I have quite a few if you want one.
Let me know approx what generation of pc you want, I have from 486 through to Pentium 3.
You can have it for postage.
Probably cheaper to pack up just the m/board and any cards rather than the full case and p/s.

Thanks Guys
    So many questions  ^&^. I was hoping this would be simple I really have no idea what type of Processor lol.

  I think it runs windows 98 if that helps ill see if I can find out any details of the PC needed to be honest I've never even seen a PC with this type of slot lol

What ISA card do you need to run?
The card you need to run will come with drivers for a particular operating system.
If you need to run Windows XP then I would suggest a P3 or maybe a early model P4 (some oddball P4 boards MAY have ISA slots).
If the drivers are for Windows 95/98 then any P3 will be fine.
Suggest you go for XP though because Win98 is a total pig and although Win95C is better than Win98 drivers for the other peripherals can be hard to find.

Let me know all the parts you need
Do you need a complete running system (m/board, CPU, ram, video) or do you only need a board to get yours going?
I don't have any slot1 boards but I have a few Socket 370 boards with CPU's here.
Let me know exactly what you need.
