I put off building my own until 386SX16 came out, Trident SVGA cards were down to $195, and 14" NEC multiscan CRTs were down to $400. The SX I sold after only a few weeks to upgrade to 386DX25 with 4MB RAM costing almost $200 and 80MB SCSI HD. I made that last past the 486DX run and next upgraded to an FDIV-free .6um 75MHz Pentium with 16MB of SIMM RAM to use with OS/2 and 100MB HD with 3 partitions to multiboot with DOS 6.22. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
