Last week, we did some repairs to the Varta-damaged 286 system with a DTK PTM-1000 (V2) motherboard:

but it had cracked ceramic capacitors and was behaving kind of buggy. Let's put those caps in and see if we can get the MFM (ST506/412) hard drive working.

Also, @TechAmbr updated the rules to the #cheappcchallenge2023 contest:

So I want to build a system with this $40 combo that I just picked up: AMD FX-8320 with motherboard, 16gb RAM, nVidia GTX1060
