Hi,
I've just ordered a 21164 533MHz machine with LX motherboard from
transtec computers in the U.K. - they gave me a quote of #1894 + tax for
a machine with 4GB SCSI disc, 64MB of RAM. (They aren't as flexible as
they could be - they wouldn't sell with EIDE instead of SCSI). Thats
just over #100 more than I got quoted for a 21164PC system from
Microways UK distributor!

Anyway - its due to turn up next week?

What should I expect?
What software should I get/download/etc?
Any other advice?

Full spec:
21164 533MHz on 164LXboard (2MB cache)
64MByte SDRAM
Adaptec AHA2940AU SCSI adapter
4.1GB ST15150N disc (I opted for this cheaper, slower disc)
Logitec 3 button Mouse
Matrox Millenium 2 - 4MB
Cheap NE2K PCI ether card
keyboard, mini tower

(I'm going to buy an EIDE CDROM locally this weekend because its
cheaper).

Dave
