At $1695 in 1989, the
Inflation Calculator, puts the equivalent price in todays deflated money at $3576.
Dude, $3500 will buy a crapload of computing power today. I spent considerably less on the desktop I built last year with 16 cores, and 32GB of ram.

Prices have risen but in 2019 I built this for low-cost under $400 (OS not included). I since added 16GB more RAM and a 512GB NVME. Thank God I could.

I spent around $3,200.00 for myfirst second computer. An 8 bit monster running at a blazingly fast 4.77 MHz. Two 360K DSDD 5.25” floppies. Amber composite monitor. In today’s dollars that’s $9,200.61
