Andy I am a semi-proud owner of the same Packard Bell Pentium 60 system that you describe. When I bought it last June the Price was approx $2800 with a 15" monitor. Since then you can get the P-5 90 for even less. I would opt for the Pentium 90, wait until Intel is shipping only good pentium chips (another month or so) and AVOID Packard Bell if possible. My system has been basically trouble-free but it is nigh on impossible to get Phone support from PB and they are rated as the worst service in the business. (Dec 1994 PC Magazine) Dell seems to be about the best overall, but Micron appears to load the most bang for the buck. Get a copy of Computer Shopper and do some homework. Try to leave yourself enough $ to add 8meg more of RAM and purchase Adobe Premiere for nonlinear editing. Good Luck AL
