Got delivery today 😀
First out IBM PS2 Model 55SX

I actually didn't think the IBM would show up. Paid 2 weeks ago and the seller never contacted me or so. I emailed after one week asking when he would ship. He answered that he was sick and was gonna ship it asap when he got better. That's when I checked his feedback. Tons of negative on not delivered, broken and late. I was gonna give it one more week before acting, then yesterday my phone pinged and it said that DHL had recieved the package and today it got here. Seems undamaged but reeks of tobacco so I put it in the basement for now. 😵
And second, a socket 4 motherboard, sold as "untested" aka broken.

And sure enough, someone has tried to pry the socket of with a screwdriver 😳

But a quick "axehack" with thin strands of copper and a steady (well) hand later

Yaay, so now I have another socket 4 motherboard.
