Not 1991 with those specs!My first PC cost me £600 for a 12Mhz 80286 with 512MB of RAM, 40GB hard drive and Hercules mono monitor. Would have been about 1991! PC's not only get cheaper but faster.
I remember when I was at Dell in 1990. We built the PCs that we would use at our desk. The motherboard could only take 16MB of RAM (and that was a really high spec system - only got away with it as I picked the parts myself from the stores ) I got a Hard Drive from a Friend of mine where I used to work. It was a semi-prototype ... 5.25" full height - 190MB (thats MB , not GB) and would have cost £190 trade.
Yours could have been a 512kB system (that was pretty standard for a '286) and a 40MB Hard Drive? that sounds about right for 1991
