Compaq Deskpro - 640KB RAM, 10MB hard disk. Used the 16-bit 8086 instead of the 8-bit 8088. Amber monochrome monitor. Had it for 7 years.
It was a better buy than the more expensive IBM PC AT with its 80286.
It was also Compaq's first desktop - they were known only for their portable (luggable) PCs at the time.
