Manufacturer: Hewlett Packard
Product Type: Personal Computer

Product Description
Hewlett-Packard has given the concept of value a whole new look with the HP Pavilion PC. Combining a dependable, high-speed processor with a stylish, compact, all-new chassis design, it delivers a price/performance balance that is ideal for first-time PC buyers and those who want an inexpensive computer. Beneath the sleek, translucent design, however, is plenty of room to grow, because this design allows you to add features, as your computing needs change, boosting performance and expanding your multimedia possibilities in the process. The HP Pavilion PC - it is quality and value.
Amazon.com Product Description
As the mid-priced entry in Hewlett-Packard's mid-level 700 series of desktop computers, the HP Pavilion 754n Desktop PC should offer a good balance between cost and performance. And it does. Yet it's also an impressively powerful machine, loaded with a fast Pentium processor and a bevy of high-end features you won't always find at this price point.
At the heart of the system lies a data-crunching 2.53 MHz Intel Pentium 4 CPU and 512 MB of PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory (expandable to one full GB). The only potentially weak processing link is the graphics accelerator; an integrated Intel Extreme Graphics chipset with up to 64 MB shared video memory. Though the CPU and memory are ready to blaze through virtually any desktop task, the graphics chipset is not ideal for 3-D animation and drawing packages or the latest 3-D games.
HP has clearly constructed the Pavilion 754n to meet the growing demands of those who need alternative methods of data storage and movement. Apart from its massive 80 GB Ultra DMA hard disk, the system sports a 3.5-inch diskette drive, a 48X CD-ROM drive and a DVD+RW/+R drive--the latter of which allows you to burn home movies to disc, create mixed music CDs and backup copious quantities of information. HP has also installed a full half-dozen ultra-fast USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals and two IEEE 1394 ports for high-speed links with external devices such as digital camcorders, scanners and drives.
The Pavilion 754n features a broad range of useful amenities, including a two-button PS/2 scrolling mouse, an HP Internet Command Center one-touch keyboard, a 10/100 Base-T networking interface for high-speed LAN and e-communication access, an internal 56K modem for low-speed connectivity, and a pair of self-enclosed Polk Audio speakers. It should be noted that the system does not include a monitor, thus allowing users to choose a custom model from the many brands and styles available today.

Nice Computer.......2004-01-17
lemons or not?.......2003-09-09
I got a lemon at first ..........2003-08-24
Stable PC- HP Pavilion 754n.......2003-08-13
Althought I got mine refurbished, the price was great for the product. I built 2 other PCs before and had trouble with various reasons like an overheating cpu. All I can say is that this quiet PC should last you for years. The DVD writer is a great tool for modern PCs these days because you can store home videos and back up large quantities of data.
The only slight downside is that the video is integrated so it is OK for gaming. I would recommend buying an AGP video card. The good news is that the hard drive space is 80GB and you can hold a lot of data. I kind of disliked the idea of having a partition of the hard drive. HP should have included recovery discs or something. Other than that this PC is great!
Good buy.......2003-03-18
Jukebox(preinstalled) is a pain in the you-know-where, and does not run without registering, but is setup as the default player of all music files.
More, as I discover...
