Okay, let me put in my two cents worth. I work at a computer store. Therefor, I know the prices. I'll do my best to list off some of the things that you'd need in a PC to do what the Falcon comes standard with.
Falcon PC Price
^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^
68030 80386dx $240 (+100 for case)
2mb RAM 4mb RAM (minimum) $160
MultiTOS OS/2 2.0/Windows NT $120+ (and a wait on windows)
TOS Roms Boot from HD/Floppy We'll get to that later
16-bit color Windows accelerator $170+
w/ 640x480x32k
Graphics Blitter "" ""
1.44mb FDD 1.44mb FDD $60
16-bit stereo 16-bit stereo card $230
8voice playback Not available. Probably VESA.
SCSI II connector SCSI II board $100 or on sound board
MIDI ports MIDI extender $75+
LAN port Ethernet Board $80+
Internal IDE IDE board $35 (w serial, parallel, game)
Hard disks and monitors I won't go into, because they can use the same ones.
They both need monitors ($250-$300), but the PC requires an HD, at least 85mb
more if you're not a fool. That adds at least $280.
