:. Installation .:

Setup is just like it is with any other PC system. Just about everything is color coded in the back of the case making things really easy. Because Starfish has already set everything up for you so no need to install Windows or do any other extra chores, all you have to do is plug everything in and turn it on and you’re ready to go and do some gaming or surf the net.

:. Performance .:

We compare this system to an Athlon XP setup in Quake 3 Arena, Mad Onion’s 3D Mark 2001 SE, and PC Mark 2002. The test system is as follows.

://SS 2000 : 11954 AMD system : 10916

The SS 2000 wins easily here beating the test system by over 1000 points.

://SS 2000: 6275 AMD system: 5217

://SS 2000: 6058 AMD System: 3359

The SS 2000’s Pentium 4 and 845G chipset demolish the test system here.

://SS 2000: 291.9 AMD system: 247.4

Again we see the SS 2000 laying waste to the test system.

The Starfish Technologies SS 2000 is powerful enough to handle anything thrown at it and then some. It is truly one of the fastest system that I have seen in a long time, basically throwing around the test system like it was nothing. This is one system that has the power to last a very long time.

:. Pros and Cons .:

:. Pros .:

• Beautiful case
• Great accessories
• Performance is top notch
• Put together great

:. Cons .:

• Pricey (But look at the Hardware you get)
• 3 PCI Slots
• No Floppy

:. Conclusion .:

Overall the SS 2000 is a great buy, offering great performance for today and tomorrow. Although a bit pricey at $3069 it is well worth it for those looking to get a truly unique system. Not only does it have top quality hardware but its put together great and also I would recommend this to any LAN player out there because not only is the case nice and small but also the LCD is thin and is also light compared to a CRT, and you know you won't have any problems with FPS because only the best is in this computer.

I have also been noticed that for the summer Starfish Technologies is running a 5% discount promotion on any system they offer, bringing the price of this system down to $2915.55. Starfish Technologies offers free ground shipping across the US. Approximate shipping times on systems is 14 days. In closing, this system is top notch in all aspects and I would also like to thank the Starfish Technologies staff for sending us this SS2000 computer and for all there support.
