Look at the MG-1 by Whitechapel Computer Works.  This 32016 based system
comes with mouse, 5 1/4" hard disk, 1024*800 bw bit-map display and 4.2BSD
(soon now; they're currently using 4.1) for around 5000 pounds sterling.  Given
the current state of the dollar vs the pound thats about $5500.

Actually Whitechapel have just started their marketing efforts in the US
and they tell me the minimum configuration will cost $7500.

This looks like a very nice system.  It has a separate processor to handle
the mouse and keyboard and to track the cursor.  The cursor image is
produced by the hardware and is mixed into the final video signal so
it always keeps up with the user and doesn't require complex locking
schemes to avoid leaving dirty trails on the screen.
