MicroCenter Systems

I don't know, I have a 433mhz PII that I am getting read to give to the 
kids.  100mhz seems a little slow for desktop work. Running a GUI seems 
to slow things up a bit.

As a DNS/file/printer server it would work great with a little more 
memory!  Leave the 1.2 gb drive in for the swap file and as a place to 
backup important data and add another hard drive for primary and it 
would be a decent server.
