Summary: alternatives to PC Limited AT

I should mention that the Tandy 3000, an 8mhz AT clone, is sold by a number of
non-Radio Shack "official Tandy distributors" at very very aggressive
proces well below the already aggressive Tandy list price.  As an example,
Computers Plus in Littleton MA was quoting a price for the 20mb system in
the area of $2500-2600.  Similarly for Perry Computers in Perry MI.  This
price didn't include a monitor or monitor card, but you should be able to pick
up these on the aftermarket, if the price these stores offer is still too high.

I have a PC/AT myself, but if I was in the market today, I would definitely
consider the Tandy 3000 as a real possibility.  The prices are as favorable
as the PC Limited unit, and, unlike PC Limited, you have a large corporation
standing behind the equipment.  I have purchased other equipment from Computers
Plus with great satisfaction, though I have no direct experience with Perry
Computers.
