Title: "Unicomp Customizer 104 Beige" NOS
Post by: nowsharing on Sat, 20 June 2009, 09:29:45

:mod:
This is a decent deal, depending on how the bidding plays out. A like-new (opened for testing?) Customizer 104. Currently at $6.04. Seller claims Unicomp no longer sells the customizer in beige?

Cons: Expensive shipping & no international love.

Yeah, the black Customizer has a kind of 90's Chevy SUV look going on though; unfinished around the edges. It's probably a bad time to market anything to car dealers. I hope they make it through the next few years...Unicomp that is. When GM killed the Fiero, they lost this customer :)

I ended up buying this and swapping the keys with my black Customizer, as I don't like the metallic gray keys at all. The keys and board needed a little bit of cleaning but overall it was in pretty nice shape.

I always wondered what that combination would look like. It would probably be better if all the keys were all-white, like this. (http://www.old-computers.com/MUSEUM/photos/IBM_6150_System_1.jpg)

Great, I want one of those computers now. I've been trying to cut back.
