"You will receive all the components to build a PC Motherboard exactly
as shown here:"

If I didn't already have a couple 5150s (and a nice 5160 I recently
acquired and repaired), I'd consider this board, but $150 will buy
other cool vintage toys so I'm going to pass.

If someone wanted to pay me to do the assembly, that would be kinda
fun.  I can get through several movies soldering that many joints.
