| ASUS P2B-DS Pentium II/III Dual CPU & U2W-SCSI | [$484] |
| ASUS motherboards are standard in all our high-end systems. This Dual CPU capable board has the equivalent of the Adaptec 2940U2W SCSI controller built-in, and is perfect for Pentium-III servers and high-end workstations. |
| | |
| Dual Intel Pentium III 450MHz, 100MHz/512K@225MHz | [$497] |
| A good solution for an NT-based workstation or server. Best value. |
| | |
| 512MB PC100 SDRAM, 2pcs 32x64 | [$624] |
| Single-piece 256MB DIMMs. Only if you think you need to eventually expand to 1024MB. |
| | |
| ON-BOARD Adaptec 7890&3860 U2W-SCSI (eq. 2940U2W) | [$0] |
| |
| | |
| IBM 9.1GB 18ES 7200rpm/7.0ms/2MB U2W-SCSI | [$292] |
| Consider the 18LZX if the budget is not too tight. However, this new 18ES model is also very fast, and compares favorably against the high-end IDE drives. Good price makes us once again recommend low-end SCSI over high-end IDE. |
| | REMOVABLE DRIVE MOUNTING #1 |
| |
| Kingston DE100i-SWU U2W-SCSI Frame & Carrier | [$216] |
| Expensive, but with a brand name like Kingston you are not only ensured the best quality, but also guaranteed future support. |

| | REMOVABLE DRIVE MOUNTING #2 |
| |
| Kingston DE100i-SWU U2W-SCSI Frame & Carrier | [$216] |
| Expensive, but with a brand name like Kingston you are not only ensured the best quality, but also guaranteed future support. |
| | |
| Teac 1.44MB | [$19] |
| The market leader in floppy drives. Extreme reliability. We do not recommend the LS-120 drives at this point. A regular floppy and a ZIP drive is a better combination. |
| | |
| OnStream 50GB SCSI Tape Backup | [$684] |
| Lots of backup for the money, plus great software and excellent performance. |
| | |
| Castlewood ORB 2.2GB IDE w/Cart. | [$205] |
| New drive, and hence, small installed base, but incredible price for a 2.2GB removable solution. Very fast MR-head hard disk technology. This or ZIP? Probably both... |
| | |
| STB/3DFx Voodoo3 3500/183MHz 16MB w/Video-Capture/FM&TV-Tuner Retail | [$249] |
| Awesome features combined with excellent performance. The only thing we don't like is the 16-bit rendering, but of course, that is one of the reason the frame rate is so great. Overall: highly recommended. |
| | |
| Princeton 19" AGX900 .25dp/1600x1200@76Hz, Trinitron | [$542] |
| Our choice for the best value in 19in monitors. Made in Finland by Nokia (same as 446XT). Bright and sharp even at the highest resolutions, and very reliable. Also check out the Mitsubishi 900U PerfectFlat Trinitron. |
| | |
| USRobotics 1749 Voice 56K/V.90 ISA | [$73] |
| In pretty much every respect the equivalent of the more expensive 5685 model. The 1749 is not originally a 56K/V.90 modem (it is upgraded). |
| | |
| 3COM 3C905 10/100B-T PCI | [$53] |
| 3COM offers the ultimate in compatibility and reliability. The Netgear products are excellent as well, and will save you some money - should be considered unless the rest of the network is 3COM. |
| | |
| Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live! RETAIL BOX | [$190] |
| SoundForge, Cakewalk Express Gold and Mixman Studio as well as Digital I/O, combined with Environmental Audio Extensions (EAX) makes this package a must-have for entry level recording. Excellent for gaming too. |
| | |
| Toshiba 5X/32X SCSI DVD-ROM | [$146] |
| The only SCSI DVD-ROM we carry - and excellent drive - 3rd generation DVD combined with 32X CD-ROM. DVD is finally beginning to make sense, with more reference titles and games available. Combine it with the ATI RAGE FURY video card. |
| | |
| Teac 8x24 CDR SCSI w/4MB & Software | [$348] |
| Great quality, price and performance. 4MB Buffer. Adaptec Easy-CD Creator included. |
| | |
| Creative/Cambridge SOUNDWORKS w/sub | [$135] |
| Excellent sound reproduction. Your best buy for a combination of Gaming and music playback. If gaming is more important, get the Altec ACS48. |
| | |
| Logitech TrackMan/FX | [$75] |
| Very innovative design where you can control the ball with more than one finger for maximum precision. 3-button and scroll-wheel features. May take some time to get used to. |
| | |
| Logitech WingMan Force | [$114] |
| A good joystick for all the new games - also check out the features of the Microsoft SideWinder Force. |
| | |
| Supermicro SC750-A Full Tower Case w/300W | [$163] |
| One of two standard cases we carry that supports XEON motherboards. Excellent cooling (many fans) and plenty of room for drives. Check out the Suncheer case as well - nicer looking and excellent cooling, but smaller size and higher price. |
| | |
| APC BACK-UPS PRO 500 | [$224] |
| Provides Voltage correction and surge protection. Battery power is good for a high-end workstation with 21in monitor. If you need longer runtimes (i.e. for a server), check out the 1000 and 1400VA models. |
| | |
| Microsoft Windows 98 & NT 4.0 & RedHat Linux 6.0 Multi Boot | [$350] |
| Windows 98 for gaming and other multimedia, Windows NT and Linux for development, with Linux server features as an extra bonus. |
