Knew it was bad

November 21, 2010

Verified Purchase

I bought this computer aware it was a typical poorly designed layout. Maybe Dell designed it for HP! I had the replacements to make it work properly and it now does.

I would never recommend this model or maybe any mini unless you have the knowledge and access to the upgrades necessary. Why HP build such a piece of junk bothers me as a stockholder.

small profile, great value!

May 1, 2008

Verified Purchase

I bought this computer (refurbished from J&R) because there is no way I could come close to building it for the price! This small unit is fantastic! It's so compact & quiet, I keep it on my desktop. I was concerned about the AMD processor in the small case since they tend to run a bit hot, but I have had no problems with it; it stays cool. I did put a 2 GB stick in - left a 512 MB - for a total of 2.5 GB. Runs Vista without a snag. I couldn't be more pleased.

HP Slimline computer is fine, but Vista?

October 26, 2007

Verified Purchase

Computer works fine so far, but I question the new Microsoft program Vista. Was there a real need for this program or is Microsoft just interested in in getting a out a new program to sell more software?

I hate my hp!!!

March 2, 2009

I bought it in July 2007. In April 2008, 9 month later, it had a boot error. I was on the phone with hp for 3 month. They had me put in a new hard drive that they sent me and do a recovery. It was slow, which they didn't believe me. They told me it is because I had so much on the computer. First, I lost everything when it didn't boot up anymore and second I don't do that much on the computer. Then they tried to tell me that it is normal, it is a slow machine. I don't think it is normal that I can't do anything while Norton is scanning. After nights (because I have a fulltime job during the day) on the phone with them they finally took it in and looked at it. When I got it back it ate a DVD while I was doing the recovery discs. It just didn't open anymore. When I called them, totally frustrated, they informed me that now my warranty ran out. I called in July 2008. So now I have insult to injury. After arguing with them they did take it back and fixed it again. I got it back and it had been working okay for the last 7 month. Now my Recovery drive is red ( almost full). I don't save anything on it. I don't even use my computer that much. I put pictures, music and documents on it (the C drive). I went on the hp website and they tell me I have to delete everything that is not important for recovery of the d drive. I don't save anything on it and I have no idea what the other stuff is. I can't call them because they will charge me an arm and a leg. And frankly, I rather buy a new computer before I put any more money into hp.

Loud CPU Cooler Fan, Poorly-designed Case

July 31, 2010

I got this machine in an equipment swap. The basic system is okay as a "Slimline". I have assembled better quality Mini-ITX (E.g.[...]) and Micro-ATX (E.g. [...]) solutions.

If (a) the noise level is acceptable to you and (b) it performs well-enough for you, then you have no worries.

Best upgrade for performance: As usual with Windows, add more memory to stop disk-swapping and sluggishness. Max out the RAM to 2GB. Linux runs on it just fine with the shipped 1GB although I did upgrade it anyways in preparation for reselling the system.

My main observations are these:
(1) The case design is cheap. For example, to upgrade memory, I was forced to take out the Compact Disk drive which meant that I had to remove a sub-assembly for specialty USB devices. Lots of cheap plastic!
(2) There is one PCI slot and it comes occupied by a dial-up modem. You can discard it if you want to add a PCI-based option like an updated ATI or NVIDIA graphics card for an AMD environment.
(3) The 70mm CPU cooler fan (cheap!) makes a lot of noise. I would suggest replacing the entire Cooler + Fan to get a better cooling effect with less noise. Don't get it from HP or you will get another cheap solution. If you do this, you are looking for an AM2 form-factor cooler that is suitable for a small case.
(4) The only fans are for the CPU and power supply. It seems to work adequately with the off-the-shelf vertically-mounted CPU fan to get air flow line-of-sight to the out-take case holes. I would stay with a vertically-mounted CPU fan.
(5) The motherboard is a special case M2NC51-AR (HematiteXL) from ASUS. It isn't a standard Mini-ITX and it is not a standard Micro-ATX. Dumb. This might constrain upgrading options. So far, so good for me until I barter or sell it.

Good luck with this oddity from HP.

Small size, but prone to failure

December 31, 2011

In years 2 and 3, I have replaced the power supply three times at nearly $100/PSU. And now no video signal - the monitor powers on fine and works with an older HP and dell tower. The tower powers on, makes the typical startup noises but after the keyboard blinks, there are no (busy) lights signaling that the tower is attempting to access the hard drive. The CD/DVD bays opens and closes so power is obviously going to the drives; but nothing shows on the screen and the monitor says NO VIDEO SIGNAL. I already tested the unit with another monitor - same issue with no signal. Obviously now, after 3 power supply units, I have a video card issue right? Apparently the video card & motherboard are one unit so now I've got to shell out money to fix this!

The slim sleek design is NOT worth continuous parts replacements post warranty. I've had Dells and giant HP towers which lasted longer than these dinky towers. If you want a pretty looking computer and don't mind dealing with a slew of problems, go ahead and invest in a slimline HP. Otherwise, go with an Acer, Sony or Dell! Stay away from HP and their slimline product line!
