Manufacturer's Description

The Aspire X1700 is just one-third the size of a normal PC yet packs a very powerful punch. It has an orchestrating big performance in a small package for truly dynamic and enjoyable digital entertainment. The glossy case features a semi-translucent cover that hides ports, presenting a smooth facade and refined look. Recessed, blue LEDs complement the silver Acer logo and reflect a futuristic feel.

Acer Aspire X1700-U3700A

Space-saving design ; includes unique extras such as HDMI video, digital audio output, and eSATA port

Acer Aspire X1700-U3700A

By (pcmag.com)

The Acer Aspire X1700-U3700A ($480 list) is a small-form-factor desktop, shoehorning a full-powered PC into a smaller chassis. It's got enough oomph to run some serious programs, yet is priced under $500. It could be the replacement for that primary PC...

Compact form factor. Some DX10 3D capabilities. More powerful than nettops and budget PCs. HDMI port

Single-digit 3D scores. No Blu-ray. Limited expansion. Crapware. No Wi-Fi

The Acer Aspire X1700-U3700A is a decent PC for the den, home theater, or home office. It's got enough power to be your primary PC and is capable of moderate multimedia tasks.

Not sure I would buy again!

Bought this item 1 year ago and after 9 months of careful use the motherboard failed and now I have to find parts

Didn't Last Until the Water Got Hot

Bought as a refurb. Lasted about 6 months. Was okay performance-wise while it lasted, but was always noisy.
