Very nice project, post more pictures of this awesome retro room when it takes shape!

Very clean system, I like it.

I would also recommend trying a later Trident card like an 8900B/C if you're interested in keeping the system period-correct as far as the hardware goes, however an 8800CS looks like a fine choice too 😀

I will have more detailed pics soon. The mfg date on the rear is 12-14-89. The 8800CS also was '89 so that's close enough for me! I was also fortunate to find a NOS MPU-IPC-T (which is also '89). I will likely go the direction of a Roland D-50 rather than a module. There is an old computer shop near where I live that is a warehouse of vintage parts, I can likely find some stuff there to. I know he still has IBM PC Jr's still new in the box 😀

Nice, I had figured it was from 1990 looking at PC mag archives on Google. Good luck, and definitely post some more pictures soon!

Keyboard may be ugly but looks to be well built.
I bet if you do the "double shift test" that keyboard will pass quite well

Look forward to a whole retro room! Most of us stop at the PC

Nice set. I always have a soft spot for 80286's, my first pc.
The monitor matches the case wisth nicely.😀

The keyboard weighs almost 4 lbs. It's built well. This may be a good opportunity to try out the retrobright solution and see if it actually works. I could also get a new label printed for the Acer logo.

Nice system. As with kin I have a soft spot for 286s a well.
