My last personal build was a 939 socket. It's been in storage for well a long time.

 

I replaced the CMOS battery and fired it up. It kept turning off during posting and tracked down the problem to a sticking power button so it was simulating a hard power off by holding the power button in. So it goes fine.

 

Spec:

 

A8N-SLI rev 1.02, AMD Opteron 165, 2GB Ram, Lian-Li Black Aluminum Case

 

Is it still useful at all or should it just go in the e-recycling?

Some components will still be useful e.g. chassis and power supply?

Turn into a retro 32bit gaming box and throw on TM for $1 reserve.  :)

I still have mine at the bottom of a cupboard, 4200  cpu 2200 mhz but overclocked to 2400  A8N32-SLI motherboard 2 GB ram and 2x500 HD's ($600 each back then!)

 

Got around 100??? on cinebench r15 they just didnt perform compared to the intels of their time.. comparing it to an old socket 775 E8400 overclocked to 4GHZ (Which gets around 230.)

 

But give it another 5 years or so it will be in the collectable stage

Thanks for all the ideas. I'll definitely keep PSU and case.
Maybe trademe is the best option. Cheers.
