Legacy-free proved the theme for the $1299 Acer Veriton 5100 (with four USB ports) and the $1749 ABS Conquest 2000(with three FireWire ports). Each offers some nice extras: The Acer includes chassis-intrusion detection, and the ABS has a dual-head graphics board, but slow performance on PC WorldBench 2000 tests kept these models off the chart.
Powered by a PIII-733, the $1899 Sys Tech Performance 733 earned a 169 on our PC WorldBench 2000 tests, while the $1799 NuTrend Athlon Ultra 2 scored 151. However, the high sticker prices kept both systems out of the Top 10 this month.
