Okay, it's time to squeeze a personal 386 machine into the budget, so I
need some opinions from the rest of the world.  We run mostly Compaq
hardware here at this office, and while the machines have been fairly
reliable, the pricing is way too nasty to contemplate.  So I need to
find a machine, probably from one of the mailorder houses, that [a] has
a decent reputation in terms of hardware reliability, and [b] can
handle ISC UNIX.

Opinions, please?

My biggest concern is, of course, overall price.  My second concern is
behavior with ISC, especially in terms of disk drives, monitor, or other
BIOS oriented matters.

Email please, so we don't waste bandwidth on an opinion war.  I'll
summarize after the results, suggestions, flames, and whatever roll in.

Thanks!
