs of current games, it takes some searching to find the right card. . I was disappointed that no documentation was included in the box, nor was there even a link from the Overstock site to a source for a manual for this computer. I managed to find the information online, but verifying it pertained to my particular model took longer than I would have liked. . In addition to the broken mouse, the included keyboard is almost certainly not equivalent to what the manufacturer originally supplied in anything but color. It's thin and flimsy and I would be concerned if it was going to get any heavier use than what I expect it will have in the near term. . But it is now playing the games it was bought to run and overall we're happy with it.

The IBM desktop is a very good buy for home use without paying a lot of money for computer . Very easy to install and get on line as I use a network in my home as we have laptop and for my wife`s computer.

When Microsoft dropped Windows ME support I began to think seriously about upgrading to XP. I had several years of experience with my current IBM NetVista and decided to look for the same configuration but with a Windows XP operating system. I found exactly what I was looking for at Overstock : Windows XP operating system, a faster processor, the Desktop format I wanted and in the price range I wanted. The unit is extremely quiet and the increase in access speed a real pleasure.

I ordered this computer for my Dad who was using Windows 98 becasue his new printer he bought wouldn't work so he needed somehting from this decade. This is a great replacement computer for basic computing needs, and since XP was included it was an easy sell. One note, the keyboard came broken...probably from shipping.

This is a very nice basic system. Performance is good, setup was very quick and easy, and there have been no problems with it. I've spent large amounts of money buying new systems every two to three years and have always been disappointed in them. I have a feeling this machine will change the way I buy and use computers. A basic good, reliable system with addons purchased as I need them will most likely save me a lot of money and more importantly, save a ton of aggrevation.

Overall. this is a decent computer. However, the usb ports don't recognize any of my peripheral equipment. I'll still give it 4 stars because of the price.

The system will access the internet but it appears to have very, very limited capability for adding more HDD, which is very important to me. I maintain a 4 computer network system totaling 1.3 TB of HDD space. I added a 1GB Kingston memory stick (the best memory available) and the system faults out 2 or 3 times a week. I expected better overall adaptablity to my current computer networking system from an IBM machine.

Needed a newer machine to handle music/recording/MIDI projects, with XP to support newer software, and so far this model is suiting the purpose perfectly. Immediately upon receiving this item (received only 2 days after placing an order with Overstock), I upgraded the RAM to 2 Ghz and added an Audigy 2sz sound card. It's a good basic computer upon which to build, with room to add 2 more soundcards and another harddrive if need be. The PC runs super quietly (I can barely hear it while it's running), being ideal for recording projects. I am immensely satisfied with this transaction with Overstock, which was prompt and hassle-free. Glad I took the plunge.

Excellent - Five Stars I am extremely happy with my my new computer. The computer, monitor and keyboard are all above satisfaction and makes my experience working with a computer very enjoyable. I would (and do) recommend Overstock.com to everyone I know that would be shopping for just about anything. Any communication I had with Customer Service was very positive. Thanks for a great experience - keep it up.
