I am wondering if anyone knows the value of something like this ive never seen a cpu quite like it, this guy has about 4 of these up for sale that all look slightly different, obviously its collectors value and not scrap value:

I got this one out of a IBM Mainframe that was built around 2000.

I was gonna bid, but then I saw that the quarter was not included. Complete dealbreaker.
Lol. My low bid was bumped out a couple hours ago.
i have a couple pa-risc cpus but they are nothing like these
That CPU is from an IBM ASA 400 mainframe computer.Quote:

Super computer CPUs are some of the coolest things you can see in computing, money was no object in their design and manufacture. Sadly they get melted for gold content.
looks like one of them is gonna sell over $300
