That price seems a little high. I was selling these from a custom shop in 1994 and a pretty well equipped 486 and then Pentium was about $2,000 to $2,500. You could spend a bit more and get better audio and video cards, but the base models at the time ran Doom and Quake pretty well. Computers seem like they have stayed in that range all my life. Back then I had a $2k desktop and today I have a $2k MacBook. There were always cheaper options for budget conscious buyers and the sky has always been the limit if you want to go crazy.
