Hello, FYI - I just put together a system w/K5/133, 16 Meg, floppy & 2 Meg Video case, keyboard & mouse (all new) for $225, add a CD-ROM for $50, 16 Meg more RAM for $40, and you're at $315. Throw in a network card, $50 (for a good DEC based one) and you're at $365. There is room for an HD in that price (but I had an 850 Meg on the shelf, along with a CD-ROM & RAM). I like the one-floppy OS for a simple use - walking up to any PC w/modem, reboot, and I can call my home network and do LOTS of text-based work in a BSD environment. Similar to QNX One Disk demo system (includes frames-capable browser!).
