Ok for cbm and atari yes I'm familiar with most of those. I meant in general. And
specifically where would you go for server related discussions for pII through socket 771?
Every classic/vintage forum seems to adhere to a classic in it's own right (but
perhaps totally valid) definition of obsolete hardware and software. Remember before this
stuff was classic it was overwhelmingly considered to be obsolete junk. Win98/2000/XP has
been moderately collectible for a while. Don't care what category it falls into.
Socket 775 stuff is more or less just obsolete junk. There's a grouping between and
contemporary somewhat with those 2 and that's the early-ish server class, which no one
may _ever_ care much about, because it's comparitively rare (few can relate) and lacks
agp, so less then ideal for gaming. So where do I go for those discussions?
As an aside 2000+\- beige boxes have become pretty collectible, and the larger server
cases like an Inwin A500 has a chassis that slides out. Real nifty. It'll take a full
size ssi-eeb mobo, and standard atx. If someone gets their hands on 1 they'll likely
toss the serverboard and replace it with something more appropriate for gaming.

There are many web forums. Just for CBM, there's lemon 64, vcforum,
atariage (yes, CBM on atariage), denial, Everything 64, and
6502.org
handles a few things. If you can grok German, there's forum64.de
Mailing lists include cbm-hackers.
Apple, TI, Atari all have similar. AtariAge handles all of them
nominally. Retro Hackers also handles multiple.
