It has to be said that the box that holds all the important computer gubbins in this system lies somewhere just south of Hideous, mixing last century's beige with transparent plastic and metal bolts. You can make your own judgement based on the photograph above but we think this is definitely one to stuff away under the desk somewhere where you can't see it.

We have no complaints about the solid specification and the quality of the components and peripherals though, highlights of which are the beefy sub-woofer speaker system for solid sound and a decent quality Microsoft keyboard and mouse combination.

Verdict
It's a little light on the USB ports with just four available – two on the front and two on the back. However, it goes some way towards making up for this by including a FireWire port – coupled with the fast 7,200rpm hard disk. This would make a great value system for someone looking for a fast route into editing digital video.
