Found this, a P4 sytem for 1500 dollars, what a deal.

Apparently the company who sells it also carries this oddity which is marked up and rebranded, but not as bad considering the costs of small runs of a board like that.

The motherboard is an industrial mobo for sure, also i see 3 ISA slots on it, if it wasn't the price overkill, i would try to get one of these

FYI these newer boards with ISA slots won't run ISA sound cards even in windows.

"IMPORTANT: This motherboard's BIOS does not support ISA slot IRQ reserved feature. Some applications require that. Double check first please."

That certainly is a sexy case. Or were you pointing out the price? Honestly I don't think it's that bad. That's about what supermicro still charges for the modern versions of that.

EDIT: Also reminds me of NCR styling.

Well, if you're interested from what I can tell the house branded items they have are just rebranded parts from other companies. With some digging you could probably get it for less somewhere else.

What is this thing shipped in, a gold plated box?

Let's not forget the wood screws used to hold the cooler on too.

That's to pay off the Bulgarian mafia for safe export.

Tell the truth, it's the man boobs that has you tempted? 🤣
I thought about buying one for a friend for a gag gift. But 30$ for a mouse pad? No way. It is very tempting but at 30$ I don't think they will sell many.

Some of the seller's other items make me want to quit this planet.

Well I hope you're not referring to the Fetty Missing Eyeball Wap and the Octopus Hat Squid Tentacle Ski Mask.
