[QUOTE="etheesdad, post: 408973, member: 84335"] Specs appear to vary: EF9100A U3792A B3530A U3500A ED5600A Which configuration? Are planning to use the onboard (8200 or 9300 nvidia) graphics or plan to use a dedicated card? Which CPU model are you inclined toward? If you're thinking of adding a graphics card, the 220w PSU may need attention. (Unfortunately not many cards will run with a psu that small). My reading of the specs is that it has no PCI slots free. Im assuming this isnt correct, Seems strange to me that it wouldnt have free slots, but on the Acer page it states only the pci-e16x is free. (Probably worth investigating further) This may be a concern if you plan to add anything to the box- tuner cards other than pci-e for example. Both drive bays are occupied so there's no scope to add additional drives, which is fine if you dont plan to expand or if you will be using a NAS or similar, but, if you think you may want more storage down the track its a limitation worth considering.
