robrowowboski,I am afraid i shall be not answering your question as directly as you probably would like. However i am giving my comment as the current USER of 2 HP computers (granted not as current as the 2 you are considering). You will find that with HP they tend to be QUITE proprietary as to what will work in their products and what won't. For example (unless they have changed) their power supplies are unique and cannot be swapped for other generic brands .And if you ever did need to replace a power SUPPLY theirs are much more expensive and not everyone carries them.I have found this to be the case with other internal hardware as well.Now whether Wally offers any other brands i do not know.Maybe if you can delay your purchase and open up your options that might be something you want to concider.good luck,truenorthrobrowbroski...

You'll probably get a lot of differing opinions on this one.

Truenorth makes a good point...while I do know some people who absolutely love their HPs there are those who don't...

However...if you can't find something else, like truenorth recommends...and you're stuck between choosing one of the two you've presented us...

Let me ask you this:  What will you be using this computer for?

One of them has an AMD dual core processor, while the other has an Intel dual core.  There are those who swear by the both of them...and both of them are equally fast.

One has 2 GB memory...and the other 1GB.  One has a larger hard drive than the other.  One uses integrated onboard video, while the other has a separate card.

If it were me...I'd go with the one that has the bigger hard drive nd more memory.  Though it's graphics are integrated...you can always upgrade down the LINE.  It'll also perform better than the one that has less memory.

There's not much DIFFERENCE in price, too.  So it's really a no-brainer...but hey...it's your decision.

I'd also wait to see if you get more replies to this thread before making a decision...and not just jump into the purchase...okay?

Best of luck to ya...

So that's my opinioni am not a fan of prebuilt comps, but if you have to choose between the two, i would go for the slimline.

reasons being:

-slighty faster CPU
-better integrated video
-larger harddriveok thanks i think im gonna go qith the slim line one because if i get the warranty and the power supply goes out they will have to replace it there selfNeither has a dedicated graphics card, the second one will run Vista better because it has more RAM and a much more capable integrated chip.  However, if you want the full experience of Vista, neither will do you very well, unless you upgrade the graphics card.
This will be harder to do in the slimline PC, however that PC is better in other respects.
