Zahid,
I think that to get to a audience that is totally PS/2 orientated 
you should be subscribing and posting to comp.sys.ps2.hardware .
Looking at my latest catalogue posted to me by Lou @ General Technics
I see that the PS/2 236 can be upgraded to a 486SLC2 50MHz for $235.
Disks can be 256mb 15ms IDE for $243, 420 mb 13ms IDE for $256 or
545mb 12ms IDE for $293. 
If you post your requirements I am sure that you will get many 
informed coments from this newsgroup.
