WHAT'S HOT: The 800K7-650 claims the prize as least expensive system on the power chart. Inside the case, neatly bundled wires allow easy access to all components. You get ample expansion room, with four open slots (three PCI and one ISA) and three open drive bays (one of the occupied bays holds a Zip 100 drive).
WHAT'S NOT: The 19-inch DecaView G400 monitor produces fuzzy text and dull colors at all resolutions, though it's fine for standard business use.
WHAT ELSE: The one-piece cover opens without tools, but you must remove the whole thing to get inside. Aiwa's TS-CD40 speakers deliver adequate sound, and video playback on the 6X DVD-ROM drive is smooth, even with other applications open. Polywell bundles Lotus SmartSuite 97 business software with the system--not the most popular office suite, but perfectly adequate for most business applications.
BEST USE: With moderate bang for modest bucks, the Poly 800K7-650 should handle most any task a small business can throw at it.
