Compaq Presario SR1214NX Review

by Sean Captain

- For a budget system, the Presario SR1214NX looks as good as its high-end siblings. The solid, black metal case features an attractive front panel with swinging doors that hide the drive bays. The front also provides easy connection options: ports for a headphone and a microphone, line-in audio, three USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire port, and a media card reader.
