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.

Best regards
