The Basics

Graphics and Sound
Video is powered by the ATI Radeon XPress 200 IGP video/graphics card, which delivers good, though not high-end, 3D graphics. It delivers up to 128 MB of video RAM shared with the system RAM. ATI's HyperMemory technology allows the chipset to run in either Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) mode or with dedicated frame buffer memory to enhance graphics performance. It also features an integrated audio card with microphone, line-in, and headphone jacks.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
For expansion, the SR1750NX has three PCI slots (two available), one PCI Express slot (available), two 5.25-inch external bays (one available), two external 3.5-inch bays (one available), and one internal 3.5-inch bay (occupied). It comes with a built-in floppy drive and the following external connectors:

It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Preloaded System and Software
The pre-installed Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (Update Rollup 2) is essentially Windows XP Professional Edition with a variety of tools to help you to create, organize, and enjoy digital media ranging from music to home movies to photo slide shows. The Update Rollup 2 upgrade offers support for the Windows Media Center Extender technology built into XBox 360 game consoles, which lets you access entertainment from your Media Center PC--whether itÕs live and recorded TV and movies, music, photos or Online Spotlight--on any TV in the house.

It also comes preloaded with Microsoft Works 8.0 (for working with word processing and spreadsheet documents), HP Image Zone 5, Symantec Norton Internet Security 2005 AntiSpyware Edition (with 60 days of LiveUpdate), Encarta Encyclopedia 2005, Quicken New User Edition 2005, Microsoft Money 2005, Sonic DigitalMedia Plus, Sonic MyDVD Plus, WinDVD 5 Player Basic, Google Toolbar, and PC Doctor.

The included HP Image Zone 5 photo and imaging software makes it easy to organize, edit, share, print, protect, and store your photos and video clips. Organize and find your photos easily by timeline, keywords, and/or location using the unique photo-globe mapping tool. Remove red eye and fix other common problems. Share your photos quickly via e-mails that include thumbnails with links to the full-sized images--without downloading time-consuming attachments.

Dimensions and Weight

What's in the Box

3 out of 5 stars Good for the price but.........2007-03-23

This isn't bad for the price but I think it should have been better. The ram memory was mis-matched and I've noticed that with some games it will crash on occasion and I think it's because of this. MS office is only trial vs so if you need to write documents your stuck with only notepad. I've not run into to many problems with it other than these minor problems and I'm sure I'll have some when the service warrenty expires. Everything else seems to function as described.

5 out of 5 stars Compaq Presario.......2007-02-04

I was very pleased with the service from the vendor. The package arrived in a timely manner intact. The computer is everything I wanted it to be.

1 out of 5 stars Cheap is not Better - Buyer Beware!!.......2006-12-23

Okay, it has been 48 hours since I purchased the first one from Best Buy and now I am preparing to return the 3rd one to Circuit City! First one had a broken dvd drive, would not recognize any disk, 2nd one windows would not work, third one has a bad modem. DO NOT BUY! I can't believe how much time and effort I have wasted, not to mention money because of having both stores do the set up and adware removal, only to go through this. In addition to all the faulty manufacturing, I found it to be REALLY slow, more so than my current 4 yr. old model and the graphics are very low quality and antiquated looking. Save yourself the trouble.

4 out of 5 stars a pretty good buy.......2006-05-14

I never have been able to afford a top-of-the-line computer, so all my experiences have been with models that come with a complaint or two. This is my second Compaq Presario and as with the first one, it's about what I expected. It is the first Athlon processor for me, and it seemed slow to me. I check and the computer systems said it was under 1 GHz. That confused me, as this 3500+ is supposed to be approximately 2.2 GHz. I called the 24/7 support number(which is great btw. No more website FAQs if you don't want to spent an hour searching and not finding what you're looking for!) and the tech explained to me that it was program driven, meaning it speeds up on demand. He had me turn off the energy saver and there it was, 2.2 GHz! So things are starting up faster and the small delays on the internet are gone. I don't know if "delays" are characteristic of Athlon processors or not, but apparently there are things you can do about it.
Physically, the front cover design is a pain. It's hard to remove. The covers to the Disk drives bother me. Yes, they look nice, but once they're open, there's no way to close the drive without just pushing on the tray. That increases the chance it'll jam or break, but oh well...
All in all it was a good value for the money.

1 out of 5 stars 45 min to load.......2006-04-05

Ok lots of good reviews but my experiance is a bad one. Took me 45 min to load the first time. Restarts take about 8 min or so. Keeps locking up for no apparent reason. I will be taking this one back. Sounds like a great deal at the store but after getting home and trying to work with it, not impressed. My emachine that I was replacing is faster than this compaq that I bought at CompUsa. I will not recommend this machine.

Product Description

ImageDeck is designed for the busy office where there is no time to stand in line to scan. No complicated connectors, compatibility problems, or scanning software to learn! Just put it anywhere in the room. It's as easy to use as a copier and saves images to an Iomega Zip disk or a 3.5" diskette. Images are captured in full 36-bit color input and up to 600 dpi for rich color and sharp detail.

Amazon.com Review

The Microtek ImageDeck is both a scanner and a stand-alone scanning appliance, meaning that you can use it completely independently of a computer. Setup involves simply plugging in the AC power cord. The control panel is relatively self-explanatory, and a simple reading of the accompanying owner's manual introduces you to the ImageDeck's major functions. Additional programs are provided which are easily installed on a computer and are useful for a range of post-scanning operations, from text editing of OCR scans to image enhancement.

The ImageDeck can be attached directly to a computer or to a printer, but scans well on its own too, saving the scanned files to either Zip disks or 3.5-inch disks. We preferred the former for obvious reasons of storage capacity; however, the smaller disk can be useful for smaller-size scans. Since there's no way to see the image prior to the scanning, there is no previewing involved. Rather, you simply choose between two preset sizes (the larger of which encompasses the entire scanning surface), or the auto feature. This latter option automatically detects the edges of any item placed on the surface (a process which takes slightly longer than a nonauto scan). Since there is no way to view remaining disk space, warning indicators on the LED display panel alert you when a disk is write-protected, full, or unformatted.

Connecting a printer to the ImageDeck allows it to function as a copier. There are obvious limitations with this configuration, most notably an inability to inspect, preview, or correct a scanned image unless you connect to a PC. Furthermore, each scan is numerically labeled--starting with either "img01.pcx" or "img01.jpg," and continuing up to 99 before reverting back to 01. There's no way to further identify or rename files on disks in the ImageDeck, although it's easy to do so on a connected PC. --David Greenberger

Amazon.com Product Description

Once again, Microtek has defined a new product category with the introduction of the ImageDeck stand-alone scanning appliance. As a next-generation digital imaging and storage device, ImageDeck is the first scanning product to operate independently of a computer. Simply plug it in a wall outlet, and ImageDeck is ready to scan on demand.

The heart of ImageDeck is a 36-bit, 600 by 600 dpi desktop scanner. The product also features a built-in Iomega Zip drive as well as a 3.5-inch floppy drive. ImageDeck thus allows for quick and easy portability of high-resolution scanned images to a PC or Macintosh for editing, e-mail, presentations, faxing, OCR, and digital archiving.

ImageDeck serves a dual function as a high-resolution color copier when connected with a printer's parallel port. ImageDeck is operated through an easy push-button process that allows users to format a disk, select resolution, choose image or letter scanning, select color or black-and-white scanning, and determine compression level. Users may also access customized settings, an LED display for feedback, or the stop/clear button to reset their options.

5 out of 5 stars Best Scanner for shear easy of use.......2000-11-03

In about 10 minutes after getting the scanner out of the box I was working on images I scanned. The panel only has 9 buttons and a very easy display to understand.

The only small draw back I found was that the scan area was not clearly marked for where you put diffrent size paper. I have had it for about a year and I never have to worry about moving it or re-configuring it for my new computer.

This product is just plain simple quality.

            The vote is still out on this one. My husband hunts a lot, and our family camps even more. We own "walkie talkie" talk devices, but I was looking for something with greater clarity and range. So far he gets greater range on the farm, if both handlers are outside. However, if one is inside the barn, range is only about 2-3 miles. I was hoping for a consistent 5 miles. The charger and batteries work great! We will just have to wait and see what happens this summer when we are out in the mountains camping. If you see one floating down the stream you will know my final vote is in...

            2 out of 5 stars Midland GXT410VP#.......2007-01-03

            I had previous experience with the older GXT310 walkie talkies and decided to upgrade to this more powerful set. I have been disappointed. I purchased 2 sets of (2)each and when received one did not work right out of the box. Another quite working within a two week period and even though they are rated at 12 mile range, they dont seem to reach out any further than the older units.

            3 out of 5 stars Not quite what I wanted.......2006-07-18

            I was hoping for a pair of radios that could be stored on the chargers until needed. Thus the radios would always have full batteries. Alas, this was not the case. The charger always charges and will destroy the batteries if left on there continually. So instead, I have to charge the batteries and then unhook the base from the wall to use the base to store the radios.

            They seem to work well otherwise. They are large due to essentially using AA batteries. I will update this in the future with any additional information.

            1 out of 5 stars Piece of junk.......2006-03-23

            1 out of 5 stars Memorex means "customer unfriendly" junk!.......2007-05-20

            I sadly purchased this dvd player from the local Target with high hopes and a thin wallet. The player lasted three months (guarantee limit) plus four days. On the disasterous fourth day I inserted a previously playable disc into the unit, pushed the disc tray "close" button - the tray closed and then opened, closed and then opened, closed and then opened and on and on. I then resorted to the manual microprocessor "reset" procedure i.e. turn off unit, unplug for at least one minute, then reinsert power plug and "bingo" the unit SHOULD work properly. Unfortunately, that was not the case. It continued to auto cycle - tray in, tray out etc. I returned the dvd player to Target - they were no help (expired guarantee), but gave me Memorex telephone number. I called Memorex in Florida - their customer no-service informed me it would be $98 to repair plus shipping and handling for a $45 machine. No thanks - I will just buy "cheapos" in the future and exchange them up to end of 90 day guarantee(?)period WHEN they fail. The dvd player will NOT be Memorex and the dealer will not be Target!!!

            2 out of 5 stars worked well until it died (2 years).......2007-02-02

            I received this for Christmas in 2004, and it worked well for two years until it died in December 2006. The warranty is 90 days, so I asked Customer Support of they just expect this sort of thing? They offered to repair it for $24.75, but I could buy a new one for about the same price. Still trying to decide what to do.

            1 out of 5 stars Don't buy this one!.......2006-09-11

            Very disappointed. Memorex claims that this DVD player will play DVDs, VCDs, Kodak Picture CDs, and music CDs, but all it will play for me are pre-recorded DVDs. It does that very well, and has lots of remote control features for the price, but it won't play my pre-recorded CDs; it won't play any VCD I've ever tried; and it won't play any home-burned DVDs or Picture CDs made on either a Dell or an HP computer.

            I returned the first one I bought (thinking it was just a bad machine), but the replacement behaves in just the same way.

            There are much better machines out there if you need a DVD player to handle lots of different things.

            5 out of 5 stars It works fine.......2005-12-31

            First of all, I'm not a kid. :) I'm just too lazy to login. :)

            Well,I've just bought it from Target for my room's TV,because the price is so low.:)I highly doubted if it could work at first, you know, it's too cheap:). After I put my "pal" format and region zero DVD into it, it worked fine! And beyond my expectation, there are hacks that can transform it into region zero DVD player! I think it's great for a 29 bucks DVD player.

            1 out of 5 stars It doesn't work .......2005-12-27

            I just open it and it doesn't work. The remote doesn't work.And it doesn't open. But the power comes on. I'm going to go return now..

              Product Description

              Ideal for both SOHO customers, families with home networks and those interested in photo printing, the Lexmark Z65n with PrecisionPhoto technology can generate 4800 x 1200 dpi resolution in black and color on photo paper, inkjet paper and transparencies, as well as 4800 x 600 dpi on plain paper. Best-in-class print speeds of up to 21 ppm in black and up to 15 ppm in color make it a welcome addition to the busiest environment. High-volume users will appreciate PrecisionSense's built-in media sensor and dual paper trays for faster media transition. The Z65n's automatic cartridge alignment ensures optimal print output without manual adjustment.

              Amazon.com Product Description

              The Z65n gives you print speeds up to 21 ppm black and 15 ppm color. You'll also enjoy up to 4,800 x 1,200 dpi (5.8 megapixels) on photo paper, coated paper, and transparencies (4,800 x 600 dpi on plain paper). Automatic Cartridge Alignment eliminates the need for manual alignment. An optical sensor reads the alignment page and automatically updates the printer settings.

              With Automatic Paper Type Sensing, the printer automatically recognizes different paper types and adjusts the printer settings for optimal print quality. Having two paper trays increases the amount of paper the printer can hold. It also reduces the hassle of having to manually change the paper each time you want to print on a different type of media. The printer's Accu-Feed paper handling system virtually eliminates paper jams while handling a wide range of media, from envelopes to paper stock (up to 150 pounds).

              Variable drop size dramatically increases the quality of the output. The 3pL drops are for highly detailed areas, while the 10pL drops provide better fill in solid color areas. The printer driver automatically switches between the drop sizes. The printer also has an integrated Ethernet port on its back, which allows for easy network installation.

              1 out of 5 stars Don't Buy.......2004-03-05

              It's a horrible piece of crap that broke after two weeks. Several of the buttons have stopped working and I'm not waiting around to see how long it'll take for the other keys to conk out.

              4 out of 5 stars PS/2 Port Needed.......2001-12-05

              I just got the keyboard yesterday so I can't fairly rate its performance - but Amazon doesn't list the specs, and though Circuit City's sister listing states "Comes with AT connector and AT to PS/2 Adapter," the keyboard ONLY comes with a PS/2 input.

              No problem, it's still a good deal - just be aware that you either need an available PS/2 port or an AT adapter, which'll cost a few more dollars.

              4 out of 5 stars Good Product. All Windows Compatible.......2001-03-09

              Its a nice product, inspite of its technical details saying that it is for win 95 , it works on all. its also a quite key keyboard. its Definately more worth for its price

              4 out of 5 stars Nice Looks, Good Working Keyboard.......2000-06-12

              This keyboard is used in my music studio- I keep the lights low while mixing and mastering various music I record- the black color of the keyboard is a plus and helps with the ambience of the studio. Being in the right mood is a must while forging music mixes and spending hours with this keyboards makes me feel more in the mood. A definate break from traditional colors. Works like a charm- good response and with a wrist rest I can mix and type for hours through the night!
