That was better but you can work with it

The Pc comb on time and well packed as usual.
He looks very well and really feels quality also at the gap Masen can not complain. Acer is a fairly high-quality brand and follows this line also determined.
Why 3 stars? Well once I anticipate never have got a high-end device at this price expected but there are a few no-go points.

Pros and Cons list:

Per
+ Look and feel can not be desired. A small tower of though is unremarkable but decorative.
++ Price / performance ratio you get something for your money but nothing more than you pay for.
+ The interfaces which it has are sufficient for the Standart - User
+ It is quiet and off the work hardly heard.
+ The HDMI interface allows the output of sound

Neutral
o Win 8 is a good operating system and I do not want but also give really only because all my PCs have a touch screen monitor. Without this opportunity, I would even advise them to use it almost.

Contra
- The mainboard has loudly Hardware - Check no 6Gb / s SATA interface, according HWiNFO he has 2 but I'm sure that this is not so. Samsung Magican says that the board plugged into a 3Gb / s connection and the software I trust a lot more. So if you want to retrofit a SSD (like me) should not be too much expect it brings what but there would truly more. Although bad but still not worth minus star.
- Costs The point of the first star is the fact that the Tower can not upgrade what I think is the difference between Golden Tower and laptop. Only RAM is expanding and that is possible when the power relative unnecessarily anything else you can forget. He has a 1170 base and is thus "bound" to this processor, the mainboard has only one mini PCI connector which can be used only for a Bluetooth expansion (according to Acer Customer Service). Who likes the look and thinks he can expand the board and add power pack an I must unfortunately disappoint the board does not correspond to norm.
- The second star goes unfortunately away for the software. The J 2900 processor is not the slowest but because you can rely on ACER that they utilize before him is still running any program. I'm not inexperienced with PCs and have almost a day to hand everything to brush off the plate that the PC "chaining". Especially the Mc Afee is a right ankle bracelet. I do not mind that there is to try software but honestly, who wants to have at the beginning of a software package which exceeds the possibilities of the PC. At the first start, the utilization of processor and hard drive was 95-100% (!! no !! Only start test by the Mc Afee I had to cancel because he hardly reacted.)
Sad or ?? As the "super" computer with 8 GB of RAM and 32 bit Win XP available from Hofer a few years ago.
Acer should know better what the hardware can and what software this makes sense.

My use (perhaps for one or the other inspiration for the other probably sheer madness :-))

I got it as a media station to the Fehr Very (HDMI) connected and a touch screen monitor (VGA) at my couch installed (ca 40 meters of cable routed) which I can control him, really a top solution is not so easy to make. The biggest advantage is that you simply can use it via touch screen (without Fehrnseher) while the Gatin can still view your Series.

Conclusion:
Who a tower for smaller requirements (See surfing, film, etc) will and know-how has to clean up the software Schrottplaz can quietly fall back on this product. Who really wants to play games or movies before having to edit (or Converter Rip) should definitely take the better-equipped versions. I am after a long work happy with the PC but it was a long way and I admit if I would have the possible answer, I would replace it immediately against the XC 605 or my choice would now fall to another.
