When the Altair 8800 came out in January 1975, users could purchase a DIY kit for $397, which consisted of some parts and circuit boards. Users could also purchase assembled Altairs for $498.

Additional parts (such as memory boards) were typically purchased as upgrades in order to make the computer more usable. These upgrades could make the final cost of the computer upwards of $4000.
