The internal components can be easily reached, with the power being out of the way at the top of the case, leaving clear access to the motherboard with its socket 370 processor, three memory banks and two spare PCI slots. One of the major features of this PC is the graphics system. Normally, such a monitor would outclass the integrated Intel graphics of the 810E chipset, but the motherboard comes with its own Asus graphics driver to deliver faster performance and higher refresh rates than Intel's own. Refresh rates of up to 100Hz at 1024x768 are possible, and the Asus driver enables it to rival the performance of many mid-range graphics adapters. No speakers were provided.
Documentation involves a patchy array of component manuals.
