Hi

I am looking into buying a computer for our lab.  In particular:
486-33MHz
4M RAM
120M Hard drive
64k Cashe
Two floppies
2 s, 1 p
SVGA w/o acceleratr chip on card.  1Meg.
DOS 5.0, Windows 3.1 and a mouse.
101 key keyboard.

I can get this system from either Dell or Gateway 2000 for a somewhat
higher price $ 2350.  Other companies offered me better prices, such
as:

Centrix  $1795
ABS      $1747
Compu.sys $1675
HD Computers $1695

These companies are not as well known as the previous ones.  I would
like to know if I am sacrificing quality or service by getting the 
system from the cheaper place.  This system is going to Purdue
University and they are not used to dealing with other than Dell,.. etc.

I appreciate your help very much.  Thanks in advance.

Rana.
