Is this computer any good?

[CastletonSnob]

I got this computer today. Is it any good? Anyone have any experience with Acer computers? I plan on using it to surf the web and watch streams.

I ask because I've heard of Acer products breaking soon after purchase, and I've heard horror stories about Acer's customer service.

I do not think that you should draw any conclusions from any rumors.
First look at who made the parts of the product and you will see that they are not made by Acer.
Among other things, it is a desktop tower and you can always change what you want.
But in another post you ask which company is good and which is bad. There is no way to answer this, because if a company knowingly did bad goods, it would not be on the market never.
You need to know for yourself what you want and what you are going to use this computer for. A lot depends on it.
Remember that universal things are always the worst choice.
That is, if you are a gambler, what is suitable for an engineers, will definitely not suit you and vice versa.

It's fine, overkill rather for just web browsing.

Just found out my computer doesn't have a rear exhaust fan.

It's not really necessary.

What do you mean? I haven't heard anyone worry about that.

Sorry, everyone. Just a bit worried that my computer will die early.

If it feels like it is getting hot inside the case, look to see if there is a cut out for an extra fan for the rear, if there is then just pop one in there, be sure to measure the size of the fan cut out so you can put the right size fan in it. You may or may not have to use a connector from your power supply and use that to power the fan...If the motherboard has an extra fan port your good to go.

They aren't going to build something they would have to replace under warranty early. Your machine has no GPU and a lower powered CPU, it'll be fine without an exhaust fan.
