How often does the manufacturer recommend cleaning the 1280X with the Jet Clean System? Is daily use too much wear &amp; tear for the Jet Clean System?

I use the Cleaning System after every shave and find that the shaver runs smoother than when I don't, indicating some Lubricating function in the cleaning fluid. I generally get about one month before the fluid in the tank gets nasty enough to dump and wash out the holding tank. The Cleaning Liquid is cheaper in some stores. Check around for better pricing.

I've been using mine for eleven days now and LOVE it. Got it from Dell, see above. This is absolutely the best upgrade... all the applets work VERY well and the screen is a nice hi-res. Easily one of the best computer purchases I have ever made...

I've been using mine since the 680 first came out and I haven't had a single issue. It helps if you create a custom fan profile within EVGA Precision X in order to ramp the fans up higher and keep the card cooler. I've had it overclocked since I bought it and haven't had any artifacts or crashes, well no crashes because of the overclock. My advice to you would be to wait for the new 700 Nvidia cards to come out in the next couple months and buy one of those instead depending on the price.

Once the warranty is up I'd say yeah! I wouldn't and don't do any upgrading with any computer I purchase until the warranty has expired. Now that it's expired I've changed out the graphics, the PSU, the HDD (adding two 1 TB HDD) to keep up with the game I play. Other than that I haven't really upgraded anything. It was a solid computer for me, I did have an early problem with it re: the motherboard but the folks at iBuyPower made it right and the shipping to, repair and turn around time was very reasonable. The computer is still performing very well in BF4, BF3, BF2, Crysis series, Titanfall, etc... it did with the standard hardware in it. But since I bumped it up it's doing very well for me... now if only I can keep up with it on my end re: my game play. Hope that helps.

I've worn out the warranty on Waterwise 8800. The unit has been good to me. It's about 7 years old. I take care of it as far as dust accumulation.

Sean, Our systems use only standard parts, so upgrading is easy! Also, proper installation of hardware, that does not damage the system, will *not* void your warranty.

I bought this for a buddy about a year ago or so. It still works great he says. It's obviously not a high end gaming graphics card by any means, so if your planning on doing anything more than watching HD videos or playing some pretty weak games on it I'd recommend you get a better card. The thing about anything in a PC is you have to treat it right. You have to keep it cool & dust free if you want anything to last. Point of the story: Buy the card that fits your needs and treat it properly and it'll last. If you overburden it and let it overheat like crazy, it'll be dead within a couple years(or less).

This amount of processing power is overkill if you only plan on running office productivity applications. However, for running simulation software or CPU-hungry applications like Photoshop+plugins this is perfect. Finally, get an extended warranty...25 days past the warranty period and one of my USB 2 ports stopped working even though the device (keyboard) is constantly plugged in and the laptop is not moved at all. (My Toshiba replaced a desktop.)

Battery life is great! I get about 3+ hours of basic use (browsing, etc) and about 1.75-2 hours using photoshop, light gaming, etc. if you manually specify most programs to use the intel graphics it lasts quite a while more than the nvidia graphics, but you'll always trade power for speed. Overall it's a great setup and I've thoroughly enjoyed mine for both work (photographer) and play (gamer).

I had a 240 and the upgrade wasn't amazing straight out of the box - if you're lucky and get one that you can unlock, then you're obviously in good shape. Otherwise you won't notice much improvement until you overclock it a bit - luckily there you have a lot of guides on the Internet specifically for the Phenom X2 550. Mine's running comfortably at 3.72 GHz, (1.45v, x15.5 multiplier, CPU up from 200 to 240) - it's on all the time because it's a work/media server, and restarts are only necessary when I'm installing updates (or it crashes playing Far Cry 3). For the price, it was a good stopgap upgrade, but I'm still looking to move to Intel at the middle-to-end of the year.

Sorry do not play any games on this machine - been a great workhorse for me though, no issues 18 months into owning it. Love the battery life, graphics, speed. Bought it one year after model was discontinued - good for the price. Like the touch screen, hate Windows 8.

Had it for almost a year now and no problems at all. I'm going to be getting rid of it due to the fact that I'm going to be watercooling in a little bit in a new case, but it was amazing while I had it.You can't go wrong with ASUS motherboards. It's scary how reliable they are.

You don't! The only cleaning is surface cleaning on the outside of the unit. The manual recommends wiping with a dry cloth. It's maintenance free - plug it in and only dry wipe the shell when needed.

It can't hurt. I redo it once a year or so (If I even keep a CPU that long), whichay be considered overkill by some. It only takes a few minutes.

I love mine and honestly as long as you keep it clean after using it, then that's the biggest maintenance there is. I recommend this 99%

this is a question for Hamilton Beach... sounds like she should return the processor and get a new one on her warrantee... this one sounds faulty.
