Asus Essentio CM6850-07 Desktop Features
The CM6850-07 is built into a fairly utilitarian glossy tower chassis. Its rounded front panel and chrome colored accents may help it stand out on the store shelf, but not so much so that it would look out of place in your home. The desktop has conveniently placed media card readers, audio ports, and four USB 2.0 ports at the top of the system. There are four more USB 2.0 ports in the back, along with a pair of faster USB 3.0 ports. I wish that Asus had placed two USB 3.0 ports on the top panel as well, so you’d be encouraged to use the faster interface. Drive manufacturers like Iomega and Western Digital are moving most of their hard drive models from USB 2.0 to 3.0, so the faster drives shouldn’t cost more these days. The back of the system also has a single PS/2 mouse/keyboard port, SPDIF (digital audio), analog audio, and a triumvirate of video ports on the graphics card (DVI, VGA, and HDMI). The system lacks eSATA and a Blu-ray player, but everything else is geared for the multimedia enthusiast/power user. Other multimedia systems like the HP Pavilion Elite h8-1020 , also have next-gen ports like HDMI.
