I've seen this mid tower PC on my local free ads for like 5 euros. I wondered if anyone knows anything about Targa brand as I can't seem to find any info on this PC. It's in pretty bad shape and not sure how well it would clean up. I remember trying to clean a beige pc case I once had and recall I had no luck getting stains and stuff off. I like the case but not sure if its worth it. Cheers

It is one of those long forgotten budget brands. Here in Denmark, they sold pretty well in the late 80's, because they were cheaper than IBM and Compaq.

That is pretty much all I remember about Targa.

If it is only 5 Euros, I would get it just for the case. AT and Baby AT style cases are practically unobtainium these days. Even if the guts are absolute trash you still get a nice case out of the deal. The case looks like it would clean up well with a little 409 or something.

What do you use to clean?
Someoen here put me onto normal cif foam, works well on beige, scrubbed the black off a black case though!

Thank you for the replies and info. I guess I 'll pick it up and see whats inside, give it a clean and whatnot. If I have any success with it I'll report back.
