Slot 1 is empty, but the rest of the slots are stocked with a Datalink 2400, TranswarpGS 12.5MHz/32K cache, Sonic Blaster, 2 AE 3.5 drives, PCTransporter with 720/360K drives and a Vulcan Gold 40MB HD. The monitor is a 20" Sony multisync sitting on an AE Conserver. Yeah, it's all AE.

Starting in Slot 1, the machine has an Uthernet, SecondSight, ZipGS 10/64, Soundmeister, SuperDrive controller, CFFA3000 and finally a RAMFast SCSI card with CD-ROM, ~2GB on tap. The monitor is a standard Apple RGB on a Kensington System Saver.

I'd go with System B as it has better "connectivity" with the
Superdrive controller & CFFA3000. I think this would make it a more
useable allround system. Having said that, that 20" monitor with
System A would be nice.  :-)
