Best value for this price range
Reviewed by Michael Reid. Review Posted 24/12/2009
The review before has not bought this machine. I can tell because he actually gives a compliment on the HDMI support, when that was something I was going to criticise.
This machine is the best spec I could find in this price range. The above average graphics + above average CPU + above average storage + above average media (blu-ray) + average memory + average motherboard was the best combination available. Everything else in this range was below average in at least one of those categories.
In terms of connections the specs lie. It has DUAL DVI output with both a VGA and a HDMI adapter included - so you can't have 1 x vga + 1 x DVI + 1 x HDMI as expected. You can have a combination of two of the above.
My other problem is the HD - it's the noisiest HD I've had in years. I got round this by installing Windows 7 on the second partition which reduces noise by 50%.
Overall I'm happy - I still don't believe I could get better for my money and would buy the same PC again.

Great PC - £32 "Free" Upgrade to Windows 7
Reviewed by Andy. Review Posted 05/11/2009
Nice PC for the price. Really happy with my purchase. Upgradability is a bit limited as the case is quite small but is perfectly functional out of the box. I had no problems with delivery either. I have one gripe though, and it's with the advertised "free" upgrade to Windows 7. Although at a glance it appears you'll be charged nothing for the upgrade you are actually charged for "Order Processing and Media Creation" @ £22 and "Cost of despatch" @ £10, which in my eyes is far from free and even though it does say in the small print that you'll be charged for these things I didn't really imagine it would amount to this cost. Quite disappointed and at no point does it indicate the cost of this upgrade. I might have waited until machines are built with Windows 7 on them if I had known. Also, you won't get your Windows 7 soon either. Quote: "The despatch will probably start in December 2009." Hmmm, probably, there's a reassuring word.

Specs are Gr8 .. Compatability V Poor

Pros: 1. High performance processor 2. Decent RAM and graphics. 3. HDMI a Plus 4. Blu-Ray is good if you can find many DVDs or dont mind spending on them. Cons: 1. Intel Processor Q8200 does not support virtualisation. Which means you cant even run Windows XP mode on it. This even created problems with VMware. 2. RAM not upgradable. 3. BOIS a pain (need to burn a CD to update it). Since the default OS is Vista and we all know about Vista. It freezes up for no reason and if you try to shut from holding the power button, the BOIS resets and so does MBR, which looses OS detection and it then starts Fujitsu Internal recovery. Happend 3 times. 4. NO windows 7 drivers on Fujitsu. Says Windows 7 and windows XP not supported 5. Motherboard has bad reviews everywhere. Need i say more?? Research throughly if you still think u like it. & Hey!! Windows 7 is free as long as you pay £33. :-)
