I received a gift for Christmas in a small RED Box.
Can you guess what it is ?
Rise mP6 ... or something boring.

Socks!
It's a 1/3 scale model of the original IBM PC in milk chocolate.
The CPU you really wanted, on a keychain.

Yeah, I wish it was a RED Orpheus-II with dream blaster wave table board but
They dont sell these in USA. I had an oppertunity to buy one but
Had difficulty sending the money to Europe so I had to pass.
I hope they can produce more of these and sell in USA.
The Mystery gets Deeper…
The Small RED Box only had a few American Dollars in it but I use the Money to buy
Something BIGGER in the White box.
And in the bigger box were the keys to a car where I drove to a mystery location...

ASUS P5A?
Still looking...
Thought it's socket 7 but looks more like 370. I'd say some hard to find Tualatin board.
Good luck players 😀

Edit: nah the aspect ratio of the photo is throwing me off, it's a full fat ATX board with 6 PCI, 3 DIMM, AGP, socket 370

Hah, I've got more hardware than I know what to do with.
In any case, it took me a while to figure out what it was. Tried going by the partial numbers visible on the sticker, and then went by the colors and slots and found that ASUS board and a listing that had pics of the bottom of the board and it matched.
