IBM PC/XT 5160
These seem harder to find here in the UK compared to across the pond. I put together this system from various different sources!
Computer itself: FB marketplace, extremely dusty and dirty from decades of storage. Cleaned up nicely. Has 640KB RAM and 20MB HD.
Monitor: IBM 5153, a different FB marketplace find, had the cable cut off but worked fine with a new one attached.
Keyboard: eBay, bought as "not working" but worked fine.
Manuals: Also eBay.
Upgrades: eBay sourced EGA card (big improvement even with the CGA monitor), and 3.5" floppy drive.
