Monotech NuXT v2 Intel/AMD 8088 Retro PC

This is my Monotech PC NuXT v2. I originally purchased the hardware in late 2021/early 2022 and it's been a fun experience.
My old policy when collecting vintage PCs was that the machine had to run Doom. I have since relaxed that restriction.
This one is still a work in progress but here are the specifications:

CPU = AMD 8088 @ 4.77MHz (~9Mhz in turbo)
Math Coprocessor = Intel 8087
Video = Trident TVGA T9000i (integrated)
Memory = 1MB
Sound = TexElec Resound 2 OPL3 (Adlib Clone)

Timestamps:
0:00 Intro
0:13 Inside the case
1:32 Front of case
2:10 Rear of case
2:51 Power on & Boot to MS-DOS
3:42 Paku-Paku (Pac-man clone)
4:10 Sokoban
6:25 EGA Trek
9:44 Windows 3.0
11:25 MS-DOS 6.22
12:07 QBasic / Gorillas.BAS
14:12 One reboot later
14:47 MS-Works
15:27 Outro, Like & Subscribe please

With it, I plan to learn some vintage programming, and maybe add one of those 8-in-one cards with Raspberry Pi zeros to give it ethernet, Wi-Fi and expanded storage. I may eventually finish the Xi 8088 which would be the companion to this machine.
