We have a "lunch pail" type system which is available on 286, 386SX, and
386DX (20Mhz) sizes... 

It has near-normal expansion capability (believe it or not!), and uses a
rather interesting board-mounting system.  It's a very unique system;
available with either Plasma and LCD displays.

These aren't as cheap as a standard cabinet, but they are >much< less
expensive than the comparable Compaq system.  Somewhere in the $3k range I
do believe, depending on the display option you want.

Call or email for more info including pricing!
