If only [insert title] was as good as its advert (except Windows 8, which is as good as advertised)

Since my plea for sanity was ignored, I've decided to escalate the brouhaha, to wit:

Planning to get one of these :
IMSAI Desktop[^]
The price is steep but it does include a printer. Just a little concerned about the RAM though - don't want to spend that much money and still need to buy RAM.
Anyone here bought one of these recently? If so, opinions please.

A friend of mine used to have one of these, so here goes:
1. The advertisment displays a printer, but it's not listed in the specification.
2. The HDD is a little skimpy by today's standards.
3. Ditto for the memory.
4. Lastly, I recommend buying 4 of these, and running them in parallel so as to get true 32-bit processing.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Excellent advice as always!

Not sure what spec you're referring to, but there is a 132-column dot-matrix printer in the specs listed in that advertisement.

You're right; I missed it.

"28-Amp Power Supply"
scribble.. 28A x 120V = 3360 W ... ECO class A+ !

IMSAIs really were "big iron". Half the chassis was the power supply, a giant transformer and caps the size of beer cans. The transformer, all iron, had to weigh 20 lbs. or more.
But they were reliable. I still have two of them. I used one for embedded development for over 15 years.

That was a bit before my time but being a "hobby electronics engineer" I can imagine - you probably didn't need to turn on the radiator in that room

I would think it is output amperage (thus mainly at 12V)...

Yeah, that probably makes more sense. I just found the other interpretation more entertaining
