My brother and I bought our first PC back in 1982 - as Uni students so it was discounted from $6,000 to $4,500 - for a NEC APC (8088 or 8086 CPU) with 256KB of RAM, DOS 1 and CPM one and two 8" floppy disks. Absolutely no software or documentation was provided we had to wait 6 months for the C compiler and write all our own software - the first being a decent WYSIWYG editor (we only had edlin - which makes notepad look like the bees knees)!
We looked into hard drives - you could buy a 5MB Winchester for another $5,000 - only catch was you had to write your own controller for the drive! Heaviest PC I ever owned - by a very long shot. The drives when they read sounded exactly like metal lathes, but we found out Diskcopy on DOS 1 would copy absolutely any copy protected disk
