I have a really hard time trying to find stuff locally, so I usually pay more for shipping alone than some of the finds in here :( local thrift stores seem to only sell clothes and decorations and barely any electronics at all and if they do than only newer "useful" computers, seems like most of …

Also bought a 9800 Pro 128Mb for $65. This is my third attempt to get a working 9800 Pro, this one had a screenshot to go with the tested and working description so I hope its not just a random screen. If this one doesn't work either I may give up trying to get a 9800 Pro. I want a 9800 Pro too, …

I'm not sure whether/how much you could get for one of those. I did buy one of ebay a while back so it is possible to sell them. I wouldn't be looking to sell them. Probably just give them away to someone who could use one. We'll see. Probably will skip it. A nice, but not too useful hercules …

That looks like a server board to me. And the slot next to the riser board is possibly a Level 2 cache or something thereof? Do you see a P/N number on that boar or a serial number? The SD-RAM slots are the server graded ones and require the server graded SD-RAM. I had a Dell PowerEdge 6300 server …
