You can also get the gutted version of this at Package2You for $18.

I kinda like the Compaq 233MMX Barebone System for $10.90 and the IBM Pentium Pro 200 Barebone System for $15.00.

Uh, the motherboard is not proprietary. The 300GLs were either Micro-ATX or NLX. From your description you were dealing with NLX motherboard based computers. NLX was a replacement standard for LPX. Neither one really caught on except with some OEMs. An ebay search turns up 159 matches for NLX in Computers and Electronics. Including a ASUS socket 370 motherboard due to close in a few minutes that at $1 right now... (I think I hear gears turning in some other ATers heads in the distance).

It's been more than a year since I have seen one of these so it could have been an NLX motherboard. It might as well be proprietary though since it did not really catch on. This is not a motherboard you can use in a standard modern day PC ATX style case. You seem so sure it's not proprietary. Do you have this model to look at and verify what type of motherboard it actually has? That might be helpful. I just wanted to make sure folks who were interested in this PC knew what they might be getting.

CompGeeks also has some Dell Optiplex GX1 systems for a few dollars more ($71-$74). Just scroll down through this LIST. I have a couple of these and they are nice and stable.

It is NLX... their mention of "Two ISA / Three PCI slots (1 ISA / 1 PCI shared) on a riser card" pretty much guarantees it. This can't be moved to a std. ATX case. Here's another Pic of front.

I'd rather have the Optiplex system... some of them even had aluminum chassis, though I don't remember which models.

thanks. i have some relatives who have their small business software in DOS. they have no use for anything over 66MHz. these would be perfect for them.
