Hi folks,

I’ve been hunting for a Compaq Prolinea 575 or 590 (not the “e” variant) for a very long time. I did finally find an “e” variant on eBay for a good price and settled. Unfortunately, when it arrived it was busted into dozens of pieces. I plan to piece it back together, but I know it’ll never be the same.

Anyway, based in the UK, and would appreciate a hint for where I might be able to find one. Got my eBay saved searches, but I’m not holding out much hope. The search hits seem to get less frequent as time goes on.

Here’s someone on YouTube showing one off last month…

Wonderful machine. Brings back such fond memories.

I locally sold one like that in the video a couple of months back.. but I'm in NA. Shipping such PCs is a big gamble. I don't recommend it.

Now that I look at its photos, mine was a 5100:
