hey everybody and welcome back to the channel in this video i wanted to showcase something that i found on a local listing a grape desktop computer probably an xt judging by the presence of the five and a quarter inch disk drive and the five and a quarter inch hard drive as well as this beautiful monitor and i have to say the monitor is part of the reason why i picked up this little computer this is a taksan kx NUMBER_TOKEN a NUMBER_TOKEN inch monochrome monitor although i couldn't really read that from the local listing it had these kind of low resolution pictures making it impossible to determine the exact type of monitor i was kind of hoping for a cga or an ega monitor but hey we're not going to be complaining but before we dive into the machine a small word from our sponsor and this video is sponsored by pcb way a full feature custom pcb prototyping service if you need pcb prototypes smd stencils pcb assembly flexible pcbs or advanced pcbs pcb way has got you covered shipping to more than NUMBER_TOKEN countries worldwide processing thousands of pcb orders a day pcb way combines excellent pricing with excellent customer service check out their website to get a quote or get in touch with their friendly support staff if you have any more questions so back to our grape pc yeah i was kind of amazed that this was still around at the local listing after about NUMBER_TOKEN days nobody decided to pick it up i was kind of amazed by that because normally you know these kind of xt style computers they they are pretty sought after and it's always cool to have an xt system i mean the power button alone is definitely worth the purchase now the machine has another button here on the chassis and that's for opening her up that we will take a look at later on the machine is also a little bit bent on the top but on the back we have very few connectors we have the standard video and the parallel port a full-size serial port keyboard connector and then the power input and output that's basically it nothing more nothing less so yeah you have these full size power supplies i'm really hoping that this one will still work and not blow up as i turn it on there are some capacitors here in the vicinity of this keyboard connector that i hope will have survived but if not we can easily fix that so on the front we have the grape loho not really sure what that is we have some vents we have two drive bays and then the mfm hard drive and the five and a quarter inch floppy disk drive as you can see here the case is somewhat bent but overall in pretty good shape it's a bit dirty we have the full sized power supply we've got some room here for some connectors we have the standard xt keyboard connector a parallel port a video output and a full-size serial port we also have the power button which is kind of synonymous with these xt class machines and we also have a button here on the chassis and that's for easy access to the internals of the machine so basically we just push them down and they open up like the hood of a car which is pretty convenient if you ask me if you want to do some work on this machine i'm not at all familiar with the grape brand if somebody
