Found two 775 machines, one with a Pentium D 820 and Quadro FX1300 (PCIE) and the other with a Q9450 and Quadro FX3700. Both with Intel desktop boards and identical full size cases, and full RAM slots, though not likely to the boards' maximum capacities. PSUs are FortuneTec, are they any good? Interesting that they both had Quadros, suggesting some sort of video work maybe? Guess now socket 775 is mainstream trash.

Also picked up an as yet untested 21" LCD and a 34cm Sony TV, both in need of a clean and test
What are the intel board models? Intel motherboards are known for begin very reliable despite lacking some tunning options in most models like overclocking, if you don't care abut overclock, an Intel board is a solid option
About the Quadros, FX 1300 is a Quadro derivate of the Geforce PCX 5950 (PCI-E version of the FX 5950, same NV38 core used) with lower clocks and older DDR memory (same as FX 5900/PCX 5900, also clocked lower), core is underclocked by 125 mhz compared to the PCX 5950 (350 vs 475) and memory is underclocked by 150 mhz compared to the PCX 5900 (275 vs 425 mhz)
Quadro FX 3700 is a derivate of the Geforce 8800 GT (G92 core, 512 MB version) with core underclocked by 100 mhz (FX 3700 500 mhz, 8800 GT 600 mhz), Shader underclocked by 250 mhz (FX 3700 1250 mhz, 8800 GT 1500 mhz) and mem by 100 mhz (FX 3700 800 mhz , 8800 GT 900 mhz), you can try overclocking the Quadro to 8800 GT levels
