I've been doing it one piece at a time.  Building my own system
is nothing new, I've done it before.  Using second-hand parts or
parts that are less than leading-edge makes the whole process
very inexpensive.  Right now I've got a 486DX-133, 16M ram, a 420
Meg hard disk, a 20X CD-Rom, Sound Blaster 16 and my US Robotics
Sportster 14.4 modem.
 RP> Some of us is still strugglin' with old, slow, 386-SX type thingys.
 RP> Guess tha few of us left will hafta hold up DOS on our own now, eh?
Check into the used market, prices are very low.  One thing under
Win95 has surprised me; my DOS programs run significantly faster
under Win95 than under DOS.  Blue Wave now runs like the whole
thing was on a huge ram-disk.  However the external editor I use 
with Blue Wave is acting up a little.  I need to do some fine 
tuning with it, or maybe it just won't work with Win95.  Only 
time and testing will tell.
