I miss the days of my local corner computer store in the '90s -
advertizing in MicroTimes or Computer Currents, and competing with the
store down the road.

You could pick the motherboard, the case, video card, and they'd have it
together in a day. Throw in one of those pirated copies of Windows and
MS-DOS, pick a soft or clicky keyboard, and you're good to go.

They were a great way of building linux-friendly systems before
hardware support was wide-spread.
