Default Pics of my 1995 Compaq desktop

This was my very first computer. This badboy cost more than my current computer. Close to $2500 brand new back in the day.

It had:
Windows 3.1
95Mhz Intel processor
8MB memory
535MB HD space
14.4k modem

I found it in storage today..I decided to take it apart and snap some pics:

no. the first PII was a 233MHz and it certainly wasn't around in 1995. the cpu is under the green anodised heatsink.
