Not so old but definitely interesting piece of hardware - especially in this conditio (foil on stickers, never opened accesories etc).
AOpen AX4B-533 Tube - the first mobo with integrated tupe amplifier.

Cool, This is the kind of stuff I like too.

Got a couple AMD K6-3 450mhz CPU's for my Super Socket 7 builds.

finally i found an ibm dhea drive to my 1997q3 config (that was the biggest hdd).

but a big plus - it comes with a p3 in a nice authentic case and an abit bx6. is the case familiar to somebody?

That's an amazing computer, man. I've never seen that case before, but, it does compliment the setup that's in there. Check the caps on the board before firing it up and replace them (if necessary).

thx, i dont plan to keep it in this form 😀 i have a nicer p3 build. and this is a problem, because i really like the case 😁

my actual p3 rig:
Asus P3B-F rev 1.04
Intel Pentium III 700B
Toshiba PC100 SDRAM 8ns 64M x2
Asus V6600 Pure 32M AGP
Diamond Monster 3D II 12M PCI
Creative Sound Blaster AWE32 CT3910 rev 01 ISA
Gravis Ultrasound Plug & Play 1.0 8M ISA
Creative Sound Blaster Live! CT4620 PCI
IBM Deskstar 34GXP DPTA-372730 27G IDE
HP E118405 4x4x32x CD-RW IDE
In Win IW-A500

i have 3 another suitable candidates:
1998
Asus P2B rev 1.10
Intel Pentium II 450
Diamond Viper V550 16M AGP
Diamond Monster Sound MX300 PCI

or

1999
Asus P5A rev 1.03
AMD K6 III 450
3Dfx Voodoo3 3000 16M AGP
Diamond Monster Sound MX300 PCI

maybe
2000
FIC KC19+ Intel 820
Intel Pentium III 1000EB SL4BS
Samsung PC800 RDRAM 128M 2x
Asus AGP-V7700 TVR 32M AGP NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS
Diamond Monster Sound MX300 PCI

The Deskstar 8, nice. Those were very high-tech and expensive in '97 when they were brand new.

the top drives are always rare. i checked it - it doesnt have any bad sector, but the bearing is very noisy.
it was also quite hard to find a 34gxp 27g drive (the 34g version is too big for many bioses from 99), same issue. but this is typical at the ibm/hitachi drives after 10+ years.

That thing is a work of art! Great pics too, thanks for sharing.

At last first industrial chassis arrived with 4 slot backplane and a pca-6751 @ 266 mmx/256mb men and 512mb compact flash sbc.
I’m happy that it did have a holder for a floppy drive hidden behind a panel.

Nice, I have a 6751 too and a 6-slot backplane to go with it. I should get something like that.

Any chance you could stuff an AWE64 with a SIMMConn in there?

Sadly i don’t have awe 64 😉 but it’s also depending on if fan is needed or not, without the fan holder there is more space the top picture is with fan holder and the other one without.

I'm curious about this case, what is the model number and what would be a good place to purchase one of these? 😕

I see these pop up on eBay every once in a while. Price generally seems to be pretty low for what they are.

Here is a similar one. I have seen some about the same size go for a lot cheaper.

Sadly I don’t know the brand because I bought a Eaton clutter hammer sbc computer and I think they removed the real brand from the box.

Recently found this board. Does anyone knows what is it? Some kind of industrial board?

Yep, it's an industrial SBC designed to go into a backplane (such as the one a few posts above).

386SX by the look of it, with some onboard I/O (floppy, serial, parallell) and a socket for an 80387SX FPU.

+1 for sbc.

also... TAKE THE BATTERY OFF NOW.

Oh yes those ER3S batteries are evil. I lost a tray-loader iMac G3 because of one.

finally! i looked for a good condition cdrom from 94 to my dx4 rig since two years - it was harder to find, than most of the desirable hardware from this age.
incredible, it is 24 years old, but without discoloration. just for the compare - the case below it, slightly discolored (from 95-96).

Ordered an interesting bundle today:

- PC Chips M321 motherboard rev 2.6;
- TX486DLC CPU with J38700DX SuperMath copro;

- Aztech Sound Galaxy Pro 16 II (I think);

- some Trident VGA card;

- some sort of ISA NIC card.

- some noname multi I/O

The main thing is the motherboard, of course. I decided that I want a dedicated 386 build after all, but it needs to use an Intel 386DX33 CPU, because it's THE 386 chip for me. I have the CPU and the FPU, but finding a motherboard for them turned out to be tricky. I also wanted to have L2 cache.

For some reason, most 386 boards I could find in Russia were cheap later models with surface-mounted AMD 386DX40 chips or 386SX ones. Some still had a CPU socket or simply a jumper for setting an FSB, but AFAIK those can get issues with "external" CPUs.

I know PC Chips gets a bad rep, but it's probably the most popular "true" 386 board I could find. So I just picked the one in the best condition and with most stuff bundled.

The plan is to equip the board with my Acumos AVGA2 card, a SoundBlaster Pro 2 and an MPU controller for MT-32.

That J38700DX is very uncommon. One might even say rare. I have two (Rev A and Rev B, paid $75 for the second one).
