For a small system, this HP s3600f PC sure has a lot to offer. First the memory (2GB in a box smaller than the one my size 11 Converse came in) is more than most would even get close to using up. The hard drive is 250GB. The media drive is interesting but I've yet to use it. Also, I've yet to use the LightSource technology. I can't really explain why but, the keyboard is a pleasure to use. Vista has not been an issue as I've turned off the annoying pop-ups. Overall this was a great bargain made better by the unfortunate demise of Cicuit City.
