About all you need to put together a working clone is a case, keyboard, motherboard, monitor, floppy, vga card and a combination serial, parallel, ide and floppy controler card. Opps, allmost forgot Dos. IF you have a multisync monitor you're half way there. I picked up a 486 33sx with case, keyboard, floppy & combo IO card for about $400.00. The HD and Monitor are the most expensive parts. When you do buy a motherboard, make sure there is a 486 chip on it. I've heard of vendors selling 486 motherboards with cpu but not telling you the cpu is a 386 or a Cyrix wanabe 486. Darren
