Another company that I fully support is American Power Conversion (APC). I personally own one of their Back-UPS 280's, and a NET 7-T surge protector. Both of these items are excellent products and perform their intended task without fail or problem.
The case was purchased from Jinco. This case is excellent for someone like me who switches out hardware often and likes to have many fans and many hard drive bays. Mine is the largest one on the left:
This machine is where I learned Linux installation and upkeep. It is less of a sponge for money, mostly receiving nothing but old hardware from my main machine. It is a Pentium 233MMX running on an ABIT SM5A motherboard with 64 megs of RAM and 6500 MB of IDE drive space. It had over 100 days of uptime last year and is extremely stable. It mostly provides a test bed for my various programming experiments and is useful for my UNIX administration job. The old minitower case finally died (the power supply fan gave out) so I bought a new case from Jinco.
I'll just list the other computer stuffs I have, if any interest you, cool!
