- Clever Fox OTI-486 model Clever-66, Clever Fox Enterprises
-
- Like the Hungry Lion, the Clever Fox nearly makes the top
- five for overall value, missing it by only a narrow margin.
- It does several things especially well. First, it's fast.
- This system was just 15 percent slower than the overall
- speed champ from Big Elephant. It performed especially well
- on the Windows tests, in which it was just 5 percent behind
- the leader.
-
- Second, this tower system stands out by giving you tons of
- room both now and in the future. It comes with a brawny 321
- MB Maxtor hard drive. The drive pulls out with the turn of
- a key; it's a snap for a network administrator to swap out
- defective drives or secure drives overnight in a save place.
- You also get a whopping nine drive bays, seven 8/16-bit
- slots, and one free 8-bit slot.
-
- Third, Clever fox backs the system with good customer
- service. The tech support staff answered our question
- perfectly and manages a fast three-day turnaround on factory
- repairs. The only flaw is a $99 charge for a year of
- on-site service.
-
- The Clever Fox's $2995 price is right in the middle of the
- spread. For the money, you also get a nice 15 inch CTX
- monitor harnessed to a Diamond Stealth VRAM graphics
- controller. All in all, if you want a fast tower system
- with plenty of room to expand, the Clever Fox is, if not a
- Best Buy, well worth considering.
