This pc looks like it could fly to mars with its distinctive image - and wow it really does act state of the art. An excellent pc and specification. it was easy to get going but i did need to get help from acer support in installing my new hard drives i wanted to put in - acer support - 2nd to none with english call centres - keep up the good work guys and not overpriced at 50p a minute. back to the pc. it runs super quiet and the liquid cooling is really good. you do hear it on start up but it soon goes quiet. I've had to take off the pull over front cover though as it is bigger than my last desktop tower and just fits in the space in my desk unit. it would need to stand freely on the floor to be able to use the front pull over cover but it is easily removed by 4 little "knob" screws It is very fast and acer being acer as yet i have had no blips at all and its running very well. i work online and needed a top quality product to keep me going the next few years. I have had acer products before and really do like their reliabilty and support. I am very very pleased with my choice. I'm not all that technically minded to go into all the pro's and cons but i hope i have helped with my coments as well. the 1TG hard drive supplied is split into 2 x 500GB so c drive is inside the pc and d drive is in the first slot on the front. ideal for what i wanted as i personally do no like partitioned drives - a very good buy all in all. The gaming keyboard and mouse both look excellent and very complex but they are wired so i have not used them. i prefer using my wireless microsoft ones
