    Pros: * Six-Core CPU
    * ATI's 5xxx Series Dedicated
    * DVD-RW
    * Front Ports for USB / Audio
    * SPDIF Output (Or however it's spelled)

    Cons: * Very compact
    * Back chassis has no fan
    * No front area for a fan
    * Very low-end power supply (450W) - Minimum for the graphics

    Summary: This is a good in-store computer that often beats most other computers out there. It may have 2.6 GHz six-core, but the 2 extra cores more than enough make up for that. Yes, you won't be doing heavy desktop recording with this, even with a GTX 470 upgrade. But, it does some pretty heavy lifting otherwise. The processor it holds (1035T) is no longer on AMD's processor lists, so as soon as it came out, the processor was basically dropped from the support line. I would recommend to wait on this purchase if you just want to get it for the pure power it has, there are other things coming soon, and I would rather recommend a custom computer with a HAF-X Case and a GTX 5xx or ATI 6990.

    I've had big problems with this machine, and with ASUS support. Are you still enjoying your machine?
