High spec Acorn RiscPC with RISC OS 4.39 in desktop case


This is an Acorn RiscPC fitted into a brand new high quality PC desktop case. As you can see from the photos this results in a much more roomy installation than the normal RiscPC case with extremely good accessibility to all components. There is also plenty of room for expansion with two expansion slots for 'podules' and space for additional drives. The power supply is more than twice the size of the normal RiscPC's 103 watt unit.

The motherboard is the latest Series 3 type with 16 bit sound. The processor is an APDL Turbo 287 MHz Strong ARM which is much faster than the original 202 MHz unit and is guaranteed for 1 year. There is 128 MB of main RAM and 2 MB of video RAM (VRAM). The hard drive is 80 GB, and a 'Combo' CD re-writer and DVD drive is fitted. The CD writing software is included. RISC OS 4.39 operating system has been installed and all the appropriate files and applications installed on the hard drive.

An original Acorn keyboard and mouse are included, although these aren't shown in the photos. I will also include an original copy of the Programmers Reference Manual CD.

After the photos were taken a 486 PC card was fitted complete with the necessary PCpro software to enable this to operate.

This is an ideal machine for the Acorn enthusiast who is less than enthusiastic about the cramped and poorly ventilated RiscPC case with it's limited space for additional drives and backup devices. It has been carefully assembled and tested and should give many years of service.

To summerise -
  • Series 3 RiscPC in high quality PC desktop case
  • 287 MHz Strong ARM processor
  • 128 MB of main RAM and 2 MB of VRAM
  • 80 GB hard drive and 1.6 MB floppy drive
  • RISC OS 4.39 operating system installed
  • CD re-writer DVD Combo drive with software
  • 486 PC card and PCpro software
  • Original Acorn keyboard and mouse

Note that although I will ship to Europe or elsewhere this item will be Non Returnable outside the UK. Shipping costs shown are for UK mainland. There may be an additional charge for Northern Ireland, Scottish islands, etc.
