This is a new replacement for the SC400
Customize SC420 on the left
This setup has great potential as a 2nd comp/upgrade/small server
Plus No rebates to deal with
By the time you add up individual parts to build your own box
Case/ PS
P4 2.8GHZ & MB
256 MB DDR2
Upgrade to 80GB SATA HD ($10) or 160GB SATA ($60)
KB & Mouse
Throw in a PCI Vid (It comes with built in vid) & Sound Card
And you've got a pretty decent system for the price
Yup- they phased out the 400Sc - but $279 was after rebate if I recall correctly
Not only did it have AGP, but more SATA & USB as well
Had friends that were able to get Dell to buy back the HArd Drive & Ram - so they got it down to less
I've actually passed on both systems due to the fact that the $300 purchase will force me to prematurely retire my current 2.4Ghz system as a "back up", and I'll end up buying new HD, More Memory etc and spending more money
Mike, I am considering this server. Do you think I can use this as a desktop? The site says no, since you have one, can you tell me if it comes with usb, video card ...etc? I also have windows 2000 server, can I buy this and make it work as my desktop instead of a server?

Hi Ben. I dunno why they say it can't be a desktop. It doesn't have an AGP slot, so I just bought a decent PCI video card to put in there. It does have USB.

Yes, it has a parallel port. I'm running Fedora Core 3. I was dual booting with Windows XP and Fedora, but then decided that was a waste since I have a dedicated XP machine for games and stuff.
I just picked up this deal. Grillmasterp, the link above was excellent and eased my mind, now I just need to pick up a cheapo monitor.
