Summary: RUN!
Comment: I purchased two slimlines about 8 months ago. This is my first negative review to write about any company or product but I am compelled. Both desktops broke down within the first two months within 3 weeks of each other. After a nightmare with their technical support I sent them both back to be repaired. I am now sending them both back again after another nightmarish experience with the overseas technical suppport. Their technical support team claimed that it is because of the small size and compenents. I attempted to see if they would exchange these slimlines for a larger traditional desktop. I was willing to pay more. They would not. Prior to my experience with their technical support and customer service I would have bought another HP. Now I will try another brand.

Summary: HP Pavillion S3400F Slimline Computer
Comment: The computer was received promptly which is what I have typically found when ordering through Amazon.
This is the first computer I have purchased for some time, I usually build them, but the small size and low price made this impractical. I also found that this was a good way to try out Windows Vista without the pain of a fresh install, not to mention the cost which is only a little less than the price of this computer.
All in all the computer works well and appears to be reliable. The only issues I have experienced are due to Vista which would not read my network drive, and had an issue with one or two of my older programs. But for the most part Vista is ok.
Getting back to the computer, it is not a machine for someone that wants to adjust performance etc, because the two card slots are not full height so upgrading sound and video will be difficult. However for someone that wants good performance for office applications and average games this is a great space saving machine.HP Pavilion S3420F Slimline Desktop PC (AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core 5400+ Processor, 3 GB RAM, 500 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium)

Summary: Great Machine!
Comment: Great price, quite fast, and BluRay works nicely in Media Center. However, the fan is a little too loud, it does not have Wireless N built in (I checked, but I could be wrong), and it should have an eSata port for an external drive to support HD playback.
Overall, I am very pleased!

Summary: Great computer, flawed though
Comment: I bought this about 3 weeks ago, maybe a bit longer, and the first week i had it i had to call up HP and have it sent in for repairs. Expecting it back in a few days from the repair place. Very pleased with HP's support, not to pleased with the purchase. There shouldnt be any reason I need to send it in for repairs the first week of using it.
On the other hand, from what I saw, it works well. The TV connector in the back helps with space, so we only need a monitor, and not a tv, monitor, desk, etc etc. 500 gb of space means i can save my shows and not worry about running out of space. They say 3 gb of RAM, but I got 4. Evidentally they all do, but the computer only utilizes 3 gb, and the other 1 is for cache.
Very good computer for the price, just waiting to actually be able to use it! Kind of disappointed, since I have not been able to use the tower, or the monitor i purchased through amazon. Hope it works, and there are no other issues once I get it running.
