The hardware by itself looks nice but it might be a noisy machine. HP support only windows Vista for this machine and I do not know what bios and CHIPS it was built upon yet.
If it has the parts that this review claims: http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/hp-compaq-business-dc7800/4507-3118_7-32598...
I noticed the TPM 1.2 . Am I going have to start dealing with the "trusted" computing crap when I get another computer?
Also, I just noticed that the seller's answer to a question suggests that the power supply is borderline.
Due to "2.33" I assume it's not the E6750 but maybe E6550. And as long you do not expect it to lift your desktop to the air it should be a good machine.
So no gotchas with Core 2 Duo and 2G of RAM.
Compared to INTEL ATOM it is rated for 65w which most ATOM are about 15w.
Basic EMAIL(not 40k emails) and basic browsing(not too much concurrently open tabs) should run simultaneously by default.
Development work.
If you can buy the 4GB as a package it will give you more air to breath while comparing it to the old machine.

I'm considering the beast listed here, especially if my current beast dies: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883250296&cm_sp=Da... I note that it has an Intel Core 2 Duo and 2G of RAM. It has those in common with a lot of cheap PC's I've seen. Are there gotchas here that I should know about? I'm already aware that Core 2 is on Intel's discontiued list. My current beast has Pentium 4 with 4G of RAM.
