I'm typing this on a DELL 450DE (486DX-50) worstation. This box *screams*!!
Buy one, now! No kidding, it is easily the best 486 box I've seen.

There are no problems with the 486DX-50. It just requires a bit of thought
on the part of the system designers to cool it. (Just think about those
10 amp Alphas though).
