    I bought 2 of these SFF PC's i ...Eddie Saunders -- 05/07/08

    I bought 2 of these SFF PC's in Dec 2007 and they have presented no problems what so ever.

    These units came with 2Gb of RAM (so all slots filled) and a DVD R drive (these did not come with keyboards, mice or screen). I did upgrade the DVD drive to a Pioneer DVR-215 in both machines, and added a 320Gb sata drive for some decent storage. The integrated Intel Graphics seems to perform very well for now however I may need to upgrade one of the machines to a half height dedicated video solution.

    The good: Small, Very Quiet running, decent amount of USB and audio ports, a serial port (used here for control to/from UPS) and parallel port. There are 2 PCI slots , a PCI Express x16 slot and one PCI Express x1 slot that aught cover most bases.

    The bad: There is only one and that is the smallish 80Gb hard disk with a recovery partition.

Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • RAM can be upgraded to a massive 4GB
  • generous allocation of 256MB for graphics use
  • Three years parts and labour warranty
The bad:
  • Average multimedia performance
  • Limited to low profile PCI cards
  • 80GB of storage is a bit on the low side
The bottomline:

The HP dc7700P makes for an ideal office workhorse and comes equipped with an Core 2 Duo, vPro, good expansion potential and a small form factor, just don't expect much hard drive space or multimedia performance.

Editors’ rating:

8/10

RRP: AU$1600.00
