Condition

Vintage used condition with limited testing only. Computer powers on and produces the BIOS screen shown in the photos. The screen displays several boot messages/errors, including system battery is dead, keyboard error, and COM address conflict. I do not have a keyboard with the older input needed to get past this screen, so this is the only functionality I was able to test. Item is sold as pictured.

Please review all photos closely for exact condition, including case, rear label, model number, ports, expansion cards, drive bays, exterior plastic, discoloration, scratches, scuffs, dust, dirt, storage wear, and signs of age/prior use.
