Is it a sin to break this seal, or is it a liberation of the machine?

It's the original Box of the mainboard, but a bit in a bad shape. looks like it was not always in a dry environment.
But beside that, everything inside looks fantastic. Every single piece is originally sealed. :-O This was a real steal for just 32€

It's a Micronics Spitfire EX (09-00302-XX) Dual SLOT 1 Mainboard from 1997.

Alright, I am now owning (when received) a brand new and sealed Micronics Spitfire EX (09-00302-XX) Dual Slot 1 Mainboard and two Pentium II 350MHz. Unfortunately the 440LX chipset only support 66MHz FSB CPU's, so my ordered CPUs will only run at ~233MHz, which will be fine for me in the first place. Maybe I can do some overclock or so.
I really hope I have enough large SD Ram lying around to pack it up with the maximum of 1GB.
Pentium II is new enough to run a modern Linux Kernel on it, but I feel like I am more interested in throwing #OpenBSD on it, because I never really hacked around with it yet and it would fit IMHO better to this hardware.
Running a #snac instance on it, would be an idea. I really wonder, how that will perform.
Stay tuned.

@chesheer Actually a #Pentium2 is way too easy as you can still run @dillo and don't need to resort to using #browsh & some #Telnet / #Serial -> #SSH bridge...
