What to do with this computer
Posted by No_Primary436@reddit | vintagecomputing | View on Reddit | 13 comments
I'd like to make a few bucks selling this computer but I am also open to giving it to someone who would really enjoy it. Probably expensive to ship it. Thanks for any feedback.

Very nice. That's the kind of thing collectors would love.
You can try Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and EBay... just specify local pickup, and someone will be interested in that. I certainly would be, if that was within driving distance of me.

If you are in the US I would love to have it

Use it for windows 3.0/ DOS. And testing old dos games and softwares from late 80s until 1992

you can buy a adapter from ps2 to usb (if the interface is older than ps2, you can use a adapter for use that keyboard in actual pcs)

If the keyboard matches the computer, I think it'd be wrong to separate them. There's a whole world of brand new mechanical keyboards, including the unicomp m1s.
to the op: try facebook marketplace and craigslist. I'm not sure where you're located but there's a handful of vintage computing events in the US which usually have a place you can buy and sell stuff like this as well.
Good luck! That's a pretty sweet looking rig - I love that there wasn't even much yellowing. That hardware looks fresh.

There’s only one thing I can think of: THIS

ALR! I was certified on those back in the day!

Say where you are? That's the kind of thing I'm always hoping to see on Craigslist. I agree that it's prob not worth shipping.

That's a nice looking machine.

the pc has not uses actually, linux stopped the support for "obsolete" arquitecture like 486 or first pentiums (1, 2, 3, pro, gold, silver), also freebsd does not support cpus before 2005 (obviously windows and mac doesn't support cpus before 2015 or 32 bits only), you can remove all old components and build your gaming pc in that carcase or chasis, monitor may have uses like a soundwave viewer, the monitor will have problems with actual gpus
