 Computer good Vista JUNK November 20, 2009

I have had no issues with the computer itself...its fast and reliable for the money. I am waiting for the HP Windows 7 update to arrive and put it to the test. Most of the bad reviews here are Vista related however HP did install it as part of the package and must be held responsible for problems with it but don't walk away from the overall good deal! Good luck with customer service. My first call was to someone outside the US and totally impossible to speak with! A second call later and I lucked out and got an excellent knowledgeable tech that resolved my printing issue, a "Vista problem".

This new machine, a Compaq CQ5110F, worked fine for about one week, after expending a lot of effort loading and updating new software, and transferring files from my old computer.
Then the machine started acting erratically (Blue Screen of Death) and it turned out to be a problem with the memory. On line searches of the "BIOME-1" error code shows that other folks have the same problem with Compaq or H-P devices so I feel this happens more often than it should. My machine was also powered through a surge suppressor.
HP wants me to ship the computer to a service center instead of just having it serviced locally. Also, I am now on my third go around with their support folks to get a shipping label and shipping box delivered. They keep promising it but nothing is delivered.
The machine seems great when it works but now I question its reliability. And H-P support is poor.
Followup November 16th:
The problem turned out to be a bad 1GB RAM module. So from the time the problem occured it took 3 phone calls (3 weeks) to get HP Service to send out a box and shipping label, at their expense. Package and ship the computer FedEx overnight at their expense, one day to fix and about 6 calendar days to return by Fedex ground, all on their nickel. I've been using it about a week and a half with no problems.

 Excellent Desktop for the price October 24, 2009

Purchased and used this desktop for about a month. The price is outstanding at this time for a computer with dual core processorCompaq Presario CQ5110F Desktop PC The processor is an AMD 7550
There is some adjustment moving from XP to Vista and this computer also is eligible for the new Windows 7 operating system which will be another adjustment.
Contacted HP technical support twice on some start up issues, they offered outstanding service. This computer has performed well and has exceeded my expectations for a low end dual core desktop.
Fantastic computer for the price October 18, 2009

My old PC recently died overnight, and since my budget doesn't allow for much room right now, I scoured the Internet for deals in the this price range. For the money, this PC had the most bang, and I've been very happy with the purchase. RAM, processor, and HD are all powerful for this price point. The only drawbacks are VGA-only video output (not a concern in my case) and a relatively weak onboard 3D video card (it's suitable for most business purposes and runs 3D games from a few years ago pretty well -- but is way underpowered for today's 3D games like Crysis). The system does come with a free upgrade to Windows 7 through HP, which I'm looking forward to trying.
Overall, very impressive -- I don't miss my old PC at all!
