ASUS Barebone Vintage 2

Not a terrible price, quality case material

Its been about a year and the USB ports are almost dead. Wireless HID devices and card readers will work, but anything requiring a good amount of power wont like external hdd's, or a ipod/zune/phone will NOT. I kept getting delayed write failure erros,...

Stable ; Inexpensive ; Decent Drive Support

Lack of documentation on how to correctly update the BIOS

Solidly built,small size.Good expandability

A little cramped inside,but no sharp edges to cut you.Could use an easier way to update the bios.Lousy power supply,underpowered

cheaper than most. quicker because its already assembled

do not use the AMD 64 LE-1600 cpu, it will not take it! i tried 5 hrs of bios searching to get it to update or flash. finally after all of that i came to the conclusion this cpu is not capable of working right unless you wish to press F1 to continue...

Nice looking case, relatively well put together. Onboard video is of reasonable quality

The Motherboard failed after 6 months. The PCI-E slot never worked properly, preventing the use of a video card. The power supply had to be replaced, won't work if you use a video card, or most common hardware, which require a higher wattage

Very cheap (about half the price of getting a motherboard, PSU, and case separately AR), works after some fiddling. IDE & SATA inputs. Small footprint. Works

Had to flash the BIOS to get it to recognize my 5000+ Black Edition (still worked, but had to press F1 to boot every time). Power supply is a bit low powered. A bit cramped inside the case

Great little machine. If you buy you need to go here and download manual

No case fans. Nothing is said in the writeup about needing case fans

This is a nice combo. The jumpers came preset which saved me like 5 minutes :) But it's a nice mid range computer. Make sure to change the PSU voltage supply to 115V, it comes preset at 230V

DON'T BUT THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE VERY HIGH COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE!! The BIOS did not come with the latest update to use the AM2 CPU and the EZ-Flash Utility didn't work right. I've never updated BIOS before and it took me 4 hours to research and test 5 other...

Great Price, good features

I have had 4 different iterations of this case, all AMD Based 2 different Socket AM2 (667 ddr2), 2 (800 ddr2). All 4, I repeat all 4 have had either bad onboard video or would not boot at all. Newegg of course took them all back no questions asked. I...

Sturdy case for low price, 2x IDE controller ; for $300.00 with 50 rebate ; AMD x2 4000+, 2 GB DDR2 800, 160 GB sata II ASUS DVD Burner MS keyboard. Use your old ssytem XP = Great upgrade

Needs bios update for new AMD CPU, Asus update utility has some issues
