There's a genuine 8088 Compaq "portable" for $40 at a surplus place in Sunnyvale CA. Weighs too much to carry home on my bicycle. I'd tip over if I put it in a saddle bag.
I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

Bicycle? I do it the old fashioned way and carry stuff like that home.

I've taken home desktop computers from work on a bicycle. (And my 5-mile ride's got some pretty steep hills)

Pfft.  I've taken home full server racks on my unicycle in the rain, over twenty miles, all uphill.  With one pedal missing.

Oh yeah? When I was a kid, I lived in a cardboard box in the middle of the Sahara desert and had to walk in the sun 25 hours a day in order to drink from a mud puddle. Oh wait a second--That actually happens!

Oh yeah? I had to walk 100 miles through a sewer, 2 miles through a desert, and 20 miles through a blizzarding snow storm just to get to the shoebox which had my computer.

I've taken 20Kg+ rack servers on busses and trains before. My back didn't exactly love me for it, but I lived.

That's how I got my current server to the data center. Living without a driver's license is usually not as annoying as that.
