I also have two motherboards of IBM PC 5150 (Rev.3 with Rev.B 256KB RAM) with two CGA cards.

I also don't try to upgrade IBM PC 5150 just like video.
He's not defiling it, he's making it even more beautiful. Doesn't the V20 have support for 186 instructions too? I really want a setup like this lmfao.
Painting the case black and filling it with bright blue LEDs would be defiling it. :P
In this case most of the parts he switched around were already not stock IBM, so no big deal.
It all depends on what you want it for. Sometimes it is useful to use or test against a minimal stock configuration, but other times a maxed out configuration can be more useful. So that is why everyone needs a dozen 5150s.
