I believe that the Dock II would be good if you want to add in another video card or input device. I don't
have it (unfortunantly), but I think this description is correct: weighs approx. 30-40lbs (?), SCSI-II built in, 1
3.5"/1 5.25" drive bays, space for 755-type HD, either 2 or 3 16 bit ISA slots, power supply, LCD status panel,
disk drive, key lock, kensington lock hole, all the usual ports, etc. I can't remember which one it is, but I think
it's the Selectadock 1 or 2 that has PCI.
