I finally got around to setting up another home PC after my old HP Pavilion died. Its demise involved a great deal of frustration, 12 pellets of S&B 00B from a Mossberg 500, and bit of aluminum powder/potassium permanganate for good measure. I'm hoping its violent end will deter my other electronic devices from mutiny.
With a little over $600, I picked up a 22" KDS LCD monitor (1680x1050 native resolution) and an Acer Aspire T180 with an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ processor, 516 DDR2 SDRAM, 16x DVD+/- RW and 160GB RAM on Ebay.
Before buying, I scoured the net and found little information on either. The little I found was essentially positive so I made the purchase. I’m relieved to find they’re both functioning wonderfully so far, but I’m somewhat surprised that some of my buddies who feel they’re in-the-know never heard of KDS and very little of Acer. Is there a reason why these aren’t more prevalent?
Does anyone here have any experience with either? Both appear to be quality products.
Thanks in advance.
