Specs and info:

- Creative Sound Blaster 16 ISA Sound Card (CT2960)
- Diamond Supra 2750 PCI Modem
- S3 Trio64V+ 2MB PCI Video Card
- Fresh install of Windows 98 SE
Includes computer and power cable.
The computer boots up to a clean install of Windows 98 SE. Windows 95 (or maybe 3.1) would also be a good choice for hardware of this vintage. Ready for you to install your classic games/programs for a trip down memory lane! I have also copied the contents of the 98 SE CD-ROM to the hard drive since Windows frequently needs to access it when installing new hardware or features.
Requires a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse, along with a VGA monitor. Adapters to convert to modern video connections and USB peripherals may or may not work - sometimes they are troublesome on older hardware like this.
Be aware that this machine does not currently have USB support or a network adapter. If you need USB/network support for transferring files, you will need to add the appropriate hardware and install the drivers yourself.
Looks to have originally been a VTel computer (probably used as a teleconferencing controller) but otherwise I couldn't mind much on branding on it - looks to be in just a generic case.
Computer shows some wear from normal use - scratches and scuffs, dirt and dust, dents and dings, etc. Some of the rubber feet have deteriorated and are a bit sticky. Nothing too bad in my opinion, and nothing that affects performance or operation. It's in great shape for being 25-30 years old!
Price is $150. Will consider reasonable offers. Must meet at the Liberty gas station near Corning in Christiansburg (3250 N. Franklin St, Christiansburg, VA 24073). Cash only.
