    Ya apparently this guys son has been tinkering with computers since the early 90's and there was about 10 incomplete towers. On top of that pile of towers is 10 brand new socket 5 motherboards with cpu. I havent pulled the heatsink to see what cpu they have. k5 maybe. Any one had ne experience selling thosea?

    Those 10 motherboards I'd list one at a time, as if it's the only one in the whole wide world, then soon as it sells, list another one ; )
    It aint hard to test stuff like that, even without a case, long as you have a power supply. You can hook everything up loose, laying out on the desk, just use a couple wires with alligator clips to the PS and mobo, floppy etc, for the ground. I used to use a picture of one sprawled out like that for my profile titled it "new build"

    Keep an eye out for 8086, socket 3 and socket 5 motherboards when you are breaking those down. The 8086's will bring $50+ each all day long.

    It's just like hooking one up in the case, only it's laying out on a desk (i'd suggest a wooden one ; ) and use the grounding clips between the major components. The grounds on a motherboard are usually where a screw goes though the board, you can see a wide spot around the hole

    The old type power supplies have the switch built in, newer ones turn on through the mobo, just touch a tiny screwdriver to the power pins and it comes on, then remove the screwdriver, only takes a quick touch

    Socket 5 would be ceramic Pentium, K5, or black fiber Pentium MMX.

    I know how to ID a socket 5. Sounded like 8086 was a certain kind of socket 5 mb.

    Its easy to identify the old 8086 motherboards, there is no cpu socket on them. All you will see is ic chips. Need to look at the numbers on the larger ic chips. They will say intel and will say 8086. or 8087 or 8088 on them.
