Guys you should just build one yourself, It is so simple! You buy the pieces, one at a time, assemble them like a model (cept you use a screwdriver instead of glue) load the operating system and drivers and away you go! I have a niece who is 8 years old and I sucessfully walked her through building her own computer and if this kid can do it you can to!!!!!! And for a hell of a lot less than a name brand!!!!!!!!!

ScottSaraGibbons What are you using the Unix Machines for?
I have an SGI Octane Still tring to find a use for it.

[ssgibby]

R&D mostly.... my career revolves around unix.... what kind of octane R10k or R12k?

[Irisservice]

Here are some specs for the system manger
Mips 10000
225mhz I think its a dual
Irix64 rel.6.4
main mem 128mb
system disk 4.3gb
image disk 9.3gb

This systems was use to run a high end graphics software but it no longer supported so we don't use it. The system has been sitting around until i can find another use for it.

I'm on a two year old 533 Mhz Compaq Presario with 512 MB of RAM. I will NEVER buy a computer again. I really can't play any cool games at a decent frame rate because it has a PCI slot instead of an AGP. They cut corners all over the place with this machine. It just plain sucks, although Windows XP makes me feel better. Instead of buying one I will build my own.. I've had to take this thing apart so many times now that building my own can't be much more difficult. I will give Compaq (HP) this though, their PDA's look really great and can run some pretty intense GPS programs. I have yet to hear of anyone dissappointed with them either.
