Loongson MIPS Box
Loongson very generously donated a MIPS box with “ICT Loongson-3A V0.5 FPU V0.1” CPU, 500gb 7200rpm WD Caviar Blue HDD, 4gb RAM and a power cable with Chinese plug to FFmpeg. Picture of the inside of the box:

no cmos battery? pci slots?? :)

PCI slots are quite normal, this is not a X9001/GAMING.Killer1One sort of motherboard, after all :)
Missing CMOS battery is funny, but I guess they just don’t bother with them since it is dev board or something.
