Some pins on the Gigabyte B660m are bent as hell, but the other two boards look in good condition, the P55T2P4 too, and it has a PS/2 keyboard connector soldered in.
Also with this are an interesting ISA card, a Geforce 8600GT with a damaged fan, an Asus Sonar sound card, lots of ddr3 and two memory stick adapters for some special Nec laptops.
All untested so far.
The most unusual thing being the ISA card, I made a thread with better pictures here: Identifying an Audio Mpeg1 ISA card
I dont want a lie to you.. today I bought just one Keytronic E06101P1 keyboard for 1€ and one Socket 7 motherboard with K6-2 266 cpu for fistfull of money...
(edited again because somehow TRW mis-identified the board as having an ALi Aladdin IV+, when actually the chip config and BIOS string point to VIA VPX.)

Got this Creative Labs Video Blaster (CT6040) for pretty cheap. Doesn't have the expansion ports but it's still pretty rare. Apparently one of the few graphic cards that supports 2 monitors in Windows 3.11.
I picked up a 486 last week that had one of these in it. Mine had the feature connector cable connected to the VGA card. There appears to be a breakout cable for the input connector that we're both missing. Doesn't look to hard to remake, just need to get the pinouts.

Not normally my thing, (wrong interface 😜) but I "upgraded?" my PCI only Dell Dimensions L1100R from a PCI Ati 9200 , to a PCI FX 5700LE. Mostly I was just looking for better cooling since the case doesn't have good airflow, but I found this cheap boxed 5700LE which seems kinda rare to me, so I couldn't pass it up. At a min, 3DMark99 says its an almost 10% upgrade, we will see if that shows in other tests as well 😁.
Random semi retro hardware ballpark thing.... Grabbed a "Mini Game PC Anniversary Edition" for pocket change, NES famiclone thing. Supposed to have a few hundred games, mix of bootleg and more recent. Not sure if it works yet, but was worth buying to maybe re-shell a Pi or something if I don't end up liking what's in it.
Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
Some motherboards, 1100Mhz Tualeron and a Gorb.
Some bulging caps on the boards here and there but otherwise they're visually in excellent condition. That of course won't mean they work, but considering this cost 5 monetary units in total (1,25€ per thing) and recap will cost 15€ per board, economical damage will be limited in any possible scenario.
