Wake up to the current world.  The 5200 series sells in the $1400-1600
range
with a quality monitor and CD ROM.  The 6200 is about $1400 without
monitor.  Both
of these are 75MHz 603 machines with cache.  Then, there is the 7200 with
a 601
at both 75MHz and 90MHz.  The 75 goes for $1600 without monitor and the
90 goes
for $1800 without monitor.  Both have 3 PCI slots.

These are competitive systems.  Yes, you'll always be able to buy a
bargain PC,
but on average, these are reasonable.
