Practical period IBM computer, monitor & keyboard

This is the original IBM PC first produced in 1981. Very distinctive shape - particularly the boxy monitor. Perfect for 1980s office scenes. We have a good run of these both non-practical & a few practical. Two types of screen are available - the original monochrome green screen & the low res colour CGA screen. The green screen monitors have what is called a long persistance phosphor which means that roll bars & flickering are unnoticeable when filmed. They were originally notoriously noisy with both a loud whirring fan & a rasping hard drive but we've managed to quieten them down to keep sound recordists happy.

The monitors have a weird proprietry video interface that can't accept video or still image signals except from the original IBM PC that this would sit on. It would be quite hard to display anything other than text or lo res graphics on them. 

Computer mice were barely in use at all when these first came out but if required, we can supply beige mice for when your scene is set later into the 1980s.
