I have plastic trays and small cardboard boxes. Slot CPU's on one bigger plastic box. Then i have some non-functional CPU's which i store on one cardboard box. Old ones are important to stay good condition.

I mainly collect early or mid90's pcs (prefer non-major brands, old compaq and digital are ok though, and of course AST :), 80's home computers (msx, commodore, atari etc...) and cpu's. It's not essential if they work or not, I just like how they look :) I have about 260 different kind of cpu's …

thanks carlostex, that's it. Googled it and it's really Midiman. Took it because it looked intresting even though sticker missing from eeprom. It has been storaged in antistatic bag and dark cellar. But it doesn't matter to me if it works or not, just cool to have one 😉

Thanks Splinter 😀 And Lukeno94, i'm very happy about those sticks. They're very useful i think. There was problem with psu:s both of those servers so there's a slight chance that there are some damaged goods but i have to test them first to be sure. Hope they're okay 😀

Mobo looks like a PC Chips M507, which happens to be one of their infamous fake cache motherboards... That is, it features no cache at all despite what the BIOS claims and what the two soldered on chips on the top right corner of the board with "WRITE BACK" labels on them state. At least they were …

There's also parallerport built on graphics card. There's also super I/O-card on another ISA-slot and on that card is paraller and serialports. …
