This once was pretty decent 12core Server part for like 1k$. We had like 100 of them in our servers at work. But now: 5 bucks...

Old -> new ATI/AMD GPUs. I spend presumed years of my live gaming on these!

would these be any viable for BOINC nowadays? they go for mad cheap, even if mobos can get kinda expensive.

Now you spoiled my project for the summer holidays

well I actually think they could do something. Maybe not those but the opteron 63xxx parts are fairly modern (Bulldoser, piledriver etc). And go for around 20-30 a pop of 12cores. Or 40-50 for 16. that on a quad mobo = sollid Performance for BOINC. 
but the power consumption and cooling requirements are mad. Also there are no normal heatsinks but only Server stuff. So it will be loud as f. 
my plan is to modify some TR coolers.

This brought back memories of when I was in school in the earlies of 2000, thanks for sharing!

How about a fully functional IBM 5150 with Amdek 310A amber monochrome monitor? Behold the original PC in all its glory, running MS-DOS with 640 kb of memory:

 

 

 

Running the original ROGUE

 

Got it connected to the real internet with native TCP/IP using the mTCP software and a ISA ethernet card. I can post on IRC chats, dabble in BBS channels, and even download files over HTTP. This thing predates the internet and is now online at nearly 40 years old. And typing on that buckling spring IBM Model F is just sublime.
