Xi Computer 400A MTower
Xi Computer 400A MTower
WHAT'S HOT: With a PC WorldBench 98 score of 199, this Celeron-400 machine ranks as the fastest computer we've tested with that processor. The MTower comes well configured, with high-end components like a 14GB hard disk, a 6X DVD-ROM drive, and a bright 17-inch monitor that displays crisp and vivid images. The Altec Lansing ACS45 speakers and subwoofer deliver full-bodied sound with real punch. The Keytronic keyboard feels comfortable to use and is quiet. Added into the mix is Microsoft Office 97 Small Business Edition--a boon at this great sticker price.
WHAT'S NOT: This tallish midsize tower looks like any other beige computer except for its sliding plastic cover, which ostensibly protects the floppy, DVD-ROM, and expansion drives from dust. Unfortunately, this innovation proved to be more nuisance than nicety: Ours was difficult to open when we needed to access drives; and because the cover does not lock, leaving it ajar proved more convenient than closing it.
WHAT ELSE: We had to undo a couple of screws to loosen the case's side panels, but then the panels slid off easily to reveal a clean, tidy interior with readily accessible slots and bays.
BEST USE: Small-office denizens with a penchant for speed will like this system's power-to-price ratio.
