    these videos are JUNK! I don’t think you get the point with these machines. They are “Buy as they are” and no serious enthusiast would ever even consider them. They are a GREAT solution for sombody who just wants to use them. I build VERY high end systems and actually built a nice PC for my father… BIG mistake… I was the tech support for him and never got a break. I talked him into a HP machine, it came with decent software, had good performance for the time period and HP was his support.

    I have a simple solution: Don’t buy brand pcs. Problem SOLVED

    Well, in Compaq’s like this and eMachines computers, you could always buy a new motherboard. I mean, this computer specifically and others of this style (and a shitload of ones from eMachines) use uATX, a pretty industry standard MB type.

    Thanks for the information. My poor son checked the slots on crucial and it showed that it had 3 slots yet, when he opened it up, he only found 2.

    Yeah. HP and Compaq are the same company.

    Used to be separate, but they merged a few years ago.

    Now, Compaq is the low end consumer line, and HP is the higher end, business class stuff.

    Nice to see they’re pulling the same crap in business class PC’s, huh?

    Well, I mostly deal with dirty technology companies, as that’s the industry I’m in, but I’ll do it for anything that ticks me off enough.

    But no, Intel didn’t provide fans for all CPUs. That setup with Dell is pretty much standard for Dell hardware. Cooling is the one thing they consistently do well, and I’d rather have that design than a lot of others, because it uses a bigger fan that’s less likely to break down.

    2nd post, a question also… did intel provide heatsinks with a fan for all of their CPU’s? my current e8400 had a fan included (well… built-into the heatsink, but now im using a non-reference heatsink fan). If they did include fans… then LOL wow cheaping out and stealin my fan :( . but the funnel thing (in last post) wasnt a makeshift one, im sure it was manufactured and has a hinge so it can turn and be taken off.

    do you post vids on any dirty-playing company? If so, then keep the vids rollin :) .
    and about the vid, is that legal or illegal to do that?
    I have an old dell comp (5′ish years) that hasnt been used in a while, and the weird thing is that its heatsink doesnt have a fan actually ON it. It has a case fan that has a funnel (not a round one) surrounding the heatsink leading to the fan to cool it down… which means it doesnt expel air from the rest of the case.

    Please keep making these videos, they are just so enjoyable to watch.

    Thanks.
    My whole point is to expose some of the garbage that happens in the industry, especially from the established players – although everybody’s fair game, regardless.

    Glad you’re enjoying them, though.
