I am interested in getting a 386 pc of some kind.  I am more interested
in a good price then in tremendous speed.  To me a 386 SX is almost as
good as a DX.

I also want a good hard-drive (at least 40 meg) and some kind of monitor
and adaptor (mono is good enough for me, I've got a mac for graphics
work).

I want something that can run Windows 3.0, as well as OS/2 whenever that
filters down to the masses.

Any suggestions?  Is Northgate any good?  I have heard all the discussion
about Gateway, and they sound nice, but I haven't researched anybody.

Would getting the parts and building a system be a good way to go, and
does anybody have recomendations for a good motherboard?  I can hack
hardware, but would rather not (unless it could save a good deal of $s).

Thanks:  I will summarize if people email me.
