I built a Heathkit H100 computer about 2 years ago.  It went
together in about 10 hours.  Only the floppy disk controller card
required soldering.  The motherboard and video board were
pre-assembled and tested.  I had no problems, everything worked the
first time.  I bought the kit from my local Heathkit dealer.  A
friend of mine bought one with me, so we got a 10% discount for
two.  Heathkit also offers discounts (10 or 20%) to Heath Users
Group members.  You can ask at any Heathkit store about membership,
I think it runs $10 or $15 per year.  I know of no discount houses
that sell the kit computers.

I hear that the H150 and H160 computers are very IBM compatible,
for about $1000 savings.  If compatibility is important to you,
these are good buys.  The H100 has better graphics, a S100 bus, and
build in dual 8088 (16 bit) and 8085 (8 bit) microprocessors
for about the same price, which makes it a better buy in my mind.
