Owned one, watched it fry when the power supply went bad. I'd added a PC's
Limited function card (the guys who became Dell), and that went, too. The only
thing to survive was that 10 Meg drive. I kept it for years out of
sentimentality. <grin>
Total cost of the system was $3645.

The first one I owned didn't even have a hard drive and the system board
wouldn't have supported one. This was in 1984. The first IBM PC to have a
hard drive was the PC XT and it shipped with a single 10Mb drive.

Well, let's see if somebody can beat this one. My first computer with a
hard drive had 2 10 meg hard drives, and everybody thought I would never be
able to fill them both.
