Which IBM PC is the best when it comes to styling?
From the 80s in particular?
I'm looking for a low cost (must have green screen) style IBM PC.... Anyone have anything I should look at on the bay of fleas? Ta! P.S. I want it for my desk at work

I had an Olivetti 286 pc...but that was horrific looking.
The old IBM machines looked way ahead of anything else of its time....i liked my sx55 386. |

The towered Ps2's were awesome...my first 486 was one of those, then i went to a packard bell 486 dx2-66...what a piece of carp that was!

If it's just the green screen you want, I have an Apricot Hercules display which gives a rather smart-looking 720x384 (IIRC) 80-column display in green, together with a Hercules GFX card which you can install in any PC-XT or AT machine. |
