The price per pound is good…

This is the NEC Advanced Personal Computer (APC). The base model has a monochrome 640x475 display, one 8-inch floppy drive with 1MB capacity, and 128KB of RAM.

All this for less than 24 UKP per pound. And it only weighs 80lbs. Eighty pounds. Casual theft is probably not a concern with this monster.

The number of this beast? 80. Pounds that is.

You can start to see where the 80lbs come from when you see the guts of this thing.
