[16:52]<@BC_Programming> Original IBM PC 5150 on ebay for $169.99 USD.... I'm actually somewhat tempted...
[17:09]<+camerongray> Ooh!
[17:10]<+camerongray> Just the machine or do you get the monitor/keyboard too?
[17:11]<@BC_Programming> just the machine sadly
[17:12]<@BC_Programming> this my hesitation, given Model F keyboards and MDA displays seem to cost ridiculous amounts
[17:14]<@BC_Programming> alternatively, a CGA(allowing composite as I recall) or VGA card isn't cheap either
[17:15]<@BC_Programming> On the other hand I could always get it and then get the parts needed to actually use it at a later time...
[17:19]<@BC_Programming> looking through a list of known compatible VGA cards for the 5150, would save on a monitor that way...
[17:23]<@BC_Programming> VGA card would be around the same price, as with a Model F
[17:23]<@BC_Programming> I'm thinking it's not worth it
[17:25]<@BC_Programming> well obviously it's not worth it but I mean for the novelty
