I have set aside a few intel machines from the 90's. I really like the
quality of the Dell Dimension 466V.

Depends on your CPU needs, but if you're
willing to settle for P2/P3
era,
anything using the Intel i440BX or GX generally
has very good ISA
support.
Well, to be honest, I don't have any real need beyond enough to run the
OS, a basic editor (preferably something more user friendly than
ed(lin)) and run a networking stack.
I /might/ consider playing some old DOS / Windows 3x / Windows 9x based
games, nothing fancy. (Yoda Stories is the most likely candidate.)
If you want to go earlier than that (90s covers a
lot of ground), a 486
or P1 or SS7 board might also be a possibility.
Ya.
I'm thinking more in the P I / II / III range.
