While I really like sitting in front of a large monitor, this will just have to do (lol). I've only had it a few weeks, works great, fast, very well built and thought out. Not much junkware either. The CPU and Video Card put out some heat in games. The fans are sort of loud -- but that's the other reason why you're wearing headphones.
The HDMI output is less crisp and brilliant than I expected on a known good cable and monitor. Seems to be a common problem if you search for it. Had to fiddle with the color settings and it is mostly ok now, so I'm only knocking one star off. You know you want it...
