I was looking at ssd prices and out of curiosity I went to see how pc prices compared in the 90's. The Deskpro 5/60M, considered high end, but NOT the highest end, costing $9800 in 1993, or nearly $22000 in 2025 dollars. This New York Times article from 1993 walks us through setting up and using one, which was hilarious in an antiquated kinda way

So I had a rough year, lost some people close to me very suddenly, not a great time. I love PC's and decided to do some dumb retail therapy. Is the mobo expensive? Yup. Does it do anything a $300 mobi won't do? Not really. Does it have a stupid name? Absolutely. But I really liked how it looked, and rebuilding my system around it was a great distraction.
