Oh please. I spent $350 for my last pentium pro motherboard. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=48043
Granted it's a one-in-a-million board, but still.

Intel PR440FX (BX is a P2 board) is what most people want in a dual PPro board. I had one running for a decade around 2000-2010 as a server (still works but I went with a different machine).
I also have a not so common Micronics W6-LI dual PPro board.
Scrapper love the PPro chips so even if you found the board cheap you will pay some cash for matching CPU's and then you have to deal with finding the heatsinks for them. Finding a complete working machine cheap these days is something to brag about.

Back in the Netware days-- I used to run Netware 4 on a PC Server 365 with Dual PPros. If I remember correctly, it had a daughter card with the CPU's and VR modules. Cool machine. I used to get a kick out the two snakes on the Monitor screen. They got longer as the load on the machine increased.
IBM made a desktop dual PPro machine. I worked on one for a guy who worked at the local university. A year or two later he was done with school and asked if I wanted to buy the machine for $40 (since I had a dual Ppro I passed). His machine has the 1MB cache 200Mhz CPUs (they were black not the gold metal topped ones you normally see).
IBM PC365 I think it was (same as the PC Server 365?).

Those little Zenith TVs are great. I used to have a 13" model, though it didn't get the cool "Space Command" moniker. Does your remote take the ridiculous J size battery too?
Today I snagged some dirt cheap ($5 for the pair) portable TV/radio combo units...these two both have screw type antenna connections and so they can be easily adapted to RF for plugging in other stuff. The GE is from 1984 and the TMK is from 1982, the oldest of these 5 inch B&W portable TVs that I've seen so far.
Nice TV/Radios!
I have a color Emerson from 1986, and it's really nice for what it is (quite heavy for a portable unit though, kinda like the Mac Portable). I tried getting another in really nice condition (on mine, the front plastic window over the CRT has a big crack and partially worn off printing, and it's missing its antenna), but thanks to the incompetence of my local FedEx branch, it's been lost in limbo since last November :very mad: I refuse to ever use FedEx again with anything important, unless I have no other choice.

Since there's no analog OTA TV anymore, what are you going to use them for? Nice little monitors for Apple IIs and such? I bet one of them would go perfectly with a IIc modded for battery operation [
