Dell`s giving an instant <strike>$150</strike> <font color="#CE0E0E"><b>$175</b></font>
discount now, along with a $100 rebate, plus free shipping on this computer. The
PowerEdge 400SC is an Intel i875P chipset based server with an 8x AGP slot,
which means you can pretty easily turn it into a gaming, multimedia, or graphics
workstation. Leon and I both own one of these and we love it. It is compatible
with 533Mhz and 800Mhz processors (hyperthreaded too), there`s built in 2
channel S-ATA, there are 6 USB 2.0 ports, there`s built in 10/100/1000 ethernet,
4 PCI slots (with both 5.0v and 3.3v universal support), ADI 198x audio, and
loads of other features. The AGP and audio are not "officially" supported by
Dell, but they work. Mine is incredibly stable and fast. Here`s what you do:</p>

We`re both using them with AGP cards. Leon has an ATI Radeon 9800 128MB AGP 8x
card in his. I have an older ATI Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB 8x AGP card with a
Zalman heatsink in mine. Anyhow, for now, here`s a picture of mine, so you can
see that yes, it does have a working AGP slot. :) <b>
