I am about to purchase a 286 or 386 clone and have noticed what appear 
to be reasonable deals. In particular, the following offers are of
interest. Does anyone in netland have any experience with or comments 
about them:

	1. Zeos International: St. Paul, Minn.
		12MHz AT ~$1299 (512kB RAM, 32MB HD, mono monitor)

	2. Clone Computers: Dallas, TX
		10MHz AT ~$1599 (1MB RAM, 40MB HD, mono monitor)

	3. Fivestar Computers: Dallas (?), TX
		10MHz AT ~$1795 (640kB RAM, 20MB HD, mono monitor)

	4. Micro Smart: Ashland, MA
		10MHz AT ~$1499 (512kB RAM, 40MB HD, mono monitor)

Although I have only indicated AT machines, I am also open to comments
on 386 machines although money is a consideration. I would even consider
assembling a unit myself, if reliable motherboards etc. are available.

Thanks in advance,
