    My 'King of Boards' best board I had

    So, this board, which is currently on its way to Ewasted along with a bunch of other stuff, is the best board that I have. Some of you may have seen my post http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/elect...de-boards.html but I ran out of room. So here are some pictures all of the same board.

    Literally 85% of this boards surface if covered in gold plating, add to that all of the pins, connectors, cpu slots, etc.... Unfortunately the pictures don't show its gold off enough.

    Picture of the top






    Picture of the back





    Various Close-ups:















    I have no idea where it came from. The board weighs 6.8 lbs

    Sweet, looks awesome.
    I'll top that with a 1/2 eaten snickers bar.
    Wish you knew where it came from.

    That board came out of a mainframe, which is basically a huge high powered server.

    Just for clarity, it weighs 6 pounds 8 ounces, which is 6.5 pounds. Don't want you getting upset when the weight comes back on it.

    LOVE that board! And LOVE it's weight! Please let us know what it fetches.

    Yeah, keeping the worm in is the tough part, it's like the diamond in the ruff yah know? Not having the worm in the apple is like not having a bandaid when you get a papercut, it just sucks.
