CNET have published a review of the HP Pavilion Elite HPE-112y dektop PC. 'On the outside, the Pavilion Elite HPE-112Y and its glossy black plastic chassis looks like most of the other retail desktops out there. We're glad to report that the inside has improved, however, from older models in the Elite series. Previous Elites had a clunky metal sleeve jammed inside to accommodate one of HP's proprietary removable hard drives, which the company sold as optional extras. The new model has no such sleeve, but the interior cage for the fixed hard drives is still an inconvenient remnant from that old design. You need to remove the entire assembly to add a drive or remove the current one. At least that and other upgrades should be easier with the up-sell drive sleeve removed.'
