Here's an interesting one. At first this looks like any average "generic" PC of its era, with a generic case and off-the-shelf parts. There's a little horsehead logo on a badge that says "ELITE," but that in and of itself screams "generic," too. But then upon closer examination...
These generic systems were sold a dime a dozen in mom-n-pop computer stores and weird pop-up "Computer Fairs" around the country, so isn't it sort of weird for it to have a "Made in Taiwan" sticker on the bottom? Eh, maybe it's just the case... But then, there's a full-fledged model number on the back side, too...
Googling these will get you nowhere, however, but that FCC ID number tells us this is a "Tower Computer" made by "AESL Technology Inc." Who? Keep scrolling and you find the FCC application lists an "Alternative Contact" as... "Acer America Corporation."
So what does that make this thing? I have no idea. But for some reason, it sure looks like Acer was once selling a presumably lower-priced model under the brand name Elite (or AESL?) and this is one of 'em. Neat! I guess!
The model number, BG45-AP5CP gives us a clue what's inside. The motherboard is an AOpen AP5C/P, a Socket 7 board with the Intel 430FX chipset. Neat!
As you can see, it POSTs and is in pretty good physical condition. Other than that, what you see is what you get. I can't proceed beyond the screen above due to lack of appropriate keyboard. The reason for the error it hangs on is a dead Dallas RTC coin cell, which most anyone familiar with vintage machines should already be familiar with.
Socket 7 covers a lot of processors so it's hard to say what's in this one, but going by the type of Intel sticker seen on the case and the FCC documentation, we can conclude it must be a P5 Pentium 50, 60 or 66. It's got 24MB RAM, two 3.5" floppies, an 8X CD-ROM and a whole bunch of expansion cards (video, audio, modem, at least two network cards).
It's weird, it's heavy, you gotta have it.
