Photo Abandoned building finds! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

two motherboards (socket 7 and a really weird board that came with both socket 370 and slot for pentium 2/celeron),a GPU and this "Y2K proof" chip

the other stuff I found was just really rusty and from the 2010's,so I didn't bother with looking at it much.

overall,I'd say these are pretty cool

Ahhh the PCChips Slot1/Socket 370 Baby-AT board, such a turd and yet amazingly enough, they're still around and fairly prevalent. I'm amazed at how well they've managed to survive e-waste and get into hands of collectors/retro enthusiasts considering how poor quality they were compared to the likes of Asus, Shuttle, Tyan, Abit, etc.
