I received a gift for Christmas in a small RED Box.
Can you guess what it is ?

Rise mP6 ... or something boring.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Yeah, I wish it was a RED Orpheus-II with dream blaster wave table board but
They dont sell these in USA. I had an oppertunity to buy one but
Had difficulty sending the money to Europe so I had to pass.

I hope they can produce more of these and sell in USA.

The Mystery gets Deeper…

The Small RED Box only had a few American Dollars in it but I use the Money to buy
Something BIGGER in the White box.

ASUS P5A?
Still looking...

Thought it's socket 7 but looks more like 370. I'd say some hard to find Tualatin board.
Good luck players 😀
