Guide Review - Microtel SYSMAR402 and SYSMAR715 Computers
Microtel's SYSMAR402 and SYSMAR715 systems lack the computing power of many PCs priced just a bit higher than them, but they are a decent choice for those looking for a PC on a low budget and they are not tied to using Microsoft applications already. They also make good systems for those interested in learning more about the LINUX operating system.
