I made this machine my unique baby about 4 days ago and, so far, it has been nothing but fun. I bought this at my local Frye's for [...] with a BFG GeForce 210 ([...]) to replace the contemptible Intel onboard graphics. The total was [...] with tax out the door, and I do hold I got my 700 bucks worth.
Out of the box, this thing is aesthetic and setup would establish a Mac to shame. I upgraded from a single core, Celeron 3.0GHz, and the quad Core2 is something to observe. The Q8300 chip it has is the most power efficient of the quad Core2's and it shows in how nearly mute this PC is. Quietest PC I have ever owned/seen except for laptops.
After I got it up and running and could peer that all was well, I installed the GeForce 210. Install went ultra tranquil and DVD playback was immediately improved. I installed an dilapidated copy of FarCry and status the graphics to their highest settings - the game played smoother than I have ever seen it before.
Unfortunately, the video card does add a fan and the system is no longer calm, it is unexcited very tranquil though, and you must do this for graphics that match the performance of this system. It is well worth it and you add an HDMI port in the process.
In the future, I understanding to simultaneously upgrade the 300 watt PSU and the video card with the BFG trade-up program. That should be fun.
Awesome power (8GB of DDR3), unruffled, Windows 7 - this thing rocks!
