Working IBM 5160 PC XT vintage computer. In good condition overall, some marks to the outer case (see photos for details). The back right corner of the case, above the power switch, is slightly dented with paint flaked off.

This listing is for the PC only, for the keyboard see my other listings.

PC powers on, completes internal self test and boots into IBM DOS 5.02 from the hard drive. Floppy drive reads data ok. 

The power supply in this PC has been modified. The original PCB inside the power supply has been removed, and replaced with a modern Seasonic brand one, while retaining all voltage outputs. 

Some tantalum capacitors have been replaced.

8087 maths coprocessor IC installed.

Expansion cards installed are: CGA video adapter, reproduction Adlib compatible sound card, parallel port card, MFM hard drive controller card, dual game port card, AST SixPakPlus memory expansion, clock, serial and parallel port card, floppy drive controller card and 3Com EtherLink II network card.

The CGA video adapter works using its composite output. I am unable to test the 9 pin output.

I have been unable to get the clock in the AST card to save the time between reboots.

The hard drive contains network drivers for the EtherLink card and allow it to be connected to a modern TCP/IP network over 10base2 cabling, see my other listings for related parts to this.

The parallel port loose out the back of the case is attached internally to the AST card. This simply slips out of the back of the case through an access panel, but can easily be removed if desired.

One case screw to hold the top of the case to the rest of the pc is missing, the other 4 are present.

The included hard drive is a half height model, not the original full height IBM drive. The original front panel cover from this drive is attached to the PC and externally appears the same. The activity LED on the fitted hard drive does shine through the red section in the cover.

A rare chance to get a working piece of modern computer history.
