Couple of thinks I perfer about the Compaq over the Acer.
That looks pretty easy to work with, and it doesn't void your warranty when you open it. Also, if you leave that door ajar, your heating problems would never be an issue, assuming you live in an air conditioned household.
I also found out that it has a 250w power supply, but that should be plenty if you're just planning on putting that card in that Squilliam linked, and taking the preinstalled one out. Actually, both of them have 250w power supplies.
However, in the Compaq under mobo, it says:
| Motherboard | |
| Chipset | NVIDIA nForce 430 |
Does that mean an ATI card won't work with that computer?
Now, the Acer looks familiar inside as well.
It comes with some fair recommendations as well as far as upgrading for gaming.
However, their customer support is notoriously bad, and you have to pay extra for the recovery disc, even though the PC does seem a little superior, I'm also a little worried about power supply, so the less I would be pushing it the better, thus the Compaq still seems like the better and safer choice, but then there's bloatware and I don't know which is better. Apparently, Acer has very little of that stuff on it.

I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
