I grabbed, out of a pile of various PC clones being
trashed, a PC's Limited Turbo PC whose serial
number sticker says it was manufactured in Sept.
1986. Could this be one of the machines actually
assembled in Mr. Dells college dorm room?

I suppose it's possible, but if true, I hardly think that's significant.
BTW, does anyone know where and when Gateway 2000 began (and was that its
original name)?

Oooh, interesting. A clone PC with actual collectability value. Please
share what you find.

No, I'm actually quite serious. One of the first machines from
fledgling Dell would be significant in my book, despite the fact that
they are just lame clones.
In this case, a boring machine significant because of the story behind it.
Not the first example of such.
