Well, I caved and got a GX Pro off ebay. It looks like it didn't have an easy life, gonna have to bust out the cleaning supplies:

The auction price was nice, the shipping.. um.. not so much. Oh well. Ha.. in the span of a few months, I've gone from 1 pc, to 4. (The Packard Bell in my sig, a 486 I got off another forum, and this GX Pro)

We have a whole bunch of these back in the testing lab. I don't think we actually use them for much anymore except apps that require the old hardware configurations. Been awhile since I've seen one in service though.

Yeah, I'm sure they're clogging the closets of some old businesses.

 

I read up on them over on vogons, sounds great for what I wanna do. Plenty of ISA/PCI slots free since the ethernet is on the mobo, even the sound too, but I'll be using a sound card. In total there are 5 PCI slots, and 2 ISA slots, but the 2 ISA slots share the PCI, so it can be a mix.

 

The seller though was the slowdown feature, able to turn it from a 200MHz to 8 MHz on the fly :D Hopefully slow enough that I can get Wing Commander 1 working on it.

 

A little wright up about old game friendly boxes (GX Pro included)
