Well today I saved quite a few things from going to the scrappers. No idea on working conditions yet. The guy I got them from buys storage units at auction. He said the unit these came from was somebody who had owned a computer repair store, and had the storage unit for over 10 years. These were all the way in the back so it's quite possible they were in storage since the early 2000s.
Here's the breakdown:
5 Sound Cards: ESS AudioDrive ES1868F, SB16 CT2230, Analog Devices AA1815, Analog Devices AD1845, Media Vision Pro PAR
4 Video Cards: Trident TVGA8900CL-B, Trident TGUI 9680, Diamond Speedstar Pro, WDC Paradise PVGA1A-JK, Diamond Stealth64 Video 2500
2 3.5" Floppy Drives 1 is a Sony the other is a Mitsumi
4 Hard Drives: Quantum Fireball 540MB, Quantum Maverick Prodrive 540MB, Matrox 2.1GB, Matrix 213MB
3 AT PSUs 2 are DVE 200w the other is a Lead Year 150w
8 Motherboards with CPUs:
Asus VX97 with an Intel Mobile Pentium 133 SY028
unknown OPTi Viper motherboard with an Intel Pentium 100 SX963
Biostar 8500URC-A with an Intel Pentium 75 SY005
Chicony CH-491E with a Cyrix CX486 DX40 (Exploded Barrel Battery)
Gigabyte GA-586HX with an Intel Pentium MMX 233 SL27S
PC Chips M919 V3.4B/F with an AMD AM586 X5-133ADW
FIC 486-GAC-2 with an unknown CPU (From what I found this was used in an AT&T Globalyst 510 or 515...and the CPUs seem to have been either an 486SX2 or DX2 most likely...also think it's suffered from barrel battery explosion) LPX without riser
an Unknown Packard Bell motherboard with an OPTI chipset and a soldered i486SX20 with another exploded barrel battery. Also an LPX without riser 🙁
And a whole slew of mixed RAM probably close to 100 pieces. Most are consistent with the time period--30 pin and 72 pin. Looked like a few pieces of SD-RAM and maybe 1 DDR...
He had some other stuff but I had no use for it. He also had 6 or 7 AT cases but unfortunately they had been taken apart at some point. All were missing buttons, most were missing the faceplates or covers. The one that had the face plate and cover was in somewhat rough shape so I didn't think it was worth trying to track down the stuff to finish it.
