PC World said it was the FASTEST PC they had ever tested.

Incidentally the HDD controller (an IDE) does NOT use one of the VESA
local bus slots, it's built right onto the Motherboard on some other
type of local bus (32 bit).  Also the ad I saw listed the same system
with a 340 Meg HD for $3000 (shipping is $100).
