Does Precision 490 have integrated sound card and network controller?

Hi all,

I'm going to purchase a Precision 490. Can anyone tell me
whether this model has integrated sound card and network
controller?

I read the broucher, the spec shows that there are sound
card and NIC integrated. But when I was trying to customize
the machine, there's no information showing that these
two parted are integrated on the motherboard. Then I checked
the spec of Intel 5000X chipset, which is used in 490. It
shows that the audio and NIC are not integrated in the
chipset.

The sound card and NIC options for 490 are really expensive
($99/$120 for sound cards and $49 for NIC), and since this
is a university purchase, it will be troublesome if I have
to order addtional parts after purchasing the machine.

Thanks in advance.
