Desktop PCs are finding themselves usurped by laptops in more and more workplaces, but if power and value are more important to you than portability, a compact business desktop should still be at the top of your list. HP Compaq’s “dc” range of desktops are a familiar sight in PC Authority’s Labs, but now its small-form-factor model has received an internal makeover courtesy of Intel’s latest Q45 Express chipset. Don’t be misled by the moniker, though: the dc7900 Small Form Factor PC isn’t nearly as compact as the likes of HP’s own ultra-slim models. A 378 x 337mm footprint is hardly giant-sized, but if desk space is at a premium it’s worth bearing in mind that smaller versions are available. However, if you can make the room, the dc7900 has plenty to recommend it. Where more compact models have to resort to cramming laptop components inside their diminutive chassis, the dc7900 makes room for fully fledged desktop parts, which makes both upgrading and replacing broken parts significantly cheaper and easier. And, although the core specification may not look like much, it punches far above its mid-range price.

The Core 2 Duo E8500 processor is one of Intel’s recent 45nm parts, and its efficiency helps keep cooling, noise and power consumption to a minimum. The whole PC is amply cooled by a quiet 92mm fan, which draws air in through the front vent, over the passive CPU heatsink and out the back of the case.

Push the E8400 to its limits and the two cores provide solid performance, no doubt aided by the presence of XP Professional. It’s the sort of performance that makes this PC incredibly flexible: not only will it cope admirably with any business application you care to throw at it, but if you need to process the odd promotional video or want to do a bit of heavy duty photo-editing it will breeze through that too.

The only thing off limits is 3D power, with Intel’s integrated X4500 graphics in place. Externally, that austere silver and black plastic fascia is the same as ever, with two front-mounted USB ports sitting below two handy, front-facing audio mini-jacks. Move to the rear and you’ll find another six USB ports, a serial port, a VGA socket and, more notably, DisplayPort makes its debut in HP’s business range, too. Look closer and there’s more evidence of keen and sensible attention to detail. Removing the top cover is as simple as depressing two buttons on each side of the chassis. Peer inside and, although the innards are relatively cramped, HP has made it easy to get at everything.

Fully depress the tab and the catches holding the hard disk safely in place release and allow it to be removed. It’s the kind of neat design that can save IT departments valuable time.

The 2GB of DDR2 memory is comprised of two 800MHz 1GB sticks in dual-channel operation, and two slots are left empty for future upgrades. There are two spare SATA ports, a PCI slot, two PCI Express 16x slots and one single PCI Express 1x slot, too; plenty of room for any kind of necessary expansion, in other words. Elsewhere, there’s little that disappoints. Intel’s vPro technology is present and correct, and a higher level of security is catered for by an embedded TPM 1.2 chip. There’s no accompanying fingerprint reader, but it still adds a welcome layer compared with a standard unencrypted Windows password.

HP rounds off the package with a reassuring three years of next-business-day on-site warranty. So power and practicality go hand in hand with HP Compaq’s latest desktop, but the only stumbling block is its price. If the dc7900’s sheer power just isn’t required, then the more modest capabilities of its AMD-powered stablemate, the dc5850, might be a more economic fit for today’s limited IT budgets. But, if that power appeals, and you desire upgradability and peace of mind all in one sensibly sized package, the dc7900 has plenty to recommend it.
