The first PC I got (as in could run DOS/Windows rather than some other OS) 
was in 1997 and it cost 1200 pounds.  IIRC it was a 166 MHz with 16Mb of 
RAM.  Before that I had an Acorn machine in around 1992 that was vastly 
cheaper (I think like 300 for the computer and 300 for the monitor).

All my screens still ripple when you touch them :-)
