What to do with i960?

So I went to a scrapyard today but unfortunately they don't really "sell" stuff. Either way the guy showed me a i960 (pretty sure its from 1984!) and said I could keep it. I don't really have a motherboard for that, and I don't think its worth buying one since the CPU runs anywhere from 10-100 MHz. I was hoping you guys had some ideas about what to do with it? (besides selling) I was thinking maybe a necklace?

Here are the pictures, also anyone have an idea on why the the "e" in "intel" isn't dipped down like in other i960's?

 

Thank you!

frame it and such. like the holy grail. 

 

anyway if you do get more intel cpus that have contact pads instead of pins, make a cpu key chain
