Wasn’t sure if the gold finger boards would be considered gold finger cards or something else since they aren’t the traditional computer slotted boards. The very large board I was thinking maybe low telecom? The one with the large gold chip I really wasn’t sure what to do with as the gold chip is soldered in place. Any help is much appreciated!

On all the push style PCBs (4) , make sure to remove the lock in clips on the corners and tap/punch out the steel slides/pins/rivots. These should all go as High Tel, there's (2)

The boards with the Gold cap chips, sell as is, as Gold cap board. You have (2)

The MOBO I'm assuming is a large socket. Send a more clear and visible picture? I'd like to see what's under or what it is, that Alu square.

Make sure to remove the Stainless steel or steel guard that protects and guides all the input cords and connections in the back. It will just pop off or you'll have to unscrew the little nuts/drivers connecting to the VGA/audio/keyboard etcetera

Thanks for the response, appreciate it! The aluminum square has like 16 pins soldered into the board holding it in place, I tried to pull it off but the board began to crack. I will try to cut the pins off and update with a picture what it looks like, there is a board of some kind underneath it

This is what was underneath the aluminum square. There is smaller chips and such underneath the board that is still attached but I cant get it off without the main board trying to break.

I don't think it's bad enough to affect anything but it may so I'll point out, the last two boards show a fair amount of weathering/corrosion or just dirt. If it's just dirt you don't have to worry about it really but corrosion (or if someone tried to use acid to remove material) can affect the board grade dramatically.

Just something to be aware of.

Agree completely, extremely nice boards.
The MOBO looking thing is probably a slot processor board and goes as large socket. I am bothered a little bit by the lack of ram slots, but if the Samsung alpha board was slotted into it then then that explains the lack of ram slots and absolutely verifies that it is at least a large socket.
Too bad the samsung CPU is soldered. It is a double gold cap.
