I priced CompuAdd's system, and they are something like $700 more. I wonder if my woes are generally attributable to buying mail order or whether I might have been better off getting a more expensive system, like CompuAdd's. /* End of text from uxa.cso.uiuc.edu:comp.sys.ibm.pc */ We have about half a dozen CompuAdd systems here (more if you include those purchased by our employees for their personal use) and the only real problem was a VGA monitor which had some picture distortion until it warmed up. That was replaced via Federal Express in 2 days with no hassles. In addition, CompuAdd is now giving away free on-site service contracts with their high-end machines (286/20 through 386/25). I have no connections with CompuAdd other than those of a satisfied customer (with a 386/20).
