I need some help on purchasing a 386 machine.  Does anyone have any ideas
for a good system with the following specs?

 
	- 2-4 megs memory, expandable on board
	 - 25 Mhz or 33 Mhz, with 32k cache
	 - somewhere around a 152M, 17ms ESDI HD
	 - 360k & 1.44Mb floppy drives
	 - 60Mb tape backup
	 - 80387 coprocessor
	 - paper white monitor/vga adapter
	 - mouse

 I have seen an AST 386/33 Model 5, w/2Mb memory and a 110 Mb hard drive,
 for $6,000.   (Tape drive, coprocessor, and monitor extra, about $1,000)

 Any good?

 -Vince
