Hello once again,

I am looking for a Acer Aspire Tower Desktop PC with Windows 95. This was a computer I had in the late 1990s. I was 7 when my family first bought it. It would bring back memories if I could find one again, but they are super rare. If anyone does have one that they are willing to let go of, please let me know. Thank you!

As a bonus, I have included a picture of this Acer computer I speak of.

This is almost 8 years post, I'm interested in your tower ( assuming that the person is not interested anymore)
 
I have this system but mine is a desk top not a tower. I also have all manuals & floppy disks along with monitor, keyboard, mouse power cords.. same color as tower.
If anyone is interested let me know and I'll post some photos or start a new post.

Made a deal with Charlalala01 today! I hope to have this computer sometime this week. If anyone still has a matching monitor and or the DESKTOP version I'm still looking! Glade this 8-year-old post is still making people happy! Admin, Can you remove my phone number from the prior post? Thanks
 
I had an ACER in the late 90's early 2ks. It was total crap. I got it for free in the box. Acer has always been complete trash.. Only thing worse is emachine who literally destroyed the computer market.

The black desktop is model 500LB and the green is 575LB. They pop up on ebay a couple times per year. The monitors are a lot harder to find.

Acer wasn't that bad. Maybe you are forgetting about Packard Bell...

Actually packard bell wasnt that bad (by comparison)... But then again I am talking about the 386 486 class of PB you could get at SEARS. I had friends with them. Later on I am sure they were on par with the complete Taiwaneseum that is acer. Acer who gobbled up the names packard bell, gateway and others into thier cheap crap plastic borg collective.. Yeah im very familiar with the computers of the 90s and early 2000s...

And Acer, who bought emachine.... If your willing to buy the absolute worst... well that makes you worse than the worst now doesnt it.
 
Standard practice. The competition can't undercut you if you own them.

In the mid 90s Packard Bell got busted for selling "new" computers with used parts. At least with Acer you were buying a new computer.
 
I actually have 1 of the green towers (5133, I believe it is), 2 green desktops (575LB) and 2 of the gray desktops. 1 gray keyboard, 2/3 green keyboards and 2 each monitor, in good condition, all functional. Was going to put some, if not all, up for sale at VCFSW in June of this year. Been trying to find factory images of these systems. Any ideas?
 
I'd be a buyer for one of the green desktops. I just bought one from another member above. If interested you can contact me at 608 207 6932
