Hello everyone I'm new here and new to vintage computers I finally acquired my first one iv wanted to do a itx lunchbox build for awhile it just so happens that the one I picked up is in perfect working condition it looks like it's been sitting in the back of someone's closet for years it even has the power supply manuals and software I will be gutting everything out of this computer from the screen to the center plastic that everything mounts to the only thing I'm keeping are the case and keyboard I would like to trade the old parts for parts to do the itx build I'm open to offer's as well and I'm more the happy to ship any off these items but you will have to pay shipping

Yes, very sad! I’m actually looking for a good one of these and this is really painful to see.

This makes me almost wanna cry...

I hate seeing a good working machine destroyed, but hopefully it will live on and fix other machines. At least OP isnt throwing the rest away. Thank you for not doing that. Is the floppy drive still available?

What's distressing is seeing that 27C64 missing its label apparently outside in sunlight. Whatever was on there is probably corrupt now.

There is only one kind of light to clear data quickly and efficiently it would have to be a fluorescent light from a Mercury vapor light bulb it will take about 20min if you put it under your traditional fluorescent light it would take a few months and if you put it under the light of the sun directly it would take about a week to erase all of the data

I'd be interested in the electronic parts incl display but not the drives.

Did not say erased, but corrupt. All it takes is one bit to be erased to invalidate whatever data was on there.
