Don't remember the price, but I worked all summer with my dad to pay it off! My first computer I purchased was from Service Merchandise. It was a 286, with 25 MB hard drive and 16KB of Ram... $850. It did not have a cd rom and I needed one. I saved and saved for months to purchase a 2x CD-Rom.... For $450.
