1989, I was 11 and my dad brought home a 1986 IBM 286 from his job, they got brand new machines so they let him have it. All steel case that weighed at least 50lbs, orange monochrome monitor, 5 1/4" drive, 5 mhz (or was it 10, too long ago

) processor, DOS 3.2...oh yeah...it's sitting in a closet at my parent's house, and it still worked last time I checked.

Best thing about it was the Model M "clicky" keyboard that came with it, which I am STILL USING TO THIS DAY.
