Default Looking for an old IBM 8086 (puter)

I'm looking for an old IBM 8086 computer, preferably with most parts still
working, if anyone has any tips on where I can get my hands on one.
I know, why do I want an old piece of crap like that ?
It's mostly a sentimental thing, it was my first computer way back when.
(It was not new, but it was my first "real" computer)
But, I also want to use it to teach some kids how great they have it now,
with the progression of computers.
I still have all my old windows 3 and dos 5 software from back then.
That old box had a 40MB hard drive, 4 megs of ram and a 2 meg vid card,
along with a 5 1/4" floppy drive, hooked up to a monochrome monitor.
I remember how excited I was when I upgraded to a 286 with a color screen.
