Write your reply.

assistant: Selling a barebones system dirt cheap.  This consists of a 486 Motherboard
with Intel 486-DX33 processor.  Also has 256k cache on board.  Memory is 5 MB
consisting of 4 - 1 MB Simms and 4 - 256k Simms.  Also has IDE Controller
card with it.  Comes with Aztech 14.4 Internal Modem.  Also Local Bus Tseng
Labs 1 MB Video Card.
Slot configuration is 5 - 16 bit slots and one Local Bus.  Memory
configuration is 8 - 30 pin Simm slots with a max memory of 32 MB.  These
components are all in prefect working order, as I just pulled them from my
system for an upgrade.
All you need to add is your case, monitor, hard drive and keyboard to have a
fully functional system.
First $65 takes the whole deal.  Have some other memory chips to test, so
this may end up having 8 meg on it if I have some more that test good.  As it
stands, it only has 5 meg on it.  E-Mail me here for info, or for a quicker
reply, mail me at:
