Has anyone tried the new hp/compaq zt3000. It is listed on HP Shopping's website but hardly, if any, internet reviews are available on this product. I guess it just came out because the feature set it has is terrific and I would have bet that a Cnet would have reviewed it by now.

Hello all... I have a number of Compaq Deskpro 686P2, 686P3 and Evo D500, 510 series (686O2) systems. All of these seem to be pretty closely related, and all of them have a setting in the BIOS known as the "UUID". This setting is disabled by default, and Compaq's in-setup help isn't very helpful,...
