>> My system need to be at least PII-300 with Asus P2B motherboard and 128 MB PC 100 SDRAM, Quantum .... 8.3 Gbyte ultra SCSI drive with Diamond Fireport. or other hard drive, Matrox Productive (8 MB AGP) and 8 MB PCI for other monitor. Also I need 2 high quality 17" monitors max. res 1600x1200<< You probably will not find this at Gateway, Micron or DELL. They offer custom systems with a narrow range of options. DELL has multimonitor systems but they use the Appian dual monitor card. You will pay a lot at DELL for such a system. You might want to try KC Computers. 192.41.20.224 . He has a good reputation with many of his customers. I have no personal experience. Email is his preferred method of communication. If you need a lot of phone support KC Computers is probably not for you. He will build just about anything. He has a long list of available components but will acquire and assemble just about anything you want. Email a proposed system and he will give you a quote. He has the prices on his site also. 1600 X 1200 is a bit high for 17 in monitors. I doubt you will use anything higher than 1024 X 768 on a 17 in monitor. Why do you want a SCSI harddrive? The performance of IDE harddrives is on a par with SCSI. SCSI is a good option if you need a lot of devices such as more than two harddrives, CDR's, scanners, ZIP etc. IBM and Maxtor make good IDE drives. IBM has built a reputation overtime for quality harddrives. Maxtor has the best bang for the buck now and I have not heard any negative comments. July 26 is the next Intel CPU price adjustment.
