This was my first PC that I purchased back in September of 1993. It was one of the last IBM PS/1 machines equipped with 486DX or DX2 processor and RAM expandable by 72-pin SIMM sticks. But the biggest difference was the casing. While earlier PS/1s were desktop PCs, Model 2168 was a tower. It had more 3.5" and 5.25" bays (one hard disk bay was hidden over power supply unit), as well as ISA expansion slots present on a special daughterboard. In front, a sliding cover is a characterisitcal part of this machine. The front panel has a power button and volume control, carrying handle was smartly composed into the front side too. This PC was not much popular as there were other, cheaper PC clones with 486 processors. Some versions of them have been sold as IBM PS/1000.
