Wow! They are pretty uncommon 😀

Wow, i'm sure that not only you'll find nice goodies inside you also get nice AT desktop cases too. Would love me one of them cases.
I started going through them. Didn't find another CL Eagle II VGA like in the previous lot - all the 286 desktops seem to have the same kind of Paradise 8 bit VGA (pending further investigation). On the other hand the badly yellowed desktop apparently sports a 486SX33 VLB Mobo with an ET4000AX and the small tower to the left has an ASUS TX97-E - stuff I've never owned before but am quite interested in.
My plan is to clean all these, replace the CMOS batteries and get them running again if it's within my skills. Then I'll keep some for myself and sell the rest (parts, complete systems or cases).
But before that I need to finish dealing with this lot I bought more than a year ago and only started working on 😵
If you need help with that system on the far right, I'll be happy to take it off your hands. 😀 I don't have a model 60.
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
I didn't get around to posting this until now, but a couple days ago, I bought a Dell Dimension 4600 from someone who no longer had a use for it. It has a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 (non-HT), 2GB of RAM (it had 3GB, but I had to remove some sticks because one of the RAM slots was broken), a 160GB SATA hard drive, an nVidia Geforce 6200 video card with 512MB of memory (didn't know they made GF6200s with that much RAM!), and a SATA DVD-ROM drive which surprisingly works great with this system.
This will be my sandbox/hardware testing system for testing IDE/SATA drives, AGP/PCI cards, DDR1 RAM, ATX power supplies, etc. I'm currently using it to DBAN my spare 320GB SATA hard drive as of this post.

I know of only 5 models with that much RAM. Two from EVGA, one from Gigabyte and two from PNY.

It also came with a generic PS/2 keyboard, a severely-yellowed Microsoft PS/2 Trackball, and the matching software restoration discs.

Be sure to check the capacitors on the motherboard. A lot of Dells from the P4 era (especially the ones that open like a book) were plagued with some of the worst caps out there... leaky, bulging, etc.

SX260-280 and GX260-280. I was doing Dell warranty repair during the great capacitor plague which affected pretty much all OEMs as well as aftermarket manufacturers.

This particular PS/2 tower is actually a model 65 - which I think has a 386SX16. It powers on but then gives these error codes:
From what I've read they are related to the dead Dallas RTC module. Wether I manage to fix it or not, I would have to sell it locally as it's incredibly heavy and bulky 😵
Yep, that's the last screen I remember seeing on our PS/2 model 70. Could kick myself we couldn't be bothered to fix it (that was at the end of the 1990s, when PS/2-MCA was just odd, incompatible and worthless).
Well, somebody posted a boxed (new old stock supposedly) Intel VS440FX Pentium Pro motherboard for $12.50 shipped so I bought it. Now I just need a Pentium Pro CPU.
This board was only tested with the 256k L2 cache CPUs. Anybody know if the 512k or 1MB L2 cache CPUs will work with this board?

Never stopped me from shipping. Luckybob knows this to be true. I shipped him a massive tower a few months back. If the buyer is willing to fork out the shipping cost what difference does it make. There are so many items I would love to buy, but the sellers limit themselves with local pickup only. I just got done shipping a massive system to a museum wrapped in "large bubble" bubble wrap and floating in a sea of shipping peanuts. Arrived in perfect shape. As I learned recently, Greyhound will throw your big item in for shipping as well. Never have done it, but may be worth looking into.

model 65? even better imho. yea, shipping that beast in the US would be around $100. Im still interested, if you are willing. shoot me a pm.

here are some pics from my PS1/pro manual, they detail the error codes maybe it helps to narrow down the issues

According to the manual, it only supports 256K and 512K L2.
I found reference on Ars Technica of a board sold with a 1M chip, but it is not officially supported.
GIYF

Nick pick. I tried 200/1M in lot of all types boards and working fine. Some older boards showing 0 MB cache in bios/post but in operating system CPU-Z showed 1M.
Problem is with support PII Overdrive 333, but my tip is that thiese Intel boards can run it.
