I just picked this up from a job site and it's been sitting since probably 1996.  Likely unused for 17-18 of those 22 years.  Currently not powering on and filthy.  Clean up first and then I'll be troubleshooting the power on issues.  Stay tuned.  I can take any other pics requested.  I have no idea what OS it's running but I assume Windows 95 or PC DOS.  I plan to make it an old fashioned gaming PC for Doom and the like if I can get it up to snuff.

Sorry if I stop responding, I've probably gotten busy as I mostly am only on here while working.

8-bit guy might've fixed one of these before, if you wanted to watch someone fix old computers.

Yeah I need to get my desk cleared off to get it on there and for @AskTJ I'm working on getting it opened.  It has been shoved back together wrong so it's not coming open easy.

Ok got some inside pics before and after cleaning.  Still not powering on so I'll need to find a pinout and test the power cables to see if they're even putting out power.  

Edit:  Is there some way to be able to upload more than 20MB total?

Please tell me it came with a keyboard 

Sadly if there was one there I didn't find it.  Why?

My guess it's one of the mythical Model M keyboards that all mechanical keyboard enthusiasts get a hard-on over xD
