Ladies and gentlemen, our first IBM/PC.

We've been using this as storage for about 18 years now. Needless to say the box outlived the 'box' by about threefold! :laugh:

I can remember when 8mb sticks or ram were £1000. I must be old.

We upgraded the processor with a fake Pentium snap-on CPU that always crashed until I upgraded to Windows 95.

My dad showed up one day with a 1.2GB Seagate drive (noisiest turd in the world) that I think he said he paid like $520 for.

This baby limped with cheapy upgrades for several good years. It even ran NT 4.0 for a while.

I think there might be a typo in that statement :laugh:

LOLLLL!!! You would be correct on that haha. 8GB for 170 is a steal even today. Can you imagine Win 3.1 on 8GB though?! WOOO!!!
