TigerDirect, a large catalog vendor of computer software and hardware, offers bare-bones PC systems as well as standard configurations. The included Intel LANDesk Client Manager 3.1 could not monitor fan operation or voltage levels, but the unit supports Remote Wake-up. Though the case is not tool-free, there is room for expansion and no components are blocked. One PCI slot has an extension for an Adaptec RAIDport card, used to enhance performance with redundant hard disks. Toll-free technical support is available from 8 to midnight Eastern time 7 days.
Performance is adequate, but management features are fairly basic.
