Hello,
I am in the market for a new computer, I am trying to decide as to what
company to buy from and what parts(harddrives, video cards, etc.) to avoid. 

Processor: at least 486SX/25
 o what motherboard manuf. should be avoided? are pretty good?
 o what chipsets should be avoided(those noted with problems). I have a
   soundblaster I am going to install, a co-worker told me that some chipsets
   cause soundblaster problems.
 o what type of memory?

Harddrive:
 o I have had pretty good luck with Seagate, how are others?

SVGA Card:
 o At least 1MB memory??who

Monitor at least 14" NI:
 o a couple of co-workers has Viewsonic monitors(they all like them), how are
   CTX, EMC, Casper, Pionex, any others? 
 o what is the main difference between a NI and Multifreq. and Multisync. 
   monitors.

Floppy Drives, Keyboards, Controllers:
 o ?????????

Thanks in advance for your help.
