I recently ordered a 486DX2-66 from Midwest Micro and:

	1)  The system would not boot up
	2)  The video cable had a bent pin
	3)  They sent a 14" monitor even though I ordered
	    a 15" monitor.  And, oh BTW they charged me for
	    the 15" monitor.
	4)  I took off the cover and found a cooling fan
	    that was not in its socket, with about 10 badly
	    bent pins.

So I returned the system for a refund, shipping EXcluded.  So now
I am out 75 bucks for nothing (52 bucks for the original shipment,
23 to send it back with insurance)!  They offered to pay for the 
return shipping on the condition that I wait around 6-10 days for 
UPS to come by and get it.  BULLS&#@!!!  Needless to say I am very
disappointed with Midwest Micro, and I am ordering a system from
Gateway 2000 instead (fingers crossed)..........
