- In 1993-94 I worked at the British computer manufacturer ICL in Reading, England. ICL made their own range of higher end PC's and I was a fan of their industrial design.
Now, I finally have my own ICL PC, except... it's a Fujitsu PC. In this video we will look over the PC and see IF it survived shipping and what will be necessary for me to get it to a usable state as a late 90s gaming PC.

I had the Indiana system back in the 90s.
The Indiana, not heard of those before. A black case, kind of similar to the Ergo Pro, yeah, really cool looking machine. You know, ICL had some great stuff back in the 80s as well. I bought a 386 tower, weighed a ton, was a server I think, it had full length ISA cards, each with maybe 512k or 1mb ram on them. Gave it to a friend, who almost immediately sold it for cash, der...
Sadly, this Ergo Pro is currently broken, but Im working on it, so the next video in this series will have to wait until that works out, or does not. Its a VERY hard repair, as the ICL/Fujitsu machines are relatively rare, so no schematics, no BIOS's to download. VERY tricky....
Thermal compound was a late addition, it was quite common back in the days not to use any
Yeah, its funny eh, it seems so automatic now, but I suppose that phased in during the 2000s, as cooling performance became more and more critical.
Great video✌
Thanks for watching!
