    Appears to be an IBM Model 70

    Not too special for collecting, but you may find someone to give you $20 or $30 for it.

    It may just have a 386 in it, so that's cool for scrap value!

    Here's a couple bits on it (Yeah Wikipedia, but whatever)

    I say open that bad boy up and let us see whats inside. Im estimating you have around 8 bucks in scrap depending on how big the mobo is. If you decide to gut it, please take some pics. Thanks

    hes got 8 bucks just in boards probably those old mobos are heavy. Careful with the soldered on chips sometimes they will be plain or unmarked and have gold on them.
    Born to think, destine to succeed.

    Hey I have a few of these myself! These older ones are much different than the ones that they have now. More fun to tear down i think. Plus, this was before they started getting creative with how they got the heat sink secured onto the processor.
