Dear People, I got the following quote for a computer (now quite old). I am thinking of going with this, with the modification that I'll be using the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer instead of the Logitech.
The price is probably quite a bit more than I would pay if I was to build it myself but these people are going to do a Debian installation, do some stress-testing, and make sure everything works properly before sending it to me. At least, that is the idea. This is worth quite a lot to me, since it would be a nightmare to purchase expensive equipment and then not be able to use it under my preferred platform. I just wondered if anyone had thoughts/comments about the hardware configuation. I was just told that the Realtek ethernet card was a piece of junk and that I should use something else instead, so I was thinking of the 3com (10/100) PCI. Comments? Thanks in advance for your feedback/input. Sincerely, Faheem Mitha. ****************************************************************************************** Los Alamos Computers 2310-C 39th St, Los Alamos NM 87544-1742 [p] 505-661-1511 [e] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [W] www.laclinux.com date: 22 Jan 2002 order: 002880 LAC Custom System --------------------------------------------------------------- | part no | descrip |quant| --------------------------------------------------------------- | MBABKG7 | Abit KG7 | 1 | | CPUAMDXP15 | AMD XP 1500+ (1.33 GHz) | 1 | | FANAMD | AMD fan | 1 | | MEM512P21 | 512M PC2100 DDR | 2 | | VCMXG4532DAD | Matrox G450 32M DDR AGP dual head | 1 | | HDSIBM18G10K | 18G IBM 10k rpm U160 SCSI | 2 | | SCAD29160 | Adaptec 29160 U160 SCSI card | 1 | | CDPLW2410 | Plextor 24x10x40 IDE CDRW | 1 | | FD144 | 1.44M 3.5 inch floppy | 1 | | NCRT100P | Realtek 10/100 PCI NIC | 1 | | MDUSR56FE | USR 56K V.92 ext fax modem | 1 | | SCTBSC | Turtle Beach Santa Cruz | 1 | | SPALACS452 | Altec Lansing ACS45.2 3pc speakers | 1 | | KB104P | 104 key PS/2 US keyboard | 1 | | MOL3WCO | Logitech cordless opt wheel mouse | 1 | | CSANSX840 | Antec SX840 400W 8 bay | 1 | | FANCS | case fan | 1 | | OSDEB22 | Debian 2.2 install + config | 1 | | | | | | LEAD | Ships in 8-10 business days | | | FREIGHT | UPS Ground | | --------------------------------------------------------------- price: 2456.00 tax (0.0000%): 0.00 freight: 40.55 TOTAL: $2496.55 o This quote is valid for one week after the date given above.
