Maximum PC

Well, I just got it today (I am actually posting from it).

First impressions...

It was pretty easy to set up, only took a few clicks and had to put in my name and user/pass. Internet worked right out of the box. Seems that the graphics drive is missing for the GeForce 7300 LE that came with it. I have done this, and I am getting read for a reboot. I should have a full review in the next day or two.

Is there a Microsoft sticker on it? These PCs look pretty cool.

Nope. No MS sticker. I have some pictures that will go along with the review. I have played with it quite a bit, installing software and even putting in my 500GB SATA that as in my windows server (easily got the drives mounted and I can read and write to them even though they are NTFS: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_edgy_eft_ntfs_ntfs_3g)

The only real cons I see right now are no PS2 ports (common anymore, oh well) and no IDE controler onboard. However, it does have 6 sata ports.

Now I just have to figure out how to get all of my data off this 250 GB IDE I have

Installing the nvidia drivers and re-running the xorg config did the trick. I have downloaded (but not yet configured) beryl. We shall see how it goes.

If this means anything, this machine, and Fiesty has ALMOST (no seriously, almost) convinced me to move away from Windows as my main day-to-day OS. It is close, so far XP still has me.

That's great! I hope your experience is a good indicator for the future of Linux. For my next computer purchase I would consider buying a Dell.

I've made the switch over to Feisty (on my own computer, not a Dell) and I still have to dual boot with XP for a couple of programs. Actually, I boot into XP only about once a month.
