I would like to thank all those who helped me again, we didn't get it working to what i had planned but at least it works. It was supposed to be a Pentium II 450 Mhz. (I thankfully got the V770 to work, pencil erasers are magic)

Odd to see your case having a keyhole. That's something that was more an AT or XT thing. Do you have the key for it? 😜
Your case is typical for the earliest ATX cases, though I was never much of a fan of those tiny floppy holes in the front.

I read something about a card of yours not working properly somewhere, but I don't recall seeing a thread of yours. Cleaning parts is something that is best to simply do mandatorily as this can prevent all kinds of problems.

Whats missing in your collections?

Yeah i thought it was odd seeing the keyhole too. Thankfully i got the case with the key too. Its pretty much unused though. And yes, i guess i have learned more about being sure i clean things more. Never thought of the pencil eraser trick though.

In other threads by the OP, the system was having issues at 100MHz FSB. I don't believe that a cause was fully determined.

Yeah the system will not boot with 100 FSB sadly. It actually is a P2450 unless i was scammed and somebody put a SECCII P2 450 case thing on it. I have a P3 450 waiting for me to go pick it up this should be a good way to test if its the motherboard or not. Another thing i thought about doing was setting to 100 FSB and putting the multiplier down so it goes to 400 Mhz.

The whole P(x)B series by ASUS is actually among the most well documented board series out there, so go out and grab some docs on it.

Also, is that a Kyle Katarn avatar? Because if so, you have some great tastes on Star Wars characters.
