Optiplex GX620 tower
Case: Does the 3100 case have that plastic flap near the bottom front with the two USB ports and headphone jack? If so, I despise that case. To use headphones, the last...
Of course I feel better! Except for the $10 CD that I could have gotten for free :) I'm not disappointed by the system performance (did I say...
darkrats,
The PS-2 connectors are indeed an option. I recently purchased a GX620 for home use and selected this option. The connectors (PS-2 keyboard, PS-2 mouse and serial port) are on a PCI card installed in the bottom slot. Turns out I have not used them - I have been using the USB keyboard and USB mouse that came with the system.
I pretty much maxed the machine - 3.0GHz dual core P4 2GB memory 10kRPM 80GB WD SATA boot disk (I found this drive to be incredibly noisy - it "clunks" to the point of distraction. I purchased a 7200RPM Hitachi SATA disk to replace it and am much happier with it.) 7200RPM 250GB WD SATA-II disk DVD-ROM & DVD-RW Floppy disk drive (I just can't let go of the past :)) 128MB Radeon X600SE video card (DVI-S-Video connectors with a DVI-VGA adaptor plug) 56K modem PS-2 connectors Win XP Pro SP2 with media (and you are NOT forced to take a pile of software you will never use) Drivers CD Reference manual
I am very happy with the GX620 (with the exception of the noisy WD 10K disk) and it is very fast. I replaced a 1GHz P3 with the GX620 and the difference in performance is amazing. I love the tooless chasis. The interior is neatly done and roomy.
