If it runs and you are willing to put in the effort to clean it up, sure.

For 50? Hell yeah.
Long-Hoof
Yeah I just got one playing DOOM Eternal at max graphics full Raytracing at 727 fps

Are u a Vault overseer?

Actually it’s more fun if it doesn’t work cuz then there’s no issue with stripping it out and putting a sleeper in there. I’m sure someone already has a liquid cooled 14900K/4090 IBM XT but there’s room for more.

If it’s busted amazing sleeper if not hey cool find
thatdudeoverdthee
Good case for a sleeper build
YOUR_TRIGGER
keyboard alone is to some people (pretty sure).
DONT-PM-ME-BOOBS-PLS
Like someone else said, I think a lot of people would pay that price for the keyboard alone
Paulied77
Actually, that’s an incredible deal. Those Xr cases alone are going for 200$ on eBay.

The IBM keyboard may fetch more than $50.

Ahh the old 5160, I had one of these things. I didn’t have its predecessor, the 5150 until years later (like mid-90s), but I used the shit out of this thing. I also had a Commodore 128 around the same time.
I gave both of them to a school when I bought my 5170 aka the AT, which later became more commonly known as the 80286 or just 286.
Does it power on?
PacxDragon
Worth it for the keyboard alone
YoMomsFavoriteFriend
Not bad. It should be able to play Crysis 3.
RLIwannaquit
for 50 bucks you’d be crazy not to buy it
TimeGhost_22
It may struggle to play some modern games.
Yuuzhan_Schlong
I guarantee you somebody on eBay will buy this for $1000. The retro PC market is that insane.
thisshitsstupid
For sure. The keyboards worth more than that.
HoseNeighbor
That KB might be worth more!
THEYoungDuh
No terrible deal.
Just curious, where is that? asking for a friend…
fetter80
Time to dust off the Oregon Trail floppy disk.
AmoebaPrize
I would cry tears of joy if I found that for $50
Cyber_Akuma
I love old computers, there are multiple retro computing subreddits too.
I no longer have my first PC but I still had all of it’s software disks, and have been trying to basically re-create it as close as I can virtually in PCem and 86Box.
Bushpylot
I paid $2k for one in the late ’80’s. It has turbo
Philosophos_A
If it works it would be a valuable piece of history and technology.
If not, there is always room for upgrades
Numitron
50$ would be a steal for this XT, even in that state.
The monitor and the keyboard by themselves are worth a lot if still operational.
This is a case where one man’s trash is another one’s treasure.
worldrenownedballdr
yes.. for the keyboard alone it worth it..
el0_0le
Terrible deal. I’ll give you $51 for it.
Mun0425
Even if in need of repair i say yes absolutely yes
Flendarp
Man I have a basement full of these types of things. Cases of floppies too. People pay money for this junk?
Rs-Travis
I’d buy It for the keyboard in a heartbeat
synapse187
I had one of those, learned dos on it.
TactikalKitty
If I had this, I might actually get my novel done. Zero distractions
