Had the right components and specs for my needs, basically a general purpose machine for working on stock market activities as well as some Photoshop work. Runs reasonably quiet, and very cool. Ten USB ports on MoBo back panel! Nice. And lots of space inside the case. There are 4 unused 5.25" bays and one 3.5" bay in front, accessible behind the door.
Love the blue lights. Called IBP twice with some issues and had a quick connection with a tech who spoke perfect US English, answered all my questions and invited me to call anytime for free tech service. Wow! Try to get that from the big companies.
The i7-860 and the GTS250 are "good mid-range of the upper echelon", as my friend says, just right for me. I may add 4GB more RAM, but have not seen any need for it.
Completely smooth set-up out of the box. Note: the 1GB GTS250 card has one DVI, one HDMI and one VGA connector. So I can run my twin 28" monitors in digital mode, but needed a different cable. No problem. Otherwise, there is only one little nitpick: the front side USB and headset ports are way down on the lower right side of the case. The window bling is on the left side so the port connections are typically facing away from the user, like against a wall or desk, making access awkward.
IBP, or more properly the case maker NZXT, could have placed the ports in a more convenient location. I did that yesterday, and now have ports and card reader in the upper front of the case. Easiest case I have ever worked on.
I give this consumer experience 5+ stars :)

We just recently purchased this computer when it went on sale for $$$. Setup was very easy and no problems at all. The screen is HUGE and I love it! Windows 7 runs so smoothly and works great. We have used it as a touchscreen but that is not the main reason we got it. It has a very sleek and classy look to it. I love the fact that it is a all in one so there is no bulky tower showing anyhwere. So far I have no regrets on this one. My daughter who is seven even can work this computer by herself and loves it! It was either the Acer, Sony, or HP. After much consideration we didn't get the Sony because of the price and we compared the Sony to the Acer and couldn't really tell much of a difference except for the price. As for the HP the reviews on it were a little disappointing and even the salesperson said so too. We chose the Acer and have had no disappointments yet. If you can get your hands on one get it, you won't be disappointed.
