$498 for a Desktop Media Center and Flat-Panel MonitorThe Compaq Presario SR2013WM-B Desktop Media Center is a high-value desktop computer bundle, available from Walmart.com. Not only do you get a powerful desktop PC, but you get a sleek HPvs 17x 17″ LCD flat panel monitor with adjustable tilt and integrated speakers. Flat panel monitors are great space savers, as well as being much more convenient than heavy, bulky CRT monitors, and you’ll love all the room on your desk after you set up this monitor. You’ll also love the convenience of listening to music through the integrated speakers. As for the computer itself, it’s a 2.4GHz PC with an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ processor. The included 512MB of RAM (expandable to 2GB) ensures the ultimate in efficiency and performance. The processor has Enhanced Virus Protection, for added peace of mind. The integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200 graphics card with 256MB of video memory ensures you’ll get the most out of your new flat-panel monitor. Another unbeatable feature is the 160GB 7200RPM serial ATA hard drive, with storage capacity which is rare in low-priced PCs. With 160GB of storage available, you’ll be able to save practically everything, including movies, music, and photos. The Compaq Presario SR2013WM-B desktop media center wouldn’t be a media center without its LightScribe double/dual layer DVD R/RW drive with CD writer capabilities. With this drive, you can easily burn movies and music, as well as store data. Although there are speakers built into the flat-panel monitor, the integrated sound card will support up to six external speakers for high definition audio and the full theater experience. Other nice options which come with this desktop PC bundle are both ethernet LAN and a 56k modem, and four USB ports. If you’re thinking about expansion, there’s one external 3.5″ bay available, 2 PCI slots, and 1 PCI Express slot. With a one year parts and labor warranty, this a great deal with good customer protection behind it. Leave a Reply | |
