(There are two more.)
The guy is restoring an IBM PS/2 Model 30 (the 8086 version) – and it took a loooooooot of work. Hats off.
That machine holds a special place in my heart, because it was one of the first PCs I had (I think I had the 286 version, though). It always brings a smile to my face when I see one. 😊
I wish I still had mine. Re-buying one now is probably not a good idea, I wouldn't have the skills to do that kind of restoration. (Or I pay someone to do it, which would be super expensive …)

(Damn, I feel an urge to get hold of an old machine like that. At least some 386, but an 8086 would be better.)

@movq My first machine was an XT Laptop but my father had a 286 Desktop years before that I played around with when I was quite young. My friends had a Commodore 64

@prologic A laptop? Wow, those were a very rare sight over here back then. (And they were often shrugged off as “nobody needs this anyway”. 😂) I guess you don’t remember the specific model?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a C64 in person. 🤔 Maybe our school had some, but I don’t remember. 😅

@movq No don't recall the model sorry 😢 Nut it had a 10MB internal hard disk, 640kB of RAM, 3.5" floppy drive, monochrome display and a full keyboard 😆
That much I do remember 🤣
