| 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... |
| | |
| Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra 32MB TV-Out Retail Box | [$211] |
| Awesome performance at a great price. This or Diamond? Personal preference. |
| | |
| Nokia 21" 445Xi Plus .21dp/1600x1200@88Hz | [$932] |
| Our pick for the best value in standard CRT 21in monitors. Excellent price and quality. Check out the Princeton EO2010 with slightly better resolution and refresh rate. |
| | |
| 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 & Windows NT 4.0 Dual Boot | [$236] |
| Perfect if you want both stability/security and all the multimedia features for games, etc. |
