Awsome computer for an afordable price.......2005-10-17

This computer has been the best yet. For those who don't like the integrated graphics you might try a PCI graphics card. I bought a PNY Technologies card with 128 memory in it. Works wonderful. I have had this computer for almost 3 years and usually ready to buy a new by this time because they can't handle the newer software. Not this one. Just keeps going and never seems to slow down. If you don't have alot of money to put into a computer, I recommend this one. I do a little of everything with my computer and this one has done it all without problems.

Good PC for the price!!!!.......2005-02-12

This my 3nd PC, and it's the best one yet. I went to store after store until I got to Circuit City and I saw it on the display for 849.99. Compaq Presario 6000(6350us), Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz processor, 512MB DDR-SDRAM, CD-RW Drive 40x40x10, DVD-ROM Drive 16x, Floppy Drive, 80GB Hard Drive, Windows XP Home Edition and 6 USB2 ports, System Bus Speed 400MHz I just had to get it now! It came with booket, manual, diagram, compaq keyboard & mouse, Norton Antivirus 2002, Intuit Quicken 2002 New User Edition with financial center, 5 restore discs, Microsoft Works 6 and Money 2002, But then I found out that this PC doesn't have a video card, just integrated Intel Extreme Graphics with 64mb of RAM, limited PCI Slots space (only 3 with 2 open), no AGP Slot, no DVD-RW Drive, no Microsoft Office software, not a lot of software, but it does the job ok. I did some upgrading by buying a TV Tuner card, a sound card, a DVD-RW Drive, and a PCI firewire Card. I think I will do some more research now, and buy another kind of PC next time. One that cost a little more with all the things I want on it.. Compaq no longer make this model.

Pros:
mid-size hard drive (80GB), DVD-ROM drive (16x), CD-RW drive (40x40x10), lots of USB ports (6).

Cons:
No firewire ports, no TV Tuner card, no video card, integrated graphics, no AGP Slot, limited PCI slot space, no Microsoft office, no DVD-RW drive, no Monitor, MicroATX Mini Tower.

i agree...lacks graphics.......2003-01-25

pc is really great if you are looking for a fast processor that can handle dvds, cdrws and desktop imaging. but i made the mistake of buying this and expecting to play games like hitman 2, madden 2003 and grand theft auto 2. hitman is decent, madden is ok, gta is horrible. the intel chip is sub par compared to any graphics board out there, and the sad thing is that this 6350us does not have an onboard AGP slot. very tough indeed. i will have settle for a low end geforce4. :(

I like this new Presario........2002-12-27

First of all lets realize that computers now wait for us as opposed to us waiting for them, as we've done for years. Even with several applications going at once there should be nothing to slow us down any more. Thats why we keep trading up every 6 months or so.
Well the Compaq 6550 wont disappoint. Not only is it loaded with power and speed, it has the drives to match: 80 gigs (what am I gonna do with all that space?), a DVD player which displays movies extremely well in this computer, and a CDRW ready to churn out copies in just a couple of minutes. Plus it has a complement of software which provides tools for fun, financials, films, security, communication, storage, productivity, and great sounding music.
I upgraded from a P3 1 gig, 256RAM, GForceMX PC and this new system very noticeably outruns it, especially with heavy Photoshop use. Intel's (direct AGP) graphic chip looks about equivalent on the display. I do work with images in website building; the color rendition and richness of the images look quite nice.
On the negative, there exists no available AGP slot, so the results of future upgrading of the video card (using PCI slot) may be less than optimum. Also, although the USBs are the faster 2 type, it lacks a fire wire jack which I think by now should be standard.
This baby runs super quiet, similar to a laptop, and the cover is a snap to open for accessibility.
This is a far cry from the old problematic Presario clunkers. I like the new Presario.

DO NOT Completely Believe the Review Below!!!!.......2002-12-23

I just currently purchased the Compaq Presario 6350us from Office Depot and as soon as I plugged it and set it up, I was amazed. Computers today are advanced, however, this one leaves most of them in the dust. It's massive 80GB Hard Drive is more than enough to store your businesses, favorite music files (I currently have 100 songs) and games. It has 512MB of RAM (expandable to 1GB) allows many games on your computer, if you are a hardcore gamer. Not to mention that its got a 2.4 GHZ speed that is just amazing. Going online with this speed will make many smile. The only little problem is that its graphic card is an "Integrated Intel Extreme" and this is only as advanced as the Nvidia GeForce 2, which is very powerful. It may not be as powerful as the Nvidia GeForce 4, but I played Spider-Man: The Movie without any slowdowns. The review below stated that when runing games, the system runs slower than a 600Mhz processor. This is NOT true. I believe that words coming out of an AMD fanboy cannot be trusted. That or maybe he/she got a broken computer. Intel and AMD, in my opinion are equal in strength, except that Intel's clock speed is much faster. This computer will create many happy faces for the next 6 years. It's superior design and technology should be accepted by many in need of a computer. Even a big AMD fanboy such as the one who wrote the review below, should think twice before placing blame on Compaq. Besides, the "Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics" is not developed by Compaq. It was indeed developed by Intel. I recommend this computer to any home PC seekers. Trust me, you will not regret this purchase for such a low price.

The C586 also features a stylish metallic look for the image conscious, advanced on-screen controls, low energy consumption, as well as a 30- and 5-degree (up/down) tilt base for the best viewing angles.

Amazon.com Product Description

With a sleek, stylish design that will make your old monitor hang its putty-colored head in embarrassment, Microtek's flat panel monitor features 15 viewable inches and a tiny footprint and profile to eliminate desktop clutter. Value is the name of the game with the C586, combining crisp 1,024 x 768 XGA resolution and 0.297 mm dot pitch. The result is consistently sharp imaging for an accessible price.

Unlike many flat monitors that seem to lose their contrast if you view them from anywhere other than straight on, the C586 features a 30-degree up and a 5-degree down tilt capability, and can be viewed from 45 degrees to the side. And the screen's visibility holds up even in brightly lit office environments thanks to an antiglare surface coating.

The onscreen digital controls are relatively intuitive, featuring contrast/brightness, phase/clock, horizontal/vertical position, sharpness, color adjustments, multi-languages, OSD function, test mode, and memory recall. With plug-and-play installation, the monitor connects to your PC via a 15-pin D-sub cord.

Great LCD panel for all. Stylish, slim, and easy to setup........2002-06-19

I am running two of these in a dual monitor setup at 1024X768 resolution on both. The colors are very vivid, sharp and bright as well. I bought a total of 8 of these LCD panels and have sold them all with the computers I custom build for people and have had nothing but impressive comments on them. I've compared this LCD to my brother's Viewsonic VG150 and it clearly comes out ahead (slimer, brighter, sharper, and very easy to setup). I guess the only downfault is that it only has a analog input. but from my experience with DVI and analog inputs is I would doubt you can tell the difference with your eyes which one is plugged in. I hope this helps. [....] But anyhow, great panel.

Product Description

Technics' speakers embody style and convenience, while delivering a breathtakingly pure sound to your music and movies. The svelte design of SB-WA100 active subwoofer lets you hide it in tighter spaces, so you hear the powerful bass reproduction without seeing the source.The SB-WA100's cone woofer has an aluminum sub-cone, which disperses voice coil heat directly into the air, maintaining superior high power handling. A dual woofer configuration also works to deepen dynamic response within the bass. For accurate surround sound reproduction, a subwoofer should have power equal to that of the other channels in the system. With a built-in 100W amplifier, the SB-WA100 is a perfect match to Technics' multi-channel receivers. There is no need to turn the subwoofer power on and off each time you use your system. The auto power on/off function detects when an amplifier signal is sent to it and turns it on automatically. When you turn off your receiver or amplifier, the subwoofer automatically powers down by itself.

Awesome player.......2005-01-16

I got this as a returned item for cheaper from Sears, now before this I tried Cyberhome, and that experience was horrible, distorted picture, battery never lasted, the thing was made of plastic. What I like about this player is not only that it works, but it works well, its made of metal at least so it's solid, the picture quality is perfect, better even than cyberhome, sound quality is good also although the only way to control volume is by the rotator on the side, which I wish there were a way on the remote control. Everything else though is fine, The battery is the length of the player and securley hooks on to the back, adding a slight bit of weight, size, and heat to the system, however this battery lasts long, and unlike cyberhome you do not have to remove the battery everytime you use the ac or car adapter. Functionality is great. Wonderful for long road trips. Comes with ac adapter with a rather short cord, car adapter, battery, player, audio and sound inputs as well as a 90 day warranty although further warranties are availaible for purchase. All in all a great 7" portable dvd player from Mintek but marketed through Memorex.

Who puts them together these days does a lousy job.......2006-10-02

I bought this printer based on 2 year-old reviews in PC magazine. Back then, they were evidently put together well. Not anymore. The first one I received didn't work at all -- displayed "scanner locked" message. So I returned it to Tiger, and they sent me another. This one works until you try to photocopy something -- the main reason I bought it. If you press something down lightly to flatten the pages on a book, the scanner makes a horrible chunking sound and you get either a blank page or a page streaked with lines. Now I have to bother with returning this one as well. I really really regret this purchase. All told, I've spent two weeks in troubleshooting the problems, returning the printer, and getting a new one that also doesn't work properly. I had a positive impression of both TigerDirect and Lexmark before this, but I don't anymore.

beware of scanner software.......2006-08-04

I haven't had this long. The amazing thing is that the scanner software doesn't support the document feeder. You can load multipages in the feeder but you must hit the scan button in the software, load up the preferences, scan one page. Then you have to do this again for each page! Then stack all the pages together to form one document in the software. Imagine if the fax part did that! It would be like faxing one page at a time! You can only find out about this by searching lexmarks or paperports knowledge base.

Do not buy this crap :-(.......2005-10-24

I bought this machine which I then believed was perfect for my business purpose. Unpacked it and set it up, now to setup the time, date and who you are in fax mode requires an effort which you will do a lot of times, because everytime the power gives a kick on the grid you must again set it up. So 1 the fax function is an annoyance with that. Then you plug it to your PC here is my advice. Do not follow the instruction given, do not install the software as you're told. I did not in the first place and was told by Windows to insert the CD and the printer fired up, it worked great. Now the scanner did not, so I installed the software from the CD instead. Surprise... Now you have to click canncel XXX times every time you boot your computer, found new software well try it and you will see. So 2 the printer ends up as a major annoyance. The scanner never ever managed to work on neither of my PC's with WIn XP home nor XP pro, so 3. The scanner will annoy you. The copier worked for 2 months then the paper feeder just jams so you are forced to do one and one page, which is 4 very annoying. Last due to company policy we will go over to Linux OS so we contacted Lexmark, who after a lot of emails told me to just use it for copy and fax, forget about PC connectivety. Well to be honest I will not want this to happen to anyone unless they were my enemy. Save yourself this major hassle and buy a HP, Epson, Brother or Canon instead.

Product Description

They just keep getting better! Quantaray brings you the latest in our tremendously successful line of great lenses with this amazing 28 to 300mm Autofocus Zoom Lens. This new hyperzoom encompasses a tremendous range of focal lengths (a 10.7:1 ratio) providing exceptional flexibility of composition, and allowing one to follow the movement of a subject throughout a wide range, without having to miss great shots while changing lenses. By utilizing a multi-group cam system, this lens maintains a more consistently high level of performance throughout the focal length and focusing ranges. This hyperzoom also provides high optical performance and incredible color definition without distortions or color aberrations due to the use of special LDO (Low Dispersion Optics) and Aspherical glass. This 28-300mm lens offers excellent portability because of its compact design. An added benefit of the unique design of this lens is that the front lens barrel does not rotate during focusing or zooming so the use of polarizing and graduated filters is made simpler, easier and more accurate. The Inner focus system keeps the front of the lens stationary and the dimensions of the lens remain constant throughout the focus range. From sports to wildlife, or for great shots of your friends and family, this lens will do a super job. For many photographers this will truly be a universal lens.This product is designed for Minolta systems.
