The top comment is pretty nice:

"He's such a big CPU fan that they'll never overheat."

Impressive! Interesting that he stopped collecting in 2003, at least that's when the latest CPU was from.

Aye I know that they aren't fast but man, there are many CPU's there.
A lot of those, were never available to the public or at least not through the usual channels. The collection must have taken a very long time to put together. :eek:

8085? I didn't know there was an 8085 . . . hmm, basically an updated 8080. Interesting.

Oh he's got IDT Winchips too, how cute.

Wonder how much they sell for nowadays.

I am very curious to find that out as well. Pity it would be close to impossible.
One man's junk is another man's treasure so to speak.
I would bet to the right collector an absolute fortune. I hope it goes up into some Museum for future generations to look back on, even if its just on a loan basis.

Would be worth something if kept in good condition for another hundred years or so. Right now though I think it would only be worth money if he parted his collection out to folks who are looking for specific CPUs to flesh-out their own CPU collections.
