Butting in Tom,
I've recently built a computer based on a 686-100MHz chip also and I am very 
happy with it.  I used some components from a 386DX40 and was left with a 
stripped down 386 that I sold to offset the new one.  That's the background, 
NOW what I would like to ask is how do I save money on building another 686 
from the ground up?  Swap meet and other prices from cheap deals in the green 
guide won't give me a total lower than than some dealers.  How do I buy 
components so that I save overall given my labour isn't being factored in?
Regards,
John Ascenzo
