We all know what the typical stuff looked like, but if you know of others that do have a bit more of a timeless aesthetic as opposed to something that was designed haphazardly, please pass on info. If you can't find good pictures, share what you can and I'll see if I can dig anything up.
I can't hunt big right now, but this is a decent pic of the 500 not 500 C (as in CD) model and it appears to still be in the box and opened up for documentation to a point.
http://ibmvaluepoint.blogspot.com/2018/ ... t-500.htmlIt came with on mine 2MB of RAM, 80MB Maxtor HDD, Sound Blaster Pro audio, 1.44" and CD (single speed, but half that by future standards) caddy based drive, 2400baud modem, not recalling much beyond that other than what i said before with the VGA/SVGA card.
By the way this thread mentions the CD and yes it did have a wicked version of the NES game Willow in far more better and colorful shape along with other stuff. Into the Eagles Nest, Skyfox 2, Road Runner, Infiltrator 1 and 2, Pebble Beach Golf, Bad News Brawler, lots of stuff.
