A4000 was from Commodore mostly meant as a games developer system for A1200 game developers, so called serious users had graphics cards even back then.

In 1994 I bought my A1200 with Desktop Dynamite, a couple of joysticks and various extras for less than NOK 5000,-
At the same time my parents bought a 25MHz 486SX with 4MB RAM and 170MB disk for more than NOK 20.000,-

2nd hand 286s sure. A PC was more expensive, but that include 24 bit gfx, 16 bit snd and hard drive.

24bit gfx cards were very high end (expencive!) at the time, 256 and 16 colours was the norm and affordable 15/16bit was about to emerge. All this was running on the slowmess ISA bus, allthough some machines also had various other bus solutions, PCI had just barely been standardized. And the OS was Windows 3.0, 3.1, or 3.11 in networked office settings, and by networked I do not mean TCP/IP, but NetBIOS. If you wanted TCP/IP you had various hacks like winsock, wintrumpet, pathworks from DEC and similar crap.
