I have a Northgate 486 25i.  It is the same Elegance machine as the 386.
Before buying it I did a lot of research.  

The machine got top rating in InfoWorld Nov 27, 1989 pg 90 and Computer-
World Jan 22 1990 pg 59.  I don't know what artical you read in PC mag.,
but it was an Editor's choice in PC Mag. October 31, 1989 pg 97 among
22 machines.  I have found my machine very solid and with good quality
control in the construction.  It is very fast.  It has a Maxtor disk
that is very quiet.  I have found no compatability problems using
MS DOS 4.01.  Tech Support is execellent and available 24 hours seven
days a week with only very short waits on the 800 number.

Well, as you can see, I really like the machine and think that you 
can't go wrong with it.  Also, the chairman of the company hangs out
on the IBMHW forum section 7 of Compuserve.  Any complaint gets
immediate attention from him.  Lots of recommendations of the Northgate
machines on that forum.
