If you were to design your dream machine what components would you choose? This machine would be able to run both ms-dos and unix and be reasonable in price/performance. It would be assembled from currently available parts. Processor speed, disk size, and memory size are not important. If you actually wanted to build one you could adjust the price to your needs by giving up some disk space or using a 25mhz instead of a 33, etc. The purpose of this survey is to compile for the net the "peoples' choice" machine. Please indicate your favorite : Case Style : desktop [large, small], tower [mini, full] Mother board : what manufacturer or perhaps "don't care" Bios : Of course this is closely related to the motherboard but if you had a choice... Peripherals : Please include your favorite video controller and monitor, disk controller and interface type (scsi, ide,..) and other "wish i hads", ie. sound, tape, bread maker :-) To vote for your favorite components please mail uunet!babss!wadswort and I'll compile the list and post it. I'll keep your name out of it to prevent flames from people who might disagree with you (like your employer perhaps?) Let the peoples choice dream machine survey begin !! John H.
