And a basis for my "higher-end" pentium 2 class machine. 15€
A ChainTech 6ESA2 motherboard, which has ISA, PCI and AGP slots and has integrated ESS Solo-1 sound card.
I didn't know it before i got it, but it also had one of the most desirable Slot1 celeron - Celeron 300A. Definitely will try to overclock it.

Don't get your hopes up, that board has an i440EX chipset, which - like the i440LX it's based on - theoretically only runs at 66MHz and in practice will rarely clock above 83MHz FSB (and that's a bad speed for PCI...)
My CPUs arrived today:

Some of the P4 and Athlon64 pins are pretty badly mashed, but the rest is in good shape, if sometimes covered in excessive thermal compound (the pic was after an initial clean, but particularly the SoA CPUs are still messy as hell).
And the 'mystery' So370 CPU? It was the P3-650E. Plain old Coppermine, but with some translucent plastic shim around the legs. Doesn't look Intel-original, but it's pretty securely stuck there. Not seen this before. Anyone familiar with these?

Anyway, all I really needed was a SoA test-CPU. I Think at least one of those should have survived (not too sure about the Durons and the Tbred, they have chipped die coreners, but the Palomino and Barton look perfect). Nothing utterly compelling in the rest, but good solid spares the lot of them (if they work). Maybe one day I'll make a Pentium D system if I really have nothing better to do 😉
