Break out your eWaste bins, i'm after a high end PIII system. I'm after a workstation such as the IBM IntelliStation M Pro 6889, or the Dell Precision 420/620, they're dual slot 1/2 systems. I prefer a Precision because I have a period correct laptop already lol

Also looking for parts related to them such as a NVidia Quadro2 video card, Rambus RIMM RAM and SCSI drives.

Located in The Netherlands, but I got a contact in Oregon for stateside stuff.

I have a gateway 6400. Dual pentium III 933. Uses a oem asus cur-dls motherboard. It has two 64 bit pci slots running at 33mhz, as well as some 32 bit pci slots.

I have several IBM 6589s that I purchased new. I still have their original boxes and most (if not all) are in stock condition. These are single PP180 or PP200, but I have collected some parts to make a dual PP220 1MB cache system. There was also an overdrive processor by Evergreen available for these.

Pentium Pro anything is quite valuable these days, lots of CPUs have been scrapped because of the gold content of them and PPro boards in general are rather rare.

Good to know. Yeah, I hated seeing the scrappers getting these by the pound and destroying them. :( It was nuts that pricing a few years ago on these was better for scrap than resale.

I have 2 digital equipment corporation systems, each with one pentium pro for sale. Pretty sure I also have some loose pentium pro processors for sale.

This thread is a blast from the past. My first system I bought out of college was a dual PPro setup with 256MB of ram, 3 9GB SCSI drives, and a CD writer. I think I was about $2800 into it with all the other goodies for it( back in 1996, that was a sh!t pile of money ).
