Dennis,
As far as other mailorder shops, try edgemicro.com (they are in springfield but
do not have a shop) and outpost.com. Both have been good for service and speed for
me. As for advice on a win2k box, what do you want it to do? Just an office type
box(word/excel/internet/email) or are you looking to do number crunching? Are you
wainting to play games? Need more details.
