Product Description
The ThinkCentre S50 Series desktops feature a tool-free chassis design, which simplifies and enhances usability. Encased in a durable steel chassis, components inside the machine, such as the hard disk and memory, can easily be removed by the customer, making the PC serviceable and upgradeable, helping to limit the downtime and cost associated with on-site support. Cable routing is bundled out of the way for easy access to components and cable ends and user touch points are colored blue to be easily identified by the user. ThinkCentre S50 desktops also feature an innovative "caddy" that surrounds the hard disk drive, locking it into place without the use of tools or screws. Rubber bumpers on the caddy decrease vibration and deliver quieter operation. Other mechanical improvements have been made to the overall design of the ThinkCentre PCs, including improved airflow and reduced noise.The ThinkCentre S50 is a full-feature enterprise PC offering image and platform stability in an extremely small form factor. The ThinkCentre S50 is 62% smaller than a standard desktop. It allows for flexible placement, either horizontally or vertically. The ThinkCentre S50 features allow customization and easy upgrading, which is uncommon for a small form factor PC.
Amazon.com Product Description
Save space on your desktop with the IBM ThinkCentre S50 (8183BSU), built for demanding professional computing tasks. It's a compact desktop PC that takes up 62 percent less space than the traditional IBM desktop chassis. This mid-priced desktop offers a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 processor, super-fast Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, 40 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM, floppy drive, and a lightning fast combo DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive. It also features an internal power supply, two full-size PCI slots, and three bays for expansion.

The Basics

Hard Drive: The ATA-100 (Enhanced IDE) 40 GB (7200 RPM) hard drive is small in comparison with other desktop PCs in this price range, but it's understandable due to its classification as a business professional computer (where much data is shared and stored on networked servers).
Processor: The 2.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor offers the speed you'll need for today's demanding office productivity software and multimedia presentations. It features a 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB), which measures how fast a processor and the main memory communicate, and a 1 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.)
Memory: The 512 MB of installed RAM (333 MHz) will handle the basics, but you'll want to add more to handle any kind of multimedia application and today's processor-intensive business productivity suites. This desktop has a 2 GB maximum RAM capacity.
CD/DVD Drive: This desktop includes a combo DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive, with 48x write/read and 32x rewrite speed for CDs and 16x read speed for DVDs.
Keyboard & Mouse: The ThinkCenter S50 comes with an IBM Preferred Pro full-size keyboard (PS/2) and an IBM USB optical wheel mouse.

Chassis Design
It's encased in a durable black steel chassis that offers maximum flexibility for servicing and upgrading components inside the S50. Toolless-entry design makes upgrades easier and repairs faster with a cover that can be opened without tools, plus toolless slots and internal bays that flip up to allow components to slide out. ThinkCentre S50 desktops also feature an innovative "caddy" that surrounds the hard disk drive, locking it into place without the use of tools or screws. Rubber bumpers on the caddy decrease vibration and deliver quieter operation. Other mechanical improvements have been made to the overall design of the ThinkCentre PCs, including improved airflow and reduced noise.

Screen, Graphics and Sound
The integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2 based graphics will be fine for business productivity software suites, Web browsing, and general purpose computing. It will produce a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and up to 16.7 million colors. It also features integrated SoundMax Cadenza audio and an internal mono speaker.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
This S50 model has a good assortment of expansion capabilities for the office. It features a 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB floppy drive, and has the following external connectivity ports:

8 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 serial port
1 parallel port
1 VGA monitor port
1 headphone jack and 1 microphone jack
1 audio line-in and 1 audio line-out

It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Preloaded System and Software
This desktop comes with the Windows XP Professional operating system (which adds Microsoft's IIS Web server, back-up and recovery utilities, Remote Desktop, and other enhanced business features). It also comes preloaded with Norton Antivirus 2004 (3 months subscription), PC Doctor, IBM RecordNow, and IBM Rescue and Recovery with Rapid Restore.

Dimensions and Weight
This compact desktop measures 12.2 x 14.1 x 3.3 inches (WxDxH) and weighs 17.9 pounds.

What's in the Box
This package contains the ThinkCentre S50 (8183BSU) desktop PC, keyboard, mouse, and power cord.
