REVIEW BY: katsuey Reviewed  Sep 24, 2008 

Read carefully! The computer tower itself is great, nicely loaded with ammenities. The system accessories that come with it (keyboard, mouse and sound system) are total junk! Also understand that no extra Sata cables are included if you want to add an additional disk drive for backup. You buy your own.
