Hi

I am looking for a computer that was made by Syntax Computers in the 1990's. They made 386 and 486 computers..

I want it for nostalgia reasons as it was my first PC. if any one could help me track one, I would appreciate it.

I am attaching a picture of it taken from a video screen shot

I'm unsure if you would ever be able to find one, it is one of the boring beige boxes during the 90s which were made to custom order. All sorts of small businesses assembled them and slapped their brands on the case, but finding a specific brand might be hard.

This was an actual company in Singapore, not just a sticker brand on a generic case. If I can find a case I would be very happy

Interesting...it really does look like a generic beige box. Must be hard to find, can't find much info at all on them

Here is a tower variant of the case. This is a 386. Even the monitor has the Syntax Logo

Congrats! Nice case, and can relate to the feeling of finding what is now an obscure nostalgic item - mine was a Datamini Apple clone. Hope to see a build log of your Syntax PC one day. Did you find it in SG?
