Is there anyone out there who has built a Unix box and could tell me
about their experience.  

I have been thinking of building because I believe it is cheaper and
more flexable than buying.  I'm planning to use the GNU Hurd, when it
eventually emerges, GNU applications/utilities and X with gwm.

It seems that the easiest way would be using components intended for
powerful DOS machines, since they are widely available.  I'm curious if
anyone, as an amateur, has constructed a box with a design different
from the PC standard.

My dream would be to use some Inmos Transputers but I think this would
conflict with my goal of minimal cost!

Any coments?  (Email preferred - I'll summarise and post.)
