Yikes...

I just bought a motherload of motherboards.

For $135 shipped I'll be getting...

18 (yes, eighteen) Asus TUV4X boards in good condition with no apparent capacitor plague
8 other older Socket 7 boards, some with Pentiums installed

The TUV4X supports Pentium 3 Tualatin-S 1.4Ghz CPUs, 4xAGP Pro, 6 PCI, and up to 1.5GB of PC-133, so aside from being Via-based ( Apollo Pro 133T vs i815) they're about as good as you can get on Socket 370. 😲

I guess the only downside to this model is that you have to modify any heatsink clips that have 3 tabs because of the placement of a component near the CPU socket. Small price to pay I guess...

Nice boards! FYI they almost-certainly have a highly DOS-compatible AC'97 audio system built into the 686B southbridge, so the lack of an ISA slot isn't even a problem. I have yet to find ANY DOS program that refuses to work with that chip & its drivers.

For $7.50 each you did ridiculously well. If you decide you'd rather have 17 than 18 shoot me a PM. 😉

CRT's are 100% out of the question. And there is the question of space,

I just acquired a 15" CRT, plopped it on my desk in place of the LCD and it was just too bulky. It was 17" deep, and as much as I want to use one, I don't have the desk space.

Congrats....
Never had one as they are allways expensive when I see one for sale.
So I am confined to use a Dreamblaster-S1.

Picked up a Dell Dimension 4400 from the thrift store. 99 percent of the time I pass these by (I only have so much room and don't want to fill it with P4s...) but this one has an early pentium 4 and it is interesting to me.

Pentium 4 1.7 GHz (400 MHz/256 KB), 512 MB or 1 GB DDR (havent checked), ATi Rage 128 AGP video, no hdd.

Caps look bad so I'll see if it posts and probably scrap it.

For the 15khz monitor, I have just paid for an RGB-VGA adaptor. (19 Euro including shipping)
It is the second/#2 that are in metal case and it is buffered, just in case I should somehow own a bigbox Amiga in the future.
I really like that it is buffered, and in a metal case. Much like the original Commodore version.
As far as I understand, they are hand build. In my book, it is a big plus. Hand build in Europe. 😜 (Even has a real 23pin plug)
