5.0 out of 5 stars Slimline S3430f for Home Theater, June 18, 2008
By Gizmo Buff (Westlake Village, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I have owned the Slimline S3430f for about 3 weeks now and have been impressed with the performance of this computer. It has a small form factor and can be mounted horizontially so it fits well in my home theater credenza. It is connected via HDMI to my Onkyo TX-SR805 receiver and then to a 50" LG plasma TV.

I have played Blu-Ray, HD DVD and standard DVD's on this system. So far I've only had one disk that was difficult to play but I was able to get it to work. I have a 5.1 sound system and it relays both Digital Dolby and DTS signals. Have not yet used high definition audio but that requires a 7.1 speaker set up on my receiver.

I have ordered WIN DVD 9 Plus Blu-Ray software. I am using the trial version of WIN DVD 9 now - its All2HD upconverting for standard DVD is incredible, better than my Oppo DVD player. The included HP DVD software is a stripped down version of Power DVD but the latest verion of PDVD will not play HD DVD disks unless you hack it.

I have also loaded over 150 music CD's on the sytem in WMA lossless format - good quality sound playback on the HP S3430F via Windows Media Player. First time I have had most of my music on computer and it really makes it a lot easier to access. Big benefit that was not considered when I bought the computer.

Its also fun to use the system to surf the net on the big screen. The S3430F does NOT include a wireless keyboard and mouse so I had to buy them separately - IOMEGA offers a 2.4 gigahertz model that works from up to 33 feet away. HP should have included something like this given that the system is designed for home theater and remote access is critical.

All in all I have enjoyed using the system. Lots of RAM, good sized hard drive, Windows Vista 64 Bit plus quad core AMD chip make it plenty fast and able to multi-task easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Are u looking for Powerful, stylish, small and very fast pc? I recommend this product 100%, June 8, 2008
What a product from hp? Like it very much, from the second I took it out of its box and when I inserted it into my LCD table like a dvd player, for the first time I see vista like an operating system instead of crab, high speed and performance running software and games smoothly I tried fifa 08 it works 100% and crysis at a normal and low resolution, and it works good too.
Wireless lan card also is a good feature as a desktop pc, nvidia vga card gives u a cool graphic performance and a perfect control of colors and brightness.
I should mention this: hp has a great chatting support 24/7 I spoke to them more than 10 times for another laptops cases and never takes more than 10 sec to receive an answer from tech..
Sorry for my English and have a nice time with ur great product u r going to buy :)

5.0 out of 5 stars I am so pleased!, June 6, 2008
By J. P. Olivier "traveling" (full-timing the USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I ordered this HP Pavilion S3420F Slimline with the HP 19" monitor and HP 4180 printer last Monday night, took advantage of the free offer of Prime shipping, got it all (plus the 3 softwares I ordered) on the following Thursday. Set it up in a few minutes, and within another few minutes we were on the internet with the built in WiFi and that beautiful big screen monitor, fantastic display, awesome! Got to admit we havn't figured out the TV tuner and some of the other features yet. We are so delighted with what we got, did quite a bit of research, very pleased. I have ordered quite a few things with Amazon and have always had good results even when we returned a watch, great response!
HP has a rebate right now if you order a PC and a printer on the same day (I called to verify this with HP) and from the same business (e.i. Amazon) I would get $50. back on this $85. printer. And Amazon has a deal when I ordered this PC that MSFT Office H&S is only $75.! Great deals!
I look at Amazon with confidence before I look anywhere else online.
