God help you if it fails out of warranty :) OHHHHHHHHHH yeah :) Basically I look at them as a oversized laptop, because that's basically what they are except everything is connected to the back of the screen. Done several repairs, one a motherboard cost approx $300 and it wan't anything flash. One insurance job I did for a customer after the earthquakes once ( they don't bounce to well -- The AIO's not the customer) ;) The replacement screen since it was all one sealed unit was over $1200. There is another option as well, a standard Screen of your sizing, then attach a Intel NUC (search google for them) but they are a small box with minimum hardware.	wainuitech (129)

He'll upgrade it for you if you want too. Just a matter of how to pay for it of course. I bought an older AIO off him and bunged an SSD in it (with duct tape, long story) and it ran like a dream. Or get a small form factor pc and a screen if you have the space, works out better in the long run.	dugimodo (138)

This one for $1799.00 • 2.9GHz AMD A9-9410 dual core processor • 16GB RAM • 3TB Hard Drive • Integrated Graphics Just helped setup one of these God its slow....it REALLY needs a SSD . how do you tell someone their new PC is a budget spec and will allways be a bit sluggish NOT a PC for the impatient or power/business user	1101 (13337)

SSD's certainly make things hum along well . Just finished installing W10 in an HP all in one, thought it would be slowish even with a SSD, but surprisingly its actually quite snappy . 20 sec from completely off to fully up and running . Disabled all the apps that don't need to run in the background and tweaked the system a bit . Here's the specs( a real power machine ) :D -- NOT . 8699 Usually if a machine is low spec, while tempted to tell them its a piece of crap, I usually say " its running to within its spec's" And they can figure out what that means ;)	wainuitech (129)
