I have had one for a month. I got the customized one with:
- AMD XP 2600
- 60 Gb HD
- 15" SXGA+
- CDRW/DVD drive
- 1Gb memory (bought this at OM for a lot less than HP)

I love it. It is really fast. My coworker bought the same model and set it up with Red Hat. The HD is a 4200 RPM model, but seems fast enough.

The Compaq Presario 2100 series for the most part uses IBM 4200rpm 2.5" HDDs w/ 2mb of Cache and up to 80gb in size as options, the default config is an IBM 80GN 40GB 4200rpm drive w/ 2mb of cache. Hope this helps...
