HP Pavilion d4650y – PC Mag

The HP Pavilion d4650y Core 2 Duo multimedia configuration has been reviewed over at PC Magazine. ‘The d4650y comes in a nondescript tower that looks pretty much like every other tower PC you've seen in the past five years. Thankfully, the goods inside the system aren't so cookie-cutter: There's a 2.4-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 processor, 2GB of system memory, two 250GB drives in a RAID 0 array (for a total of 500GB of drive space before you count the Personal Media Bay Drive), high-end ATI Radeon X1600XT graphics, and an HP Personal Media Drive bay. A great PC for tinkerers, the d4650y has plenty of room for upgrades, with space for at least one hard drive and up to four more regular PCI cards.

You won't even need a screwdriver to open the case or to remove drives (though you will if you need to add or remove PCI cards or put mounting studs on new drives). Connectivity options include S-Video in/out ports, ten USB ports, two FireWire ports, composite video in/out ports, and digital and analog audio in/out ports. This means you can connect all sorts of consumer electronic devices to it, including VCRs, camcorders, and audio players. The HP vs19e 19-inch LCD monitor that came with my test system was okay, but a widescreen monitor would make better sense for a multimedia enthusiast.’
