    Need help identifying

    Chaps,
    I just scored a strang one,at last to me. The tower says it's an MMG by hard where house. I can't find anything on Google or Ebay. Coolest things to me are that is has a turbo booster. Has a tube style barrel key lock and a MHz LCD readout. This things so retro. Sticker on back says memory 4mb.

    I know 1st thing your gonna say. " load some dam pics" yea I know. Truth be told I have never understood how to load pics to these threads. I'll try and get a bit better educated. Thanks all.

    Question

    That is a generic shell used by many IBMs and other PC builds.
    What are the numbers off the mother board and processor ?

    "Hard Warehouse" was based in Dallas Texas - they were a distributor. Bob Moris was the service manager in September 1990. In February 1991, they had an office in Nashville TN and sold "Clarion Software" .
    No other business listings exist.

    The motherboard model # will determine value....have sold motherboards anywhere from $20 to $300 depending on model #

    What are the numbers on the processor ?
    The numbers you gave identify it as a Soyo board running a ... 486dx ?

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    486DX sounds very plausible. The Turbos were 386/486 machines mostly. Soyo makes sense- they sold tons of motherboards back then. At best, you're looking at a really nice sale. At worst, if it works, you should still be able to find a home for the motherboard and CPU combo.

    According to Ebay sold listings, if that is a 486dx rig, and it still runs, it could be $60 - $180.

    If it's a duel socket board, it could be worth more.

    That's a twin of the case we built our 486dx33 back in the early 1990s. It was a common computer case back then.

    I'd check the system over and check the power supply, clock battery and ram and see if everything looks good and then see if it will power up and boot. If so, you've got a great system for someone to buy on ebay.
