Haahaaa that is an old MAC PowerPC like a 6300 or 7300 series (added or G3) so NO the actual computer is not worth much, neither is that inkjet printer below it. The gamma scanner and it's interface card are worth a lot but sorry not the computer it is plugged into.

The software is likely node locked, so have fun updating to new hardware.

If it is node locked by a dongle then hardware could easily be replaced or upgraded. If they node locked the hardware then typically you need only move the HD to same or similar hardware.

I didn't see a dongle in the teardown, so it's probably some kind of license manager. They could use the HDD serial, MAC address, ROM specific stuff, who knows? Any Mac fiends want to chime in?

or it was a network dongle on another machine (or they just unplugged it before? ^^)

The caster ran the software and it was functional. He would have been able to calibrate and use it if he had a Cesium source.

I know this is an old thread but I just had to put this on the forum:

An item is worth as least as much as you get for it!

If you put it up for x and someone pays x, it evidently was worth at least x.

So if you consult ebay, do not look for the offers but for the completed sales in the past. There you get an idea what people have paid in the past. And that is an estimate of the value.

You have to consider that shipping is free...

Shame it doesn't have the HPT370A, otherwise I'll consider it.

Looking at that seller, they have a whole of random computer parts for the same price (~$113k USD) including motherboards, RAM, and various CPUs. Even a Noctua cooler. 😅

I wonder if this is a case of automated price setting gone wrong, especially if the wrong currency was selected (i.e. USD instead of Japanese Yen).

Exactly this has to be some mistake. I was thinking mistaking decimals with thousands, but the currency theory is also a good one.

And here we go again with crazy prices on Abit hardware! Please note that the seller had 2 and sold one of them!

eBay recyclers will usually hike those prices high. I dunno what's the deal but it's like they try anything to not sell their stuff so it gets sent to the shredder.

Which is why I'm glad my contact gets them before that last step. It's how I got myself a ST6R most recently... even though I now need to find a way to replace its socket plastics because one of the clips broke. (brittle)

i ended up looking the supplier up and couldn't find it, or the sold one

do you think the price seems suspicious?

For a run of the mill 775 motherboard .. yes.

The IN9 Max isn't exactly run of the mill but its not 1500 USD good, hell its not even 250 USD good so 1500 USD seems a bit odd. (Its a 680i board so its not even a good model of the nvidia boards)
