While I was looking through my "motherboard records" word document, which contains records of motherboards I currently own, I noticed something. I have a modest chunk of potato grade/low end boards taking up space.
Here's a list of the low end boards in my collection.
Intel D845HV
Hoxtek F845S
QDI Zillox 9 (P6I440ZX)
QDI LegenX V (P6I440LX)
MSI BX7 MS-6156 (sadly, the 440ZX variant)
All of the boards I listed were pretty much just uniconic budget boards from back in the day. They aren't really ideal for anything. For example, why would anyone do an ultimate slot 1 build or an ultimate windows 9x gaming pc around a 440zx board when something better can be easily obtained?
So, I guess my final question is...
What do you do with low end and/or undesirable motherboards? Things like 440zx boards, 478 with SDRAM, or just really crappy no-name boards?
