Restoring my old ICL 486 DX2/66 computer - Part 1 - Cleaning it up and first boot in 20 years!

Hi everyone and welcome to another video from Experiencing IT!

In this video I'm going to start restoring my old ICL 486 DX2 computer from 1994. This is a project I had in mind for a long time but I had never found the time for it. Looks like I finally found the time and the reason to do it. So, here it goes and I hope you enjoy this first half, where I'm going to give it a clean, take a look inside and boot it up for the first time in, at least, 20 years! Don't miss it!
