considering it has no dedicated GFX, most likely no. Depends what you mean by 'gaming'. Some people consider farmville gaming :D

Minesweeper, solitaire…
A bit of Tetris maybe…
Yeah easy
Simply brilliant, I admire your gaming preference.
Put an $80 video card in it and I'm sure I could find 500GB of games in my Steam, Desura & Origin libraries that this would play.
How about watch full hd movie?

Cheap pc, but I have not had positive experiences with this business. Customer service is really blunt and unhelpful. That's my experience anyway.
I've generally found them good but have never needed to speak to them. Just ordered online and had stuff delivered without fuss.
but have never needed to speak to them
that's were the problems lie………

Second that. My experience with mwave has been terrible too.

Guess it would be an awesome media centre
6 internal 3.5" bays… would make a decent NAS box, better than those underpowered micro PC's everyone seems to go for.
Should handle 720p transcoding too if using it for a media server.
also make a decent Linux box.
I'd buy it if I didn't already have a NAS setup
Che? Underpowered NAS? Sounds like an oxymoron. You want low power in a NAS as you should leave them on 24/7 and low power = cheap to run.
I get ~90megabytes/sec download speed from my HP Microserver, and at $240 it was and still is a bargain NAS.
if it's underpowered it means you can't use it for anything else. it's stuck as just a NAS
My HTPC is an N40L running Xbuntu and XBMC and it happily plays back everything up to and including BRD. At the same time it's our family server with 4x2TB drives and my piracy Rube Goldberg machine with sab/sb/cp/hp and transmission running.
The hardware upgrades were extra RAM (total of 8GB now, bit of overkill), the 4x2TB drives and a $30 video card (HD5450)
They could at least be a little honest about the list prices of the build. The CPU on their own website is $66, not $89. The motherboard is overpriced as well. Guessing all the components are.
Lol they list the 500GB sata drive as worth $89. 2TB at OW WITH an enclosure is $89. This whole deal is a total rip off. NEG.
watch out for these guys they are a bit dodgy.
they cancelled my friends order, who got something while on a special price. first they asked him to wait a month for stock but then just cancelled it after a couple weeks for no reason and they are still selling it on the site (without the special price now).
edit: so, for some reason this posted at top level instead of the nested response I was trying to reply to.
My bad :-\
Would this be good for gaming ?
