      Not bad for a SFF box with a "Trinity" APU on a A75 mobo, WiFi ready, USB 3.0 out back, even a single slot card reader on the front. One bummer its' got one 4Gb stick, then a 2Gb module, so is it able to deliver Dual Channel? I might say the one thing I'd do right away... dump that 1333 (PC3-10600), and grab 8Gb (2x4Gb) of 1866 (PC3 14900), which furnishes the 7540D that little extra oomph. It's not like you ever add discrete graphics given its 220W PSU, so going with the fast memory might be one reasonable choice.

      Would Luv it more if it wasn't Win8, but hearing Classic Shell works out nice enough to have that "Tiles Stuff" averted. The one thing is not DVI-D just, HDMI which is fine if your goning to get a new monitor also, but if reusing something it probably means back to a VGA. God can we finally lose VGA?
