The specs say "Expansion bays: (2) 5.25", (6) 3.5""

Does this mean I can add 6 internal drives?

The Chassis Form Factor is "Micro tower". This makes me confused on the possibility of 6 disks in a micro tower frame factor.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the value and reliability of this machine? Looking for a desktop for my husband, wants it mostly for email and surfing the net, but does play some games. Nothing too high end, things like sim city, war games, etc. Thanks!

Shipping was free for me on this system.

This was the same PC on that 1saleaday site the other day for the same price - but w/o the FW CashBack.

This model is not on acer's windows 7 eligibility list for free windows 7 upgrade, so it's a red for me.

I see Aspire M5700 listed under desktops. I assume it would include this model (Aspire M5700-E5801A)

I had no problem signing up for the Windows 7 upgrade with this PC. Hopefully it comes quick...

it has integrated video, which is usually bad for video games, but with the pcie slot, he should be able to add a video card later if he wants it.

Prices of memory will always drop.

Prices of memory will always drop.

Until that type of memory becomes obsolete, and then they go up again. It'll be a while before that happens to DDR3 (which I assume this unit has).

Nope, it has DDR2....

My bad. In that case, it looks like the memory prices are already starting to rise, so I doubt you'll save much if at all by waiting.
