Um, NO! Compaq's are horrible! Ask me -- I have to install network support on them, or rather, try and fail 50% of the time. Build them a custom box or buy them a Dell. I can't seriously recommend ANYONE look at Compaq hardware. It's too flaky. Same goes for Packard Bell and most name-brand machines. > Drawbacks: The SCO people does not talk to me any more.
