I total it and I get about $3035 without the mouse. I'm picking up a new
system today that is configured as follows:
PC Express 386-33mhz system 2530
Wedge Motherboard w/64k cache
4MB ram
1.2MB and 1.4 MB floppies (TEAC)
Panasync 1381c monitor
DOS 4.1 installed
100 MB IDE drive
Focus 16 bit SVGA with 1MB
I put together the following upgrades:
Diamond SpeedStar 1MB SVGA 79
Seagate ST1144A disc drive 40
Mini Tower case 39
total price: 2688
If you added a second floppy to your recommedation we'd have about a $400
price difference with the major discrepancy being 4Mb of RAM. Can I get
4 MB ram for less than $400?
