It seems HP makes a Pavilion computer for just about every need. Naturally, there is a Pavilion for the multimedia computer geek. Enter the HP Pavilion Elite M904n. The HP Pavilion Elite M904n packs a lot of muscle. Featured is a quad core chipset, in a slimmer profile than earlier designs. Since this is a multimedia computer, you would expect it to have a large hard drive. It has two 320 GB drives, enough for just about anything you can throw at it. The Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS graphics card renders images and video effortlessly. Windows Vista is a nice touch, since it comes with the ability to use the machine as a PVR, essentially turning your PC into a Tivo. The overall performance and features included with the machine impressed expert reviewers. The gloss black exterior was also well like among the reviewers. The inclusion of both an HDMI and DVI outputs were also well received, making it extremely easy to connect it to that new HDTV sitting in your living room. Of course the consumers liked this feature as well. Consumers also appreciated the ample storage capacity provided by the 2 320 GB hard drives. The HP Pavilion Elite M904 is a solid choice for those looking for a great multimedia PC at a great price.

HP's new digital-media-oriented Pavilion Elite m9040n is fast, loaded with features, and its new looks and newly integrated receivers improve its profile. Our main issue is the redundant bays for two of HP's proprietary external hard drives. If you can...

It's exactly what I wanted... This is a LOT of bang for the buck. Quad core, 3gb, vista premium, etc...it does need a new video card if you're a gamer but I don't know many PC's that come with the "pefect" video card anyway. It's odd to be a fan of HP...
