    Rare HP Motherboard?

    Could someone provide me with more info on the board I have in the picture? It is an HP board, but seems to a have a very significant amount of gold on it. Does anyone know what this board is called or it's value?

    Google there's the place to start ; ) use any visible numbers you can find, and any other info you have in your search terms. Also try vintage computer forums. good luck

    I'm guessing it's not a computer motherboard--or any computer board at all....It is not very densely populated with electronics and has some sizeable resistors close to where you are holding it. Both kind of suggest it is for something else.

    I have never seen anything like that in a pc, server or printer. I have seen similar boards in high end radio equipment. Post some more pictures and maybe someone can help.

    Looks like it might be from an signal generator.
