80’s PCs Were Physical . IBM PC XT Weight Why was the original IBM PC so heavy: 🧱 1. Thick steel chassis (not plastic) - The XT used heavy-gauge steel panels and internal framing - Designed to survive shipping, stacking, and daily corporate abuse - Strength shielding = serious mass Modern PCs save weight with thin steel and plastic. The XT didn’t. 🔌 2. Massive linear-style power supply - Large transformer, heat sinks, and metal casing - Built for stability and longevity, not efficiency - Much

We Fix Stupid Computers on Instagram: "Part 3 /‘RAM, maxxing/ - taking an old computer like the 1983 IBM PC XT and expanding the RAM to the maximum amount possible. Using the AST Expansion Six Pack Plus Card, we have added 384K of RAM to the IBM. Of course, we have to set the DIP switch settings to tell the IBM how much total RAM is added. 256K plus 384K of RAM makes a total of 640K RAM.

The 5.25” floppy in the IBM PC XT is way cooler than people think. 1️⃣ It stored 360 KB — that was huge \t•Double-sided, double-density \t•About 90 WordStar docs \t•1 low-res image 😅 Back then? Totally respectable. 2️⃣ The sound = physical positioning That iconic whine thunk chatter comes from: \t•A stepper motor physically moving the read/write head \t•No sensors — it counted steps \t•Disk slipped? ❌ Data gone It sounds alive! 3️⃣ It spins at a constant 300 RPM \t•Not “as needed” — always spin
