I went down to the local RE-PC store to see what kind of computer junk they had that I really didn’t need but really wanted and ran across this Indigo2 Impact 10000. I need another Indigo2 like I need a hole in my head but this one had a very rare and desirable Phobos G160 10/100 Ethernet for Indigo2 card in it. They wanted $25 for the whole unit and I didn’t even want to pay that. I asked if they’d take $10 for the card and they gave me the whole machine for that.
I got it home and tore it apart to see what I had and shockingly, I don’t think this things ever been turned on. The top skins were beat up, but the bottom skin was in good shape. There was no dust, everything looked new save a little corrosion and look, I don’t think that CPU fan has ever actually been spun up.

Who buys a $25,000 computer and doesn’t turn it on?
Anyhow, here’s the card:
