1: I got a ton of old software from my grandparents.

2: I used my grandpas old PC, some bought parts, and some parts I had to build a legacy gaming rig. (Still have to get a permanent OS set up. Plus I blew out the PSU fuse while testing the fan mod I did and haven't gotten a new one yet.)

3: Today I got an IBM 380XD. Missing HDD and my 80GB doesn't seem to work.

 

Pics maybe later because I'm a lazy fuck.

I've got the Ti 486 DX 100, and a version of that VGA card with ISA and PCI.

Oh come on, they managed to fit 6 PCI slots on your dual s370 motherboard?

Having a second look it appears that you have a server grade motherboard (mine is enthusiast grade), and that bottom slot seems to be the older variant of the PCI slot-with a higher operating voltage. (Almost perfected my dual socket rig-I'm setting it up as a small server. Though I need HDD larger than 20GB for a decent Raid 0+1 array.)

You nailed it, this board had a SCSI raid card in that slot :D Thanks and good to know ;)

The fact that the motherboard has a rather rare for its age built in ethernet port is a big clue as to the original use. That and I've got motherboards that use the older PCI slots. I'm still not sure however as to whether I should swap the white 1992 Chinon FDD in my main rig for the 1993 beige Chinon FDD in my dual s370 rig. Either way they both look good against black.
