This price is comparable to that quoted by a large number of retailers
in the August Computer Shopper.  One place even has a 33-Mhz 386 system
for around the same amount.  

Austin has a good reputation with the magazines, but stories posted to the
net indicate that they are also capable of extremely unsatisfactory service.

In other words, they are probably close to average all around.

I personally have no experience with that company.
