I know --- hardware is so cheap now. The system I listed above was reasonably priced when I bought it:

486SX 25MHz
8 MB RAM
80 MB HD
5 1/4" floppy drive
3 1/2" floppy drive
2400 baud modem (internal!)
14" monitor (CRT, of course)

The affordable price of $1,599. (Canadian)

I remember buying a CDROM drive to replace the 5 1/4" drive. It was a 4X speed for $400. But, hey, I got to play Myst finally.
