Oh man, I doubt have any experience with these AIO models, but I've heard they can be a pain. Much more proprietary than a desktop system.
I say take it super slow. Do lots of research. Ebay saved searches are your friend.
And don't forget to sit down and use it. I have a bad habit of not actually using all the computers I fix up. Using them tells you what needs to be upgraded. Otherwise you're just throwing parts at it for the numbers.
I love these side-by-side comparisons. That spectrum screenshot is especially impressive given how most games looked when ported.
It was a trash find. Got the computer, keyboard, monitor, printer, and PeachText out of an e-waste bin. The other accessories are from ebay.
It's the computer I've owned the longest, probably close to 20 years now.
Isn't it?!? It's hard to tell in pictures but the floppy drives are 1/4 bay height, so half the height of a normal 5 1/4". They use an electromagnetic solenoid to move the heads to keep them thin. That mech is what fails, unfortunately.
I even have a Titan QX-PC IBM pc emulator card for it. There was also a dual monitor display card available. It's a really cool machine that nobody ever heard of.
