This Sony system is simply awesome. I went and purchased this unit for my brother in law and I wish I’d kept it. This unit comes with a cd-rw standard, with I-link and a nic card. Each person that has a Sony computer that I know of rave about the technical support and the reliability of the Sony units.
My brother in law wanted to add an additional drive and the case is easy to open allowing easy upgrading. The size of the form factor is small, so this unit fits on the desktop nicely. The additional speakers sound great, as the overall bundled software just makes life easy.
Overall, I am going to buy another of these units, I heard that they were selling this units in Japan first and the could not keep them on the shelves there. Sony has finally come around, as this is the least expensive computer in there line up.
