Made this deal a week or so back, though only getting to the 1st round of pics today, but considering what I got I'm still pretty stoked!
Since joining the forum I've developed an interest in dual systems and am keen to try some builds in this area (have already got a P2B-DS that I've started plans for). So, I get an email from an occasional contact who knows my interest, telling me he's selling up a lot of his personal spare server board collection and would I be interested - hell yeah 😀
Sadly all the dual Slot 1 boards (my favourite) had gone but he offered me what was left of the dual socket 370 boards plus some processors and loads of PC133R, so here's what I bagged:
Gigabyte GA-6VTXDR-C, complete with 2 x PIII-S 1.4GHz
Asus CUR-DLS (OEM) from a Fujitsu Siemens Primergy B210, complete with 2 x PIII-933MHz Coppermines
Asus TR-DLS, complete with 2 x PIII-S 1.4GHz
IBM eServer xSeries 342 board (ServerWorks ServerSet III HE-SL), complete with 2 x PIII-S 1.4GHz, spare VRM modules and cabling
Only had a chance so far to check out the Gigabyte board so here's the pics (rest of the haul to follow soon)
Found this image online of the board launch at Computex 2001

and now a few of mine

It's a early v1.0 board and although it should take the full 4GB it seems a bit flakey with that much but solid at 3.5GB. Also noted that they got the slikscreen for CPU1 & CPU2 mixed up, oops
