ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS

          On April 7, 2000, Allstar Systems, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press
release  announcing  that on April 6, 2000 it had entered into an amendment (the
"APA Amendment") of the previously announced Asset Purchase Agreement,  dated as
of March 16, 2000 (the "Purchase  Agreement"),  with Amherst  Computer  Products
Southwest,   LP,  a  Texas   limited   partnership   ("Amherst"),   and  Amherst
Technologies, L.L.C., a Nevada limited liability company ("AmTech"), relating to
the sale of certain  assets and the ongoing  business of its  Computer  Products
Division.  Pursuant to the APA  Amendment,  in addition  to the  purchase  price
provided in the Purchase  Agreement,  Amherst paid to the Company  $250,000 as a
non-accountable  expense  reimbursement.  In  addition,  pursuant  to an  Escrow
Agreement among the Company,  Amherst and Compass Bank (the "Escrow Agreement"),
Amherst placed $500,000 in an escrow account to be applied to the purchase price
at closing of the  transaction.  If the transaction  does not close, the Company
will receive all of the escrowed funds,  unless the failure to close is due to a
breach by the Company of certain of its  representations  or  obligations in the
Purchase  Agreement or certain of the  conditions  to Amherst's  obligations  to
close in the Purchase  Agreement not being  satisfied,  in which event,  Amherst
will receive all of the escrowed  funds;  and provided  that if the  transaction
does not close  because  litigation  is  pending  or  threatened  that  prevents
consummation  of the  transaction  or that  could  cause the  transaction  to be
rescinded  once closed,  the escrowed  funds will be split  equally  between the
Company and Amherst.

          In connection  with the execution of the APA Amendment,  James H. Long
entered  into an  amendment  (the "VSA  Amendment")  of his Voting  and  Support
Agreement  with  Amherst.  Pursuant  to  the  VSA  Amendment,  Mr.  Long  agreed
unconditionally to vote his shares of common stock of the Company,  representing
approximately  50.1% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, in favor of
approval  and  adoption  of  the  Purchase   Agreement  and  against  any  other
transaction  involving the Computer Products Division.  Mr. Long also executed a
proxy (the  "Proxy")  granting  two  designees  of Amherst the right to vote his
shares in favor of the  Purchase  Agreement  and against  any other  transaction
involving the Computer Products Division.

          The APA Amendment,  VSA Amendment,  Escrow Agreement,  Proxy and press
release are filed as exhibits  hereto and are  incorporated  by  reference.  The
descriptions of the APA Amendment, VSA Amendment, Escrow Agreement and Proxy set
forth above do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the provisions of such agreements.
