Pricing Strategy
This is about the price you could get a similarly equipped 386 PC from
Micro Center or CompUSA for (on a good sale day). I think this
computer is better than any of those for the following reasons:
1. The NEC monitor is *much* higher quality than the typical bundled
monitor.
2. The 256 kB cache really makes the machine fast. Most PCs have
either no cache or a small 64 kB cache.
3. The 16 SIMM slots means you can load the machine up with
memory using inexpensive 1 MB SIMMs.
4. The case is mid-sized (normal height, small footprint) but
has 2 half-height drive bays still available. Add more disk
or a CD-ROM or a tape drive quite easily.
