A 17" monitor is freaking TINY by today's standards. You're much better off getting a 20-23.
You better hope the boss croaks before this system does or you will be faced with trying to teach him how to use Windows 8 ... that will not be fun. |

You're tellin' me. I think the one I found was an 18.5. His current computer is at least 7 years old.

My experience with ASUS products has been excellent. When I "strayed" and purchased Gigabyte boards, I regretted it because I had three fail within 18 months. Yet others I know have had no such issues. Computers. |

The case is extra skinny which means all the 'cards' are not default size. no biggie if you are getting an all-in-one motherboard type computer but buying a new graphics or sound card later means you have to buy low profile. You generally don't get all the sale prices on low profile stuff. just FYI

And I spent over 5 minutes trying to cut and paste it into CP, but the damn image and character limits kept it from working. That's as good as you get. Buy an Optiplex 3010. 21" monitor, $702.

My buddy bought a newegg combo build that came with a MSI mobo 2 years ago, it just died. When fixing his rig, I made him buy ASUS. PS: NEVER buy Corsair products, I HATE them with a passion! |

Also like already noted.... ASUS is a great company. I use their motherboards on all my rigs.
