    Coming back to this thread, is there a collector's market for old motherboards? I have some Socket 7's and 462's, among others, but I can't figure out how to test them in more modern equipment. I can ID obvious issues like damaged pins or leaking caps and batteries but it seems like a proper test is required to have some hope of really qualifying them.

    I would think that the old stuff would just be for collector's displays in most cases.
    Copper, brass, and Leather. 3 of my favorite things.

    I have a complete 95 or 96 dell complete desk top I can sell you it all or just the tower for half of what the parts sell for plus shipping then you can test all your stuff out if that helps. You'll also have more parts to sell if you wish too. I forget the exact model but it's a high end gaming PC. Well for its time anyway
