If you friends are techies - they can buy the systems in pieces and
put everything together into a system they design from the bottom
up.  I am using an AMI 25 mhz '386 motherboard with 72 DRAM sockets
for either 256K or 1MEG chips of 80s chips so I can have 1, 2, 4 or
8 megs on the motherboard.  This board runs dandy with SCO Xenix,
ISC Unix and QNX.  The Bios is AMI and there is no caching.  The board
is going for around $750 in PC Week.
