HP Pavilion p6754y

The entry-level desktop is, by definition, not a system designed for media professionals or competitive gamers. It's designed to meet daily computing needs while not going over budget. The HP Pavilion p6754y ($559.99 list at Best Buy) checks all those boxes and still includes a few extra flourishes as well. Though not without its limitations, you'll find that the p6754y delivers strong day-to-day performance, copious amounts of storage space, and at a price that's easy on the pocketbook. The p6754y has a fairly standard design: It's a traditional tower measuring 15.3 by 6.9 by 16.3 inches (HWD), with a basic black sheet metal housing. The front of the chassis features plastic panels with a gunmetal grey metallic sheen, trimmed with shiny chrome accents. Hidden behind one plastic panel is a DVD burner. The desktop also bundles in LightScribe label printing technology, you can print labels directly onto LightScribe discs without having to mess with any external label printers, adhesive labels, or special markers. Behind another plastic panel are two USB 2.0 ports, a headphone jack and a microphone jack. On back of the desktop are VGA and DVI-D ports for connecting a monitor, and an array of audio jacks that supports up to 7.1 surround sound.
