Hi.  I'm looking for a color unix box:

-BSD 4.3 (or SunOS or ULTRIX, or some BSD based UNIX)
-Ethernet connector
-2 or more serial ports
-floppy drive (1.44M)
-at least 8 megs of RAM and space for at least 16 (4M SIMMs or 1M SIMMs)
-SCSI connector (and space for a SCSI drive internally)
-X windows (R4 preferred)
-megapixel color (8 bits or more)
-1.5 (or more) megaflops floating point
-RISC processor desirable (68040 also good)
-good C and C++ compilers (GCC, G++)
-GNU software (either already on it, or will compile for it)
-X clients (either on it, or will compile for it)
-other software
-...
-low cost repairs (ie, if it breaks, it won't cost a fortune to get it fixed)
-inexpensive (ahh, the twist :)

So what machine should I get?  I'm on a constrained budget :(
I realize that this is a "religious" matter :)  I would like to solicit
opinions as well as offers (if you have such a box).

			Thanks, Ralph
