Hatta Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Man I'd hate to see what shipping on that would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquare75 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Eh I shipped an "IBM PC" first model type a few years ago for $55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm very interested but don't have space right now and shipping will be exorbitant I bet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax2069 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) I owned the IBM PC 5150 a while ago (luckily for me it was local pickup) because it was heavy. http://abcresellers.com/store/product8.html If you thought that was bad, i use to own a IBM PS/2 Model 8560 TOWER it had a few upgrades in it (a 268 to 386 CPU upgrade, Ram upgrade, and so on), i was forced to let it go for free. you could use this thing to crush cars with. The tower alone was like 40-44lb in stock form, and with the upgrades made it around 50-60lb (not including the monitor). http://abcresellers.com/store/product177.html just using that site for reference, wow the prices.

Herbarius Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I still can't help but think I'm typing right at one... When I read "IBM PC AT" my mind is just automatically substituting "Modern, normal PC"... Am I the only one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulBlazer Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Negative. 8 MHz 286 I believe. perfect for old games. REALLY old games. I think the best system to have for most things would be a 386, running around 15-25 Mhz. Maybe a 486, but some stuff like Wing Commander would run a bit too fast on that. But one of those systems with DOS 6.0 and MemMaker, with a goos Sound Blaster sound card and perhaps a CD-ROM, could be a wonderfull gaming machine.

psquare75 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 For someone who plays StarFlight 1 and 2 Regularly, this system is ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
