ATX socket 7 systems and boards are getting increasingly rare, so I'd pick this up if you haven't already (and hopefully post internals photos later? 😀).
ATX and Cyrix, especially, seems like an unusual pairing.
Even more unusual, it seems to be running Windows 2000, has an Intel 430TX chipset, and is equipped with 196MB of SDRAM! I see unpopulated SIMM slots as well. What an odd board. 😀 It looks a lot like an ASUS TX97-XE or some variant, but I'm not sure.
They have four custom build computers (and an old Packard Bell that I'm really interested in that they haven't dug out of storage yet).
One of the other systems they have has an MSI K8T Neo Socket 754 VIA K8T800 board, an FX 5600XT (neutered model but probably good for 9x games), running Windows 98 and appears to have a PCI sound card and a (for some reason non functional) essolo.com line executing in the autoexec. Strange combination, as the board has integrated HD audio.
Wow... now that you mention it, one of the other systems is a custom "Micron Electronics" system running Win2K Pro with an Intel AN430TX ATX board and a Pentium 200MMX with all the cards removed (except the modem!). But it has Integrated ATI graphics and sound which is *OH HOLY CRAP*... I can't make out the details in the photos, but pictures of this board online show this as one of those Yamaha OPL3 + OPL4 wavetable motherboards, and I can see chips in both those locations in the blurry photo I have. SWEET. This is getting more interesting now. 😉
The other system is an AT system, Intel chipset, Pentium 133 (P54C), ESS 1868 ISA, PCI video, 48MB RAM in SIMMs, and a rather neat looking mid sized "Quantex" tower. Fairly modern looking front and back (with a built in PS2 mouse port), but has the big one-piece cover like most AT towers. Looks like it had Windows 95 but doesn't seem to boot.
This person took a TON of pictures, which is awesome. I just wish I had room and time to deal with all of this stuff. I need to sell some computers. 😮
Now for some blitting from the back buffer.
