I carefully did my research before buying this computer today. I saw the comments mentioning that the power supply was perhaps underpowered, but all I needed to do was to add a data disc. I had a quite new SATA 1 TB drive on my old PC. That's where we stored all of our data from our home network. I knew that there was an available internal bay and SATA port for this drive. I even transferred a number of application settings to the drive so that I could move them to the new, really fast computer. Well, the computer works great. But when I cracked it open to install the secondary SATA hard drive, I discovered that none of the available power power connectors would fit an SATA drive. There are 4 or 5 old-styled 4 pin connectors, but I have no idea what they are for. The motherboard has no IDE ports. I ended up disconnecting the power supply from the CD/DVD drive and connecting it to the secondary drive so I could continue working on the network. But it really hacks me off that I'm going to have to spend on hour on Monday going to a specialty computer shop to buy an adapter for something that should be routinely available these days. It only costs' $4-5 bucks. It looks like a local computer store stocks these adapters. But, frankly, my time is worth way more than that. Probably 20 times. Plus mileage. I guess the upshot is that HP should upgrade the power supply. The folks at Best Buy were very nice when I went back late this afternoon. They were really surprised when I told them about the problem; the fellow actually opened the demo box to verify what I had said. I have no complaint with Best Buy. It's the product. And, to reiterate, it seems to be a great computer.
