Ok, second effort.  Don't you just love 'rn'...
I have a Northgate 386-20mhz pipeline page mode machine (AMI bios) and
it has run every commercial program and every PD program I have tried.
I have to say their tech support is great!  I bought a tape drive and
they talked me through the installation even though they didn't make
any money on it (their peripheral prices after the sale are high...).
My machine is a full size case - I wonder about the heat dissapation 
capability of any small case, although I'm sure Northgate's are as
good as the rest.  With less volume of air inside where will the heat
go?  If they've got a BIG fan I guess the air could circulate well enough,
but  I suggest you get a full size system, not a miniature one.
