Ridiculous isn't it what we spent in those days.
My dad got his ATT 6300 through work (ATT) Nice thing about it was
the integrated graphics and monitor it came with.
I kept that computer for a long time. Eventually upgraded to a 486SX.
Then started building all of my own.

My wife was working for a company that had ported its database to the IBM
PC.
So we got a loan from the credit union and bought a PC for $5,000.
It had:
- 10 MB HD (but we saved money by adding one to a PC, not by buying an XT)
- 640K of RAM (maxed out, and more than $1000 of the price was bumping it
up from 64(128?) K)
- Ergonomically superior "orange on black" monitor with Hercules graphics
card to do graphics, like pie charts and such.
