You can get an Everex 16MHz 386 with 1MB of RAM, a high density
floppy, a power supply, case and 101 key keyboard for around $1800
from most Everex distributors (like SF Micro or Club AT). I'm typing
this in on one and it works pretty well.

This system has a 64KB 0 wait-state cache and no 32 bit slots. It also
only has a socket for a 287, not a 387. It's pretty decently fast,
though. It's not the recently announced system; it's basically the
same design as the Mylex motherboard.
