Thank you for watching, and a special thank you to Alan "Andrew Dalton" Suger for taking time out of his busy schedule to join us on this series. I'll be taking the MegaPC to "RetCon" expo this weekend so you can try it out for yourselves. A new T2T series will be underway soon. In the meantime if you need to stock up on tools for your own repairs then check out the video description for my curated Amazon store to help with ideas. I hope you enjoyed this one!

That 387 really didn't want to go in the socket.

I shall miss Alan.

I am so glad Alan Sugar accompanied you on all this. He is truly a great help onto these videos.

I've never heard "Packard Bell" and "rock solid" used in the same sentence before.

Awww thanks for the shoutout Neil ... that machine is looking fantastic now it’s all cleaned up and refurbished!! Always happy to help... that maths co-processor didn’t wanna go home :-)

Neil, the stock music you choose always goes great with your videos. It never feels like stock music!

[GameHammerCG]

I’m so pleased with that summary you gave - the Mega-PC may not be a beefy powerhouse but it’s a fantastic little nice machine that you end up adoring. I loved my Mega-PC. I’ll get another one some day.

[MLHA]

I'm really pleased with the effort you've put in to this series. You went way beyond what I was expecting, I thought I went quite far with the MegaPC but you took it to another level. No idea how I'm going to recap mine - far too concerned I'll break a classic.

Can't wait to see what you have upcoming.

Hey. Your videos are absolutely wonderful. Watching your back catalog is one of the highlights of my day. Your channel is the first one I have ever joined. Thanks for the great content, you have made my life just a little bit better.

I have far too many consoles & computers as it is but if i had the room i could see myself spending plenty of time on this bad boy.

You're hired.

I love your Trash to treasure series. I can not get enough of it. And you learn from it as well.

“Our kettles boil faster”. Had me choking on my tea!! A great video, as always.

[pauljennings]

A great update video, I love the inputs from Alan. So funny!

[nickkraitor]

Always great to have Alan's opinion.

[madhattermikey]

watching this video series has been a great journey, thanks for taking us on the ride, and I have laughed at one to many Alan Sugar impressions during this watch through

[BitJay]

It would have been a nice thing to have, but no way my parents would have forked out that much for it. Great video series, I love the care and attention you give each project.

[scorpian]

Great video as always. The Trash to Treasure series is probably my favourite of yours :)

[aitchpea]

Really enjoyed this series, and Alan was an inspired touch. Thanks for sharing!

Tbh this restoration turned up GREAT, I think one of the best restoration projects i've seen in my life. And also one of the most odd hardware as well

Arghhh fly that Falcon 3.0 I want nostalgia to hit my brain and soul ;-)
