- Adlib sound card

- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- All documentation and disks for each component (I saved everything).

Price:  $900

The only thing missing to complete this system is a VGA monitor, which
can go for anywhere between $100 to $250 depending on the type.  Not a
bad system for $1000 to $1150.

This is actually a great machine that I would never think of selling if
circumstances weren't as they are.  To make a long story short, my VGA
monitor died and I can't afford to replace it right now.  It may be
smarter to sell the machine now, but only if I get a good price for it.

Currently a 386sx package is approximately $1200.  That's usually with
SVGA, but also with only a 40 MB hard drive and only 2 MB RAM.  This
machine comes with a 130 MB drive and 8 MB RAM, not to mention the
2400 baud modem and the sound card.  There are still 2 drive bays and
three card slots left open in the case.

I realize that there is a tendency on the net for sellers to
accidentally post too high an asking price, and there is similarly a
tendency for buyers to "low-ball" a price.  I think the $900 is a fair
price for this system, but if it isn't then please offer what you think
is fair and tell me why.  I simply can't afford to sell this system for
much less than what it's worth.

Thanks,

- Rick
