	I am getting ready to purchase a new PC clone system that I intend to
put together from component parts.  I would just like to throw my ideas out to
the net for comments on the luck that other users have had with some of these
components.  This system will be used with UNIX, MS-DOS, and MS Windows.  I
thank all of you in advance for any replies I might receive.

	- 486DX-50 EISA Motherboard with at least 16 Mb memory (256Kb cache)
	- Diamond Stealth VRAM
	- American Megatrends Caching EISA SCSI Controller
	- Nanao T660i Monitor
	- WREN ~600 Mb SCSI Hard Drive
	- NEC MultiSpin SCSI CD-ROM Drive
	- 5.25/3.5 Floppy, MultiFunction card for Floppy/Serial/Parallel/Game
	- Some sort of Video Editing card (open for comment)
	- SoundBlaster Pro
