I have totally LOVED this fine machine (9357) for almost 8 years, but it seems to have died? It is used in my home office/guest bedroom as a computer and TV (LOVE the TV Tuner option).....I have a small business, which also has an offbrand PC which is also Vista based; so guess it's time to move to a newer option since VISTA is no longer being supported and my business handles secure transactions and I rely on a working computer.
All keyboards, mouses, and monitors with the current 2 computers are working fine, and I've decided to stick with HP, especially since I ran up on 3 good?affordable options:

HP Slim Desktop 450-011 (floor model/complete from BJ's for $349)
HP 450-121(unopened in box from BJ's for $549)
HP Pavillion 550-077db (floor model/complete from Sam's for $420)
I have someone who will help me install - for a premium of course, but before I get him involved, I thot I would go to a forum for advice on which HP.
He is pretty much a ChromeBook/ChromeBox lover....but still works on everything.
Thank you for any advice.
