Here''s proof that you cant go wrong when you build it yourself:
P3 600
Soyo mobo, bios overclockable (i dont like to push it though)
20G hd
128mb ram
LS-120 superdisk
100Mb Zip
32x read/ 8x write cd-rw
19" philips monitor
creative sb live
32mb ati rage fury
altec lansing 5 speaker surround, 70 watts
ms natural kb pro
ms intellimouse /w intellieye
win 98 & BeOS
i thought it would be a nice little dev sys except for one little thing... anytime i right-click in vc++, theres an 80% chance that the entire computer will freeze. turns development into its own little adventure everyday... heh.
but its only in vc++, everything else works perfectly, guess you cant win them all.
