I bought the following hardware on shopgoodwill.com for $30.21 after S&H and taxes ($26 + $2.50 S&H and $1.71 taxes):

844326113112624Hawk.JPG

Contents:
5 port USB 2.0 PCI card
56K modem/fax PCI card
3Com FastEthernet PCI card (hard to read the model number)
ATI All-in-wonder 7500 AGP
Some sort of nVidia GPU (markings are too blurry to read)
Sound Blaster 16 CT2230 (CT1747 interface)
Sound Blaster 16 WavEffects CT4170 (poor CQM chip)
Some sort of parallel port ISA card (might be SCSI, will need to look again)

Once I receive all of the cards via FedUp, I will be cleaning off every card, inspecting them, replacing the thermal compound on the GPUs, and take pictures of the card and BGA chips for both the ATI All-in-Wonder and nVidia card of some sort. Then, the fun part begins: testing them in my systems to see if they are functional.

The CT2230 is a good card, I have one.

I/O, I/O,
It's off to disk I go,
With a bit and a byte
And a read and a write,
I/O, I/O

I have one myself at home that has a bracket cosmetic issue that came with my CR-563-B CD-ROM drive. This'll be the second CT2230 in my collection.

Received the package, and the cap along with the solder pads broke off of the AIW 7500 AGP. The mysterious nVidia card is a Gainward TNT2 M64. Second M64 card and with a fan on it. The parallel port card is a SCSI card.
