Re: [TCLUG:9649] CHEAP PC MANIA

Go to a Computer Renaissance and have a look.  Normally they are way over
priced ... but, the other day, I saw about 30 - 486 minitowers with varying
specs for $30 a piece.  They were at the Coon Rapids store off of 242.  I
found one with 730MB drive, 16MB memory with 70ns 72-pin SIMMs.  Worth a
shot.  Also, check out the bargain area at the Roseville location.
