The 1994 model came with a copy of MS-DOS, and was Windows 3.1-ready. It came with an Intel i486SX and 96MB of memory. Optionally, a fixed disk could be included. The PC also came with a Model M-style keyboard and a couple of blank diskettes, and a CRT monitor. It had a 3 1/2 inch floppy diskette drive. This PC can be seen in detail on the map turrontechpc1994 on MCGalaxy With Cheese.

The 1994 TurronTech PC was the last model released before TurronTech began bundling PCs with TurronOS instead of DOS.

The 2018 model shipped with TurronOS and a bespoke BIOS based on Coreboot. It came with a keyboard, mouse, and a choice of either a large, CRT-esque monitor or a more compact flatscreen. The PC had an Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 depending on the buyer's choice; the CPU could also be upgraded. It could have either 4, 8, 16, or 32 gigabytes of memory. The PC could have an SSD, an HDD, or both. This PC makes appearances on MCGalaxy With Cheese, and Furry Ferry from which it originated.

A version of this PC was sold in white with UEFI instead of Coreboot, it had Windows 10.
