Compaq Deskpro EN 6450+

SUMMARY

PRO: Good performance, excellent high-resolution graphics, spacious interior
CON: Expensive; just passable sound

One of the most unusual things about this PIII-450 system is its interior design. Although most computers' expansion boards plug directly into slots on the motherboard, Compaq's attach to a second card that sits on the motherboard at a 90-degree angle. This gives the case a roomier feel. And pack rats will appreciate the expansive 22.7GB hard drive. For performance, the Deskpro tops others in its class. Powered by a Matrox Millennium G200 graphics card, the 19-inch Compaq display delivers sharp, clear text and images, even at the maximum resolution of 1600 by 1200.

Unfortunately, Compaq integrates both the sound card and speakers into the computer, which results in compromised fidelity. Another complaint: the price. At $2882 it's one of the most expensive PIII-450 systems on the market.
