I am trying to find a picture of my first PC, a 286 clone computer.

The case was a Desktop type, not tower.
It had the 3.5 floppy bay on the far right side, mounted vertically. The 5.25 bays were next to the 3.5 bay on its left.
Power/Reset/Turbo on front, near the middle IIRC. Rounded shape
I do not remember if it had a MHZ display.
It was beige.

If you have pics of case from that era, please post them ! I would really like to "see" it again.

NOT THESE ONE

Wow, someone "dragged" that 286-era case well into the late 90s?

I shouldn't be pointing fingers, though. I dragged my A64 case well into the Ivy Bridge era. Only now that I gave that i3 PC to my brother (on a cheap new case) I reunited it with its original hardware.

Dont't know, but those were really common in the 286 / 386SX era.
