"Very noisy"
What I like:
Small, compact, unobtrusive
What I don't like:
Have had to have motherboard replaced and one of the memory modules
Review:
At first sight this looks superb, however its looks are not matched by its performance, at the moment it keeps shutting down while I am in the middle of working

Apple iMac (27-inch, unibody, 2009)
Although not much faster than its predecessor, the LED-backlit display and spec tweaks are welcome
ViewSonic VPC100
Not particularly exciting, but it's cheap and offers a relatively large display for a nettop
Dell Studio XPS 435
Despite some missing features, it's a decent all-rounder, and it looks good for a Dell desktop too
