Lost,

I have a few others, and some questions.

I googled board art, IC art, PCBD art etc. Most all of what I came up with was "how to make a PCBD" layout etc.

Here are some pictures of what I have. Maybe you could help me out?

The first to aren’t anything falling into the field. But from then on. A kangaroo?
The compaq... that’s perfection!
It’s a formula/indi car!!

That’s really kool!
As a seasoned collector (I have ones like that) that’s where you start getting bids. $5-$15.
But the best ones are the anti-competition one. When the k5 and k6 cpus proved to out benchmark pentium series chips... a few prototype boards from AMD had true (pointless) etching that spelled out “I 5-9 what?”
The cpu wiki and computer history museum have some images of other cool ones. Like from the graphics card wars of the 90s.
IBM did some bashing in the late 80s and 90s with their RISC architecture chips. One demo chip I’ve seen, when under microscope, has a useless layout like an X through a windows logo. Obviously a mock-up and not a production design but being in house, shows how mad ibm was over OS/2 agreements.
I’ll dig in a bit online to find some of the better, more expensive examples.

The second one, is fairly common. Labyrinth, munch-man (the I’m not pac-man clone), and breakout are seen a lot in the early 90s

The other one is a bit of an internet urban legend that has never been truly debunked, if it was a usable board design or someone’s etch project for art class.
