@lunarloony I have a lovely 2144, but it's a later model with a Pentium 120! I love the G40 monitor as well, mine works perfectly.
@lunarloony The 2144 chassis/model had several configurations over the period of 2-3 years. They started in the 486 era, and went through the pentium MMX era. I'm sure he bought it early on when the 486 was still king, and that price sounds about right!
@yestergearpc I bet that is a delight to use! I'm not sure which model we had exactly - all I know is that my dad said it cost about £1,000 and that it was "top of the line". Then again, my dad does tend to exaggerate!
