   Point 4 ($2500 price) managed to work out; here's the breakdown of the system:

	   486DX2/66 VESA LB with 256K cache		$1375
	     (package includes 3-button mouse, Mitsumi 
	     keyboard, heatsink fan, 1M memory, 3.5" 
	     floppy, 42M HD, cheap 14" monitor and card)
	   upgrade to 16M 70ns RAM			 	 $601
	   upgrade to 340 meg HD				 $225
	   upgrade to Mag Innovision 15" monitor		 $248
	   upgrade to Diamond SpeedStar Pro		  $86

		   TOTAL					$2535

This upgrade to Diamond SpeedStar Pro seems questionable--I think
Xfree86 team does not support the Diamond cards?

Just my penni's worth,
