A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

Good price. Not sure about the gloss though.
woow and elite level pc with DDR3 ram that starts at $599? good prices
Yeah, also check out it's amazing GPU.
>NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE GPU
No.
Yep. There's always some part of these that's plain garbage.
I was thinking the same thing. The 6 series should be banned from use in computers...it's been years and years since they should've died lol
How easy is it to upgrade slimline PC's? Or... can you do it at all?
when I last checked, they didn't come with an x16 slot, so no video card upgrades, so that sucks. And you can't really upgrade the CPU much further with it's proprietary cooling solution and power supply
What do you want to upgrade?
Generally they have one or two lp pci slots, and 1 or 2 dimm slots, not much else.
Some of them come with x16 slots, but can only be fitted with the half-height cards. I don't know specifically about these models though.
that's actually the advantage of the NEW slimlines, they can be outfitted with REGULAR SIZED PCI exapansion cards
Awesome
"...While the $599+ Pavilion Elite e9000 offers up a larger case along with an AMD Phenom II X2 545 CPU, 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 500GB HDD, 512MB NVIDIA GeForce G210 CPU and a 15-in-1 card reader"
When did Nvidia start making CPUs? Think you made a typo there :P
There's the Nvidia tegra...
And the GPU-CPU is getting a bit gray, check out nvidiia cuda minisuper computer. Is still need a separate cpu to work but dont think there's anything that would stop making a pure GPU computer if somebody wanted.
OMG!! I think this is the first compaq EVER to not look ugly...now well see how emachines decides to retort.
OMG MY DREAM... FINALLY WINDOWS 7.. PICK ME OMGGG
Wrong article, dildo.
Well, maybe my overclocking will work and my graphics card won't crash on every boot. Let's hope and see or it's back to XP for me.
"512MB NVIDIA GeForce G210 CPU"
Nvidia doesnt make CPU's...
Well to be honest I have never been a fan of any compaq computers. They seem extremely fragile and all of the ones that I have encountered either took for ever to load up or were corrupted. Maybe its just my luck with that brand. The new HP's do seem very nice, there is something about that blue and black that just gets me.
Hope we can be of help,

You're a scumbag.
top stuff from the top manufacturer in the world
I prefer Dell's laptops. HP's Pavilion laptops give good performance, but have poor build quality. They are so glossy, the trackpad creates a drag on your finger. Dell's also launched a new Inspiron 14 laptop that looks like the Studio and Inspiron Mini lapotps. I wanna try it out when it comes to Bestbuy.
These are desktops buddy. Don't think those comments about the trackpad are relevant, nor anything else you said. But thanks for sharing your love affection with Dell.
Not bad in the Elite e9000, you can get an i920 with 6GB DDR3(3 DIMMS), a 1 TB drive, ATI 4650, and a Blu Ray drive for $939.00
Probably one of the cheaper i7 OEM systems I have seen. Dell had one for around $999, but no Blu Ray and I think it had 6GB(6 DIMMS).
I built a i7 920 for a little over $1100, but it has much nicer graphics, storage and 12GB of ram :-)
It's ridiculous how cheap good (for the average user) computers have become.
