I'm loving these! Will use some of them for build inspiration! I found it hard to remember what kind of systems were common back in the day.

Also, after a few years of looking, I finally found a picture of the case I had my childhood 486 in (a 'Planhold' PC), it's this one from the Recom / Fascom ad from 1996:

Now to find the actual case...

These ads are very handy for searching period correct parts.

These are really cool! Thanks for taking the time to scan them. 😀

Yeesh, "Globital" sure is a name straight out of its time, isn't it? Some marketing twit thought they were being super-clever...

I don't know why today's youth complain so much about the prices of computers today. I think computer prices today are a bargain.
Especially the Base model iPad at $330. or $250 on Amazon.com

@intel486dx33, keep the preaching for Apple out of this thread. It had 0 added value.

Nice post/ads, good to see the setups from those years and the sometimes odd way of advertising.
Also a lot of brands/names that are now gone forever 🤣
