I'm thinking of getting a 33MHZ 386 bundle, but i'm not really sure what company i should get it from. I need a cheap, reliable company to buy from. Have any of you been satisfied with a company to date? Macros.

I need a cheap, reliable company to > buy from. Have any of you been satisfied with a company to date? I've gotton an Elonex 386 running at 33MHz and have had no problems with it. You'll get a system with 150Meg HD, 1.44Meg 3.5" floppy, colour VGA, etc... for about #2000. There is a good add by them in this months Computer Shopper. It's certainly worth checking out. I've found Elonex machines to be the cheapest, but still of very high quality.

Elonex have a full page ad in Novembers Computer Shopper (page 35). Apologies, but the price I gave was for the 25MHz version not the 33Mhz, but the other specs. are the same. They appear to be an English company - but maybe they're a Taiwanese group that just set up a European office in England - how else could they get the motherboards so cheaply :-) They have the following offices: LONDON: Elonex plc., 2 Apsley Way, London NW2 7HF FAX : 081-452-6422 SALES : 081-452-4444 Tech.
