Consumer review (newegg.com)
I bought two of these systems back in 2/2011 (at time of writing, 9/2011) and upgraded their memory and put in Geforce GT 430 video cards and they run magnificently! I shy away from prebuilt systems because of all the bloatware and tendency for parts...
No cons

I forgot in the review I've made: the SD card reader is not working properly, never really worked. Don't know about the other card readers, tried to use only the SD one ; Disappointing while buying a new computer, for sure
Consumer review (newegg.com)
you get what you pay for, and its a good deal. i like the case, its not too big and flashy like the expensive ones and has all you need.
Full of brand name parts, very expandable PC. buying a new graphics card, psu and some ram and this guy should be a legit gaming cpu at a budget price
none really, i mean psu is low, but what do you expect for a 370 dollar pc

I usually custom build my machines, and I would be hard pressed to find the pieces this one has to build any cheaper. I knew ZT was a fairly new company, but so far this machine has run like a champ. I got it for my wife, as a home office machine, to...
No bloatware. Superfast set up. Multiple inputs for USB and card readers. Fast processor, good onboard sound and video. Great LG dvd player included. Lots of room for expansion cards. Big HD, lots of RAM expansion available
Um
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Got this for my mother as a replacement for her aging system. Set up in a flash, no problems. Installed Fallout: New Vegas to test its capabilities, ran decent on lowest graphics; plan to add some RAM, which should boost that. Good value.
Easy setup, easy to upgrade, runs near-silent. Great everyday use/web-surfing comp
Low power for a gaming rig, would need upgrading

For only 375, its definitely a good freakn deal.
Its full of name brand parts. MSI mAtX board, Western Digital 500gb HD, Crucial RAM, LG DVD Drive. It also is pretty quick, and I love how many options the BIOS has for OCing - does come with some useful software
My integrated audio came DAW which kinda sucks (only front output worked, no sound from rear outputs). So I got a sound card to compensate. I have a warranty from squaretrade (they rock) and I'll eventually get it fixed through them since they pay for...

I'm ordering a video card this week and im looking foreward to all the room for expansion i have with RAM, psu, and gpu. this thing is a beast for the price
Fast shipping ; the processor is amazing ; has a ton of potential ; runs all the games i want it to with no flaws ; windows 7 is crisp clean and way better than vista
the cpu fan is a little loud and i don't know where to adjust it from but not necessarily a bad thing still runs amazing

Quick shipping.Up and running in a few minutes.For day to day computing seems to be a good machine for the money
Small cabnet
Consumer review (newegg.com)
At least the mouse and keyboard worked when I plugged it a laptop. Otherwise the rest of the computer was a brick
I might have something nice to say if I could get the system to turn on. Got the computer hooked it up, and nothing. Computer would not power on. Called ZT Tech support. They told me the computer was DOA, shipped it back to Newegg for a replacement....
