I will be purchasing a 386 machine, and I would be glad if any of the current users of inexpensive machines could e-mail me their experiences regarding the construction, reliability of various brands. For example, ZEOS sells them pretty cheap, but I have heard many cases where their power supply has blown out within two months. Micro Express chassis is said to be "fragile". Is it worth it getting it cheap or should one invest in more established brand names ? Thanks in advance for any replies. I will summarize to the net, if there is any interest. ======== Avinash Chopde (with standard disclaimer) abc@unhcs.unh.edu, abc@unh.unh.edu {.....}!uunet!unh!abc
