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.
