Yeah. One problem I can see -- if this is an MCA machine, you'll have
a devil of a time finding cards for the slots! Not sure if IBM was
still using MCA when they put out the 486's.    Finding ram might be
difficult as well, as it takes some special ram, which will work fine
in other systems, but other, "generic" ram won't work in some IBM
machines. :-/
