Well, let see.  The other day, your sales pitch was for a thing you

You can do the 486/50 DX for about $1750 if you build it yourself.
Even cheaper if you just happen to have one laying around.  Many
businesses do.

Can we please put this in a FAQ and deposit on ftp.greatcircle.com
as suggested by Brent so all can make their own decision instead
of the sales pitch.  ThankX
