Subject: Computational Chemistry on the Cheap

Imagine you are an eager computational chemist who dreams
of doing semi-empirical, Hatree-Fock, many-body perturbation
theory, and coupled cluster calculations.  Now imagine that 
you are dirt poor and have no access to a unix workstation,
let alone a supercomputer.  You don't need a fancy front end,
but you would like to be able to visualize a molecular orbital
or electron density map now and then.

    What is the least expensive way to go?  A 486 PC clone?
Running what software for computation?  For visualization?
