How does this system look to you? ANybody have this setup dually?

Well, I do have a dual system, but not the computer you linked to. That would make an awesome server. Slap in a cheap P3 and you're all set. You could even put in a 2x AGP card and play some UT on it. For $195, that's a nice deal.
 
i have several of these here..

you can put up to 4 scsi drives mounted side ways, 2 more 5.25 as piced.

has agp port- i have radeon 7000 ve on my
this will take an adaptec raid controller, it doesn't have ISA i think.. i can take pics

its not bad, I play cs on it.. certain revision of the mobo takes up to a 1ghz p3 processor at 100 fsb.
takes 256 ecc ram x 4 for 1 gb total. It will take 512 mb if it's registered memory - more money.


No overclocking features.
 
Seems like a decent bargain, although it is a system geared heavily towards a server application. If you want a server for your LAN/Website/domain, this would probably be a good choice if you don't mind the sluggish performance. For your average user, you could build a faster rig for under $200 easily.

If cost is all you are after for your sis/bro-in-law, you could look at getting a VIA board (integrated proc, video, lan, etc.). Those boards run $100-$150 depending on speed, and all you have to buy is some cheap PC133 RAM (crazy cheap right now) and a case/HDD/FDD/CD. These boards take almost no power, so you could get a bargain-basement case with a crappy power supply and it would be no problem. Total cost for that a VIA based system running @ 1GHz would be around $200-$250, depending on spare parts you have laying around, etc.

I would take a newly-built system over a refurb any day (even if it is Grade "A")... thats just my 2¢.

Thanks for the info guys.... It'd be great to see your setup forcesho!

I have some questions about the memory tho...
Does it require ECC ram? Will it perform with non-ecc ram? just because of the price difference. I'm sorry if this is a noob question.

Thanks for the info!
 
Just got mine in.... Suprisingly clean... I'm installing WinXP first only because that's what i'm most comfortable using. I want to check the system out and then maybe use it as a server... If anybody wants pics I've got 'em...
