@mac84tv sure, i would love to see this being part of a proper old computer and not scrapped for switches or something, so sure, if you want it, let's talk about shipping!

I like this computer, it's my "bridge" and imaging PC, i run a 32gb SD card with 98/XP and debian 6, it's a nice tool and it's small, probably with an agp card it would run tons of games, it has a pentium 4 or something from that era
