I bought this for a client PC to another dealer but often buy on Amazon - they are great. The first one I bought was not started for me a mistake to HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) suspect a bad hard drive could not - new operating system from the hard drive, so far back in the shop is gone.
2. Computer is working very far. You can not beat the price (I paid $ 299), but the reason I'm writing is because there is a place to install a second hard drive set up, but I found a good compromise.
You can use a second IDE (PATA) drive add. Use the standard ribbon cable, connects the blue connector on the motherboard, set the unit to master. On reboot, go into the BIOS and set the original drive back to being the boot disk, otherwise it will try to boot from the IDE disk. I "installed" the 2nd hard drive using the DVD. Can not be accessed from the front, even if it takes out the front plastic. I had to pull the plug, but that was easy (for the tab view in the front, you have to press down and got after removing the screws. The 2nd. Drive fits very comfortably on a DVD player. I do not put screws, and it works very quiet. Now, here is no guarantee to do so at your own risk. It could be very hot there, but I think it will be fine. This method remains second DVD drive bay if you want to add, you may notice a another recorder. Note that these add a small power supply such things to the limit.
