Well, I'm about to find out. HD Computers sells the above 
with the exception of 1 MByte, 120MByte Seagate (Conner
at no extra charge) and one floppy drive at $1795. After
adding three Meg and a floppy drive, the tower configuration
should come to $2020-2030. They have a 30 day money back 
guarantee, and 7 days a week toll free telephone support,
so it sounds pretty good. But as I said, I'll find out.

By the way, the 40 MHz version is $200 more. WOuld it be 
worth it?

(Has anyone else bought from these people?)

Also does anyone know anything about Quadram's SVGA card,
or Data Expert motherboards?
