Well just picked up an old Compaq computer for $5. Has a very interesting motherboard setup. Has an Intel Overdrive 100 chip in it and 24MB EDO ram. Going to probably put 98 on it. It's funny though as it has PS/2 ports for both the mouse and keyboard, yet a couple newer boards I have with socket 7 have an AT port for the keyboard.

That should be a fun set up, 98SE runs pretty well on a good 486

I'm still trying to figure out the cable running from the video card to a port of the motherboard on the back though.
