Further to the Mike Strangelove's comments re the above, a few points that may
be of use.
First, it is my understanding that you should not need two fans for a 486 -
thse are only required if the chips themselves generate a lot of heat, which
is apparently a design fault on the lower-end (quality) machines. I have had a
486DX-50 with a single fan at home for quite a while now while no problems.
Second, when purchasing a beastie, look at a mini-tower and not a desktop:
that way you get the best of both worlds.
Thirdly, ensure you have a video card populated to 1MB of RAM (preferably a
Tseng Labs card) which will give you crisper images and subtler hues.
Finally, this ongoing saga of Mac V Unix v ISA (IBM compatible) should be a
non-event once PowerOpen is released (1993/4): PowerOpen is the joint effort
of Apple and IBM to design and produce an operating system that will run
identically on all three platforms (and squeeze out MicroSoft).
Maybe it will also walk on water and make perfect souffles...

Regarding Stuart Lee's request for info on Shelley e-texts: there
is a project in progress at the University of Maryland that
