Amazon.com Product Description

No matter what level of computer you need, chances are that at least one model in Compaq's wide-ranging Presario 6400 series of desktop computers is a good fit. Near the upper end of the scale lies the Presario 6450nx Desktop PC, a robust unit that lacks high-end 3-D performance and DVD burning but is otherwise capable of taking on most any leisure or business task.

Driven by a 2.53 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor and 512 MB SDRAM system memory (expandable to 1024 MB), the Presario 6450nx sports a solid power base. However, its integrated 64 MB Intel Extreme Graphics chipset is not ideal for demanding 3-D applications such as games, animation and drawing. Data storage and handling duties are shared by a massive 120 GB hard disk, a 3.5-inch diskette drive, and a combination CD-RW/DVD drive that supports CD burning and playing and DVD playback but does not permit DVD writing.

The Presario 6450NX features a variety of connectivity options, including serial and parallel ports, a 56K V.90 flex modem for low-speed communication, a high-speed 10-Mbps/100-Mbps Ethernet network port, two FireWire ports for fast data transfer with external devices such as digital camcorders, and a whopping half-dozen high-speed USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals. Compaq has included a convenient Presario Internet keyboard and Presario Scroller Mouse, but has not equipped the unit with wireless capabilities.

The impressive bundled software package features Microsoft Works 7.0, Microsoft Money 2002 Standard, Intuit Quicken Financial Center, and several audio-video utilities. The system does not ship with a monitor or speakers, thus allowing users to custom select their favorite models from the many options currently available.

2 out of 5 stars Poor workmanship, but a good budget box.......2004-12-17

I needed a new development box and webserver in a pinch, and this machine's specs and price perfectly fit the bill. However, when it arrived, the CD-RW drive was improperly installed, loose and recessed inside the case instead of being flush with the front of the bay. I cannot comment on the bundled software, as I wiped everything and installed Linux on the first boot. The performance from this machine has been wonderful over the year it's served me, despite the physical defects.

1 out of 5 stars Shoddy Workmanship.......2004-02-06

This is a quick follow-up to my previous review of this item. Sure enough, when I got the CPU back from the shop after having had the floppy drive replaced, the first cd I burned was marred with glitches, just as was the last one I burned right before the machine went for repair. Guess I'll have to have the DVD and CDR drives replaced now! Folks, whatever you do, stay away from this particular model: I couldn't even consider recommending an electronic product which I'd had to take for repair twice within the first two months of ownership (and yes, it was purchased brand new.) HP/Compaq really ought to be embarrassed. It may not look like a duck, but it sure quacks and desecrates like one!

2 out of 5 stars Frustrating Experience Part II.......2004-01-29

The previous reviewer gave you a pretty good thumbnail sketch of the flaws with this product, so I won't belabor the point. Apt to say, though, mine found itself in the repair shop within days after I purchased it from Amazon. Why? Because the floppy drive did not work, right out of the box: Could not snap a disk in the drive. I've been buying electronics for longer than I care to recall, and I don't think I've ever seen such ineptness so soon after a product's purchase. I needed the drive to install a few programs I wanted, so I couldn't put the repair off. Further, I noticed around the same time that a cd I burned had a few glitches in the recording (not in the original, of course.) The drive looks perfectly normal and all was clean, but you can bet that the next time I hear something like that, this machine will be back in the shop again. As the previous reviewer lamented, the money's already spent--so I guess I'm stuck with it--but I cannot in good conscience recommend a product laden with such problems right out of the package. This thing looks real nice, both outside and inside, is very fast and strong in processing and memory, and the price is nice, but if you don't enjoy headaches and hemeroids, stay clear of it.

1 out of 5 stars Such a frustrating experience..........2003-12-01

Despite the usual experience one can get from an HP product (HP owns Compaq.) there was a lot to like about this model. However, too many frustrations with this unit make me unable to recommend it to anyone else. I'm sticking with it simply because the money's spent and the return is past.

Most of what I'll discuss is about the internal design, but, the few surface elements I will touch upon are disappointing. Like with most HP computers, HP can't seem to get this one to work right out of the box. Something installed at the factory causes Windows Explorer to want to bug out a lot. Either crash on start of Windows, or simply freeze over the course of use, causing it to stop responding. Plus, you can't seem to add the Paste Internet Explorer button to the WE Toolbars. You CAN, but, it's useless to do since pressing it will cause WE to freeze. Windows Explorer locking up or freezing has plagued HP PC's since at least 2000, when I first encountered it. So, since it doesn't work right out of the box, how can I really recommend it, since they just installed things on it without even testing to make sure they all work okay?

Inside the machine... man, I really wanted to recommend this model internally... It's got a lot of great hardware in it, but, HP is famous for doing this. They're good on hardware, but lousy on bundling the software necessary to use it. In terms of design, the interior is well done. The drives are held in not with screws against a plate but with a railing system so they can slide in and out. The IDE data cables that connect to the mother board have loops on them so you can hook your finger in them and easily remove them from their sockets. The upper drive bays are designed in such a way that you can easily connect their back cables by merely sliding the opposite drive forward a bit to make the space. However, HP shoots themselves in the foot by being "cute" with other design aspects.

They included several screws attached to a plate inside the case for future upgrades. While that is unusual and a nice gift, they're not standard. They're the funny kind of screws that have Philips heads, but, must be used with flathead screw drivers. The bezel is poorly designed, so, certain drives, like the Sony DRU-500a cannot be placed in the top drive bay. Otherwise, the drive simply will not open at all. The floppy drive slot is placed so the drive itself is recessed in relation to the slot, which means you must press pretty firmly on Eject button so the floppy has enough propulsion to eject it out enough for you to grab. So, you'd better have your hand near the slot, or the floppy will fly to the floor.

The PCI slot is protected by a cover, which is a nice idea in thought, but they failed again in execution. The instructions say to replace the screw when you have removed the slot cover, which is NECESSARY to insert a new card, but, the cards COVER the hole! Plus, the instructions say to use a Philips when it is quite clear that a flathead is all that will work!

One final comment on two of the installed hardware components. On the first day after I could return the unit, the hard drive just died! Up and died! HP wants you to send in the ENTIRE PC to see IF you're right before they will replace it! IBM, IOMega, and others will just take your credit card number and send you a replacement drive. IF you don't send back the old drive, they charge you for a new one! There is absolutely NO need to deprive people of their PC's with something that could easily be solved within a week's time of shipping new and old drives back and forth! Shame on HP! The other one, the modem: it's listed as a v92 56k Cheetah modem. Well, the Cheetah aspect is in name only: this modem would only connect, in general, at 28.8, so, I swapped it out. Speaking of swapping out things, as you can guess, I was FORCED to swap parts out: the modem and the dead HD. For someone who isn't experienced with doing that, this makes this model NOT a good first choice system. I also swapped out the optical drives to replace them with better ones.

I've paid for it, I can't return it, so, I must live with it. But, that doesn't mean YOU have to. DON'T buy this! In fact, skip ALL HP products you don't need! I need HP ink cartridges because that's all I have, and HP doesn't give you much of a choice. But, other HP products (The Pavilion PC in 2000, a returned Pavilion in 20003, the DVD 100i and 200i rip off DVD+ burner models.) have been nothing but frustrations and empty promises.

5 out of 5 stars The fast and cheap PC!!!.......2003-11-30

I've been looking for a P4 and 512 MB RAM desktop for our house and I've found it! It's got more than I expected! It has a CD-RW, (which my dad said he had to have, I did too,) a DVD player, a 120 GB hard drive (WOWWEE!!!!) and WIndows XP! All a Desktop needs for school and college needs. If you're worried about having to copy your info onto a CD, and you fear that in the future there won't be any floppy drives, I would suggest this PC. I believe it has two bays and RealOne Player, (and a CD-RW), which is all you need to burn CDs! With RealOne Player, you are enabled to burn CDs, or, copy the CD onto the PC, then write onto a CD-R! That's da bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 out of 5 stars Lemon!.......2003-07-10

I bought two of these. One died after 3 months, so I sent it in to get fixed. When I got it back it worked well. Now they are both broke. The good news is that Microtek is replacing them with a new model(c593). Hopefully that one works better.

1 out of 5 stars Monitor Died.......2002-07-11

The monitor performed well, screen was crisp and clean and bright, but it died after two months of service. Tech Support is a toll number that is no longer in service. Despite the three year warranty, it will be a challenge to get this repaired, not to mention the inconvenience. I would recommend another unit.

3 out of 5 stars very blurry at 800 x 600.......2002-05-29

Although the 1024 x 768 res at 75 Hz produces a relatively crisp picture with incredible color, the lower 800 x 600 res is very blurry. I plan to compare other lcd monitors in the next few days and will quite likely return this monitor. Otherwise, the monitor has great controls, looks very sweet, is very stable with its well-designed pedestal base, is a fine gray/silver color, and uses at most the power a 30-watt light bulb pulls.

      It's a great DVD player but does play not VCDs great & can't do CDR at all. This unit does not have a caruoselchanger so you need to put in your 5 discs at the same time to use the dvd changer or interupt playback of current disc to add more discs to the changer.Also very loud when changing discs.I bought this model "open box" if you have to pay full price I'd say don't buy it.

      2 out of 5 stars All In One Not So Great in the Long Run.......2000-12-29

      I bought this DVD/CD mega system at an electronics superstore less than a year ago. For the first several months it was AWESOME. I liked it because it did everything, and it was all wrapped up in one system. However, less than two months after I bought it, the store stopped carrying it, and wouldn't tell me why. Not surprising because about four months later, it started giving me problems. Average DVD's, which would be read just fine on any other player I could find, were said to be unreadable. I get this obnoxious message telling me "this type of disc cannot be played." I found that if I opened and closed the drive enough times, it would finally read and show the movie. Now, less than a year later, I have to buy another system if I want something reliable. Never again will I fall for something that sells itself as "all in one" because if one part goes wrong, you lose the whole system.

      4 out of 5 stars "Economic" has many meanings.......2000-10-25

      Overall, this is a grat deal: a 5-disc DVD changer, a dobly-digital decoder AND speaker set, all rounded up under hi-end Panasonic label. This piece of hardware may not be suitable for you more serious home-cinema buffs, but the avearage consumer will by no means be disappointed by the lack of a subwoofer. One true complaint, thou, is the (usual) 500 lines of definition: it may not show on your standard TV set, but there's a noticable (and unfortunate) difference when compared to a 720-lines player on a Panasonic TAU os Sony WEGA set. It wouldn't hurt if Panasonic equipment supported recordable CD-Roms, either.

      I bought the higher powered handsets hoping I could use them on hikes. Well, it seems they work up to about 500 yards if there are no mountains or buildings in the way. I bought four of them, and tried to use them in Yosemite. We almost never could talk to each other (only when we were within line of sight, which was useless).

      My son really enjoys this product. He was always ruining portable cd players in the bathroom and this isn't getting ruined.

      1 out of 5 stars Save your money.......2006-03-17

      The CD function stopped working after a few months and the tuner is an absolute hair trigger - hitting it by accident closing the shower curtain this morning moved it more than 3MHz!

      To avoid the problem the other reviewer notes concerning it falling, I untied one end of the rope that allows it to hang. I looped that around the shower curtain and retied it. That lets the cord act as a safety line for when the suction fails.

      2 out of 5 stars There's better ones out there.......2006-01-03

      This is a decent shower radio, but for a little extra $, you should bite the bullet and get a better one. First, I should note that I found myself not using the CD player, and only the radio. ***The radio tuner is *not* digital --- thus, tuning stations is unnecessarily (slightly) more difficult. Shouldn't digital tuning be the standard in 2005/6? Finally, this unit is HEAVY (largely fueled by its 6 D batteries!) --- SO HEAVY, that every 3-4 months or so, despite it's strong suction cups attaching to the shower wall, it *plummets to the earth*, shatters open, batteries spinning everywhere. It's a miracle it's continued to work. I labored along with this radio for exactly one year (since Christmas 2004), and told my wife that the next time it fell, it was getting relegated to the guest bathroom (where hopefully, due to less use, it will not fall!) It fell again a few days ago, and now I'm shopping for a smaller, higher quality unit. Do yourself a favor and spend an extran $10 or $20 on something of higher quality...

        5 out of 5 stars Great Board.......2006-11-13

        I have owned a few of these. I had to replace them because I either wore them out or spilled liquid on them. Ive been using this modelfor 5 years! Great, lite software to run your custom apps at the touch of a button. Common shortcut keys right where you need them "copy, rename, close window"...etc I use it for gaming and multimedia and it works great. The price make sit even sweeter.

        5 out of 5 stars great keyboard.......2003-06-29

        the easy touch funtions make it easy to whip thru programs and find exactly what you need with out a standard mouse to mess with. Compaitble for windows XP and with lower versions like 98 but you will have limited button use. Still a great buy and if you loose the manual to guide you thru the buttons the Micro innovations web site has a greta customer service crew and the manual is on the web site.

          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 Nikon systems.For a complete compatibility list please refer to the original manufacturer's web site.
