They'd have to be ancient.

The PC world has been almost totally SMD for 10 years now.
Looking at an now 8 year old Athlon Thunderbird mobo I have in the
closet,the only parts which aren't SMD are the caps around the socket 7
socket for power supply filtering and the voltage regulators.

You might be bale to find some old ISA slot peripherals. Hamfests
are a good place to look as Hams never throw anything away, even when
they should.

Could have had me an old IBM RS-6000 and all the perifs for $250 bucks
last year.
