MidWest Micro Office Pro 400

SUMMARY

PRO: Bargain-basement price, good performance
CON: 15-inch monitor, difficult-to-open case

Aimed at the small-business crowd, the Office Pro 400 sells for $1189--about $200 below average for a PII-400 PC--and delivers a good score of 199 on our PC WorldBench tests.

The system might have ranked higher on our chart, if not for a few drawbacks such as the 15-inch monitor that looked fuzzy in multiple resolutions during our tests. Plus, it took some work to remove and reattach the "tool-less" case cover.

The Office Pro 400 comes with a 10GB hard drive that will suffice for most business users, and tiny but powerful Altec Lansing ACS44 speakers. The PC's generic manual contains a good glossary of technical terms but few specifics about the individual system. MidWest Micro covers the CPU and main memory for five years, and the remaining parts for three years. The vendor offers toll-free 24-hour tech support for the life of the system.
