IBM System 3
My home computer circa 1983. IBM System 3 with 96 column card punch/reader, dual 40MB disk drives, and wheelbarrow full of manuals. System was installed in the garage. I had parts of it working but couldn't get the big 40MB disk drives running because they required 3-phase power, which would have to come from a supermarket three blocks away at a cost of $10,000 per utility pole.
