Wow! Long time since I've heard of AST. Nice clean machine.
Re: AST Bravo MS 5166
I remember when white boxes like this were common in every business, school, home and college.
Running Win3.1 and maybe Novell etc.
When a 15" 1,024 x 768 brand name CRT was luxury.

When you had a multisync monitor, you knew you had it good.

I dreamed of incredible tubes like the NEC 5FG/6FG.
I had a Phillips 17" CRT and a SGI 17" CRT as a dual screen display.
2 x 1,280 x 1,024 felt like the future. You did sit like 2 feet back from the wall though.
It wasnt until 2005 with the Dell 2405 that all that died.

I have an NEC XP17 Multisync monitor that's sitting in the basement. I think it is from late 1994 and it still works fine, but is super heavy.

Re: AST Bravo MS 5166
I did! Thanks.
It's pretty fun to play around with. The build quality on it is also quite high... kinda like ThinkPads.
