"the 90 MHz Pentium outguns them all"
Fun how far technology can go, eh?
That $2,500 machine would sell for <$100 today. Sort of why I would advise from spending an obsene amount of money on technology. Since it will be worth little in a decade.

I was building PCs full-time for years before the advent of the P90. I had one for a personal machine (OC'ed to 100MHz... whoohoo). It was actually quite an improvent over the P60@66MHz I used before that...
If you want the really period PC mags, I've still got a whole bunch of the old phone book-sized Computer Shoppers about. I think I've still got one heralding the coming of the then-new i486DX-33's. Touted as burning rubber across the desktop, or some such. In retrospect it does seem most quaint.

Somewhere, burried under a sea of crap, I have a newspaper clip from when scientists thought they had made the breakthrough in room temperature fusion (1988 or 89). On the back of said clip is an add for a "high speed" 16mhz 286 with EGA monitor. Asking price, three grand.

Crap. Just went through the old stuff, and I diddn't keep as much as I thought. I knew I tossed the Nexgen's board, but I guess I tossed the chip as well. I filled a dumpster with all the old crap I cleaned out of my office on the day I left my last serious PC job. I guess I threw away more than I even remembered.
Anyway, here's a pic of a few golden oldies I did find still laying about, including an AMD DX4-120, two K5s, a Cyrix 6x86MX, and a P66. And a few original Thermaltake "Golden Orbs"--the original high-performance PC heatsink.
