It's the ALR Revolution 6x6 board. It's a six-way SMP
socket-8 board that required a hell of a power supply
and was a good replacement for a radiator. I remember
several people running FreeBSD on it in the previous
century. Nowadays a single-core processor is probably
much faster and consumes a fraction of the power.
