NEC PowerMate ES
NEC PowerMate ES
WHAT'S HOT: Atop the well-designed midsize tower, a silver strip holds buttons for sleep and volume control, as well as a headphone jack and a USB port. The interior has three open drive bays and four free PCI slots (plus one ISA), but expansion cards must be installed upside down. Documentation includes a quick-setup guide, and a thick manual with many helpful pictures and ample troubleshooting information.
WHAT'S NOT: A flimsy expansion bay cover awkwardly blocks all four bays. After opening the system, you have to shove the bundled cables to replace the tower's side panel. The NEC's score of 125 on our PC WorldBench 2000 tests is a bit low for Pentium III-600 machines.
WHAT ELSE: Colors appeared washed out on the 17-inch NCM 1720 monitor, but text stayed sharp up to the maximum resolution of 1280 by 1024. The system contains a built-in network interface, a case lock, and chassis intrusion detection.
BEST USE: This NEC might appeal to corporate users who want to keep an eye on their company assets.
