Thoughts on All-In-One PCs?

Stay away from them!! The biggest problem is the integrated video, lack of slots and generally very poor chipsets!

Thanks guys.

When I was looking at these things I just kept thinking to myself that I like the concept. I don't really have any interest in gaming anymore, so that is not an issue. If I were to play a game it would be something that I already have on my 5 year old computer (unupgraded except XFX nVidia 8600GT). If it could run on that I would imagine it would run on an off-the-shelf PC. If they didn't it is no big loss.

I don't like netbooks at all. They are way too small and don't even have a disc drive. They look cool, but are just too small. My 1280x1024 LCD monitor just bit the dust (only 3 year old Samsung

) and I have to use a 1024x768 CRT right now. Just going from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 feels small. A little netbook screen would drive me nuts.

Other than integrated video, the specs on these things seemed ok. Or I thought they did. I haven't really followed computer hardware since I built mine.

Needless to say, I don't really feel like building my next PC.
