I've had this for a few days now and I'm really happy with it so far. It's whisper quiet, which is great!
It comes with McAfee antivirus pre-installed, which I didn't care for, but not enough to knock any stars off. I knew going prebuilt would entail some pre-loaded software.
It's fast, really fast. Creating a backup image and rescue disk took at most a half hour and it's been able to run any games I've played so far without a hiccup.
The optical drive release takes a fair amount of force to activate. You're pushing on the outer door, which in turn pushes the actual button. I'm wondering how that will holdup long-term.
It has 4 USB ports on the front, two of which are USB 3.0. Those are on the left and they're marked with an ss and the usb symbol
For anyone thinking to add an additional hard drive, be aware there is a tamper seal on the back of the case. Breaking the seal will void the warranty.
I like the backlit keyboard. It has a decent weight to it and the lighting can be turned off using a key to the right of the spacebar.
The mouse is a simple optical mouse and feels somewhat small, although I have large hands (extra large glove size), so for you normal-sized folks it'll probably be fine. It doesn't have the extra thumb buttons I've grown accustomed to with Logitech mice I've owned in the past, so I'll be replacing that.
I'll update if come across any major flaws.
