COMPAQ PRESARIO 150 (Model 444)

Late 90s. Corporate beige everywhere. And you have Compaq making fancy little multi-media monitors.

The speakers suck and she aint special for having them. Honestly… yeah. She’s good. Not great. This sits right in the annoying middle of being a sleeper and landfill garbage. Not junk just a mediocre little tube.

Sun-faded shell, government surplus vibe, probably sat on a desk running CAD, dispatch software, or paperwork for 10 straight years. I got this tube from a local police department.

Technical thangs.. mild corner pull, slight barrel nothing insane, center is stable. Ok and livable geometry. Used but not exhausted from being alive.

5.9 Solid mid tier PC tube.
