This lot is for a genuine Hewlett Packard Vectra 486/33VL Intel CPU imported from Europe. It initially came with a 33MHz CPU, an extra 512k video card and 4mb RAM. The system was thoroughly t...ested and upgraded. It will easily take a 66 MHz CPU - one jumper change and plop one in. I only had a 50 Mhz CPU lying around so that went in. The system is clean, 8.5/10 external condition (yellowing to the power switch panel has been addressed and it looks as white as the rest of the case now) and everything internal has been tested. I have also retrobrighted the case, so it looks as good as new! The keyboard and mouse are IBM units that work well. Everything has been cleaned up, inside and out. Speakers are integrated into the HP LCD monitor and do sound quite good.
A power cord is also included. Windows 3.11 and some games also were already on the hard disk (see Windows picture). All drives work. I added an 8X CDROM, soundcard, 8Mb RAM, and 128k L2 cache. I also upgraded the CPU to a DX/2 50 MHz. The original 33MHz CPU will be included should you want to revert it back to stock.
The specifications/inventory list:
-Intel 486 DX2/50 MHz CPU-HP PK657AA LCD 17 inch with integrated speakers (all cords included)
-HP mainboard with integrated COM (2x), LPT, PS/2 mouse and keyboard, as well as 512k video by Cirrus Logic (This card POSTs - not tested past that)
-128k cache
-12Mb RAM via 72 pin SIMMs (1x 4Mb SIMM, 1x 8Mb SIMM)
-Trident TVGA 9000C 512k ISA video card
-Integrated FDC and IDE controller
-Maxtor 7345AT IDE hard disk (no bad sectors, quiet in operation)-Goldstar 8x IDE CDROM
-1.44 Mb floppy drive
-MAD16 Soundblaster compatible soundcard (OPTI 929, I think)
-104 key IBM PS/2 keyboard
-IBM PS/2 mouse (or choice of HP PS/2 mouse with scroll wheel)
-Power cord
Despite best efforts and rigorous checks, this is a vintage piece of hardware and I cannot offer a warranty on it, nor can I accept returns. I have sold a number of vintage computers, and have had no issues with domestic and US buyers.
International shipments (outside of USA) must be cleared first. I have had problems with shipping to South America and items being seized/stuck at Customs. CONTACT ME FIRST if you are international, do not just buy the hardware and expect me to ship it.
I insure the item at full purchase price and I do not ship with UPS under any circumstance.
tem will be discounted by $50 if a local pickup is done (Greater Toronto Area).
Please see my other auctions for more retro builds.
