- I can put together a 486 DX4/133 for about $1000 with monitor.
- $150 Motherboard & IO
- $60 case/ps
- $20 misc cabling
- $20 FD
- $200 1.2G HD
- $120 8M RAM
- $100 64 bit PCI S3 video
- $300 decent monitor
- $045 CDROM
- -----------
- $1015

- Perhaps I've left something out, but that's the basic stuff. A
- systems integrator who can get stuff for cheap could probably do
- something similar for about $300 less. I'll happily sell you the
- above system, FOB Houston, for $1500. :)
