A few weeks ago I scored a craigs list add - a pallet load of computers for $15. Turns out it was 4 servers, 2 mini computers, a monitor, 6 printers, a battery backup, and a box of cords and adapters. What's great is as I was loading up everything, I found a gem in the bottom.



Packard Bell PB8810 Turbo Vintage with Origonal Box | eBay

Finding a computer that old is a great deal any day - but the original box! I had quite a laugh as I read it, and wrote up the listing. Enjoy the pictures! My favorite quote is "Runs at 4.77 or 10 MHz, giving you all the speed you can tackle even large programs with ease"

Also note, this sold for $30, doubling my money on just this one part of the lot. I might have made more scrapping the PC and selling the floppy drives separately, but I wanted the box to go with the computer. What's worse is I almost missed it - someone had a chance at the lot first, but was only willing to pay $5 for it. I knew in 2 seconds I would get my money back in this.

Always fun to take a trip back to the past and what they had to work with.
