I just had a friend order a set up similar to this (XT clone, 2 floppies,
640K, amber monitor, citizen printer) for about $900. I saw
the ad in PC Mag for CompuAdd's "Career Starter Kit".  For a 4.77/8 MHZ
XT with printer it seems like a good deal.  I can't vouch for their
machine quality/performance, but I can for their prices on supplies
and their 2400baud modem.
