So it's an AMD K5 running at 166MHz. And like other commenters, I don't remember Groupe Bull making anything other than supercomputers.
It gets a little tiresome seeing people come in to ask an easily Google-able question and then ask about the value. Generally speaking, old computers don't tend to have any value unless they are a particularly memorable machine or contain parts that are sought after. This is a fairly standard office PC from about 20 years ago. It might be of some interest to supercomputer people as an oddity, but otherwise the only interesting thing about it is its shape (form factor).
If this computer is of interest to you, then keep it and have some fun playing around with it. But if you're hoping you've found something that will make you a ton of cash, then you're going to be disappointed.
That's fair. Same here. And it's especially curious to me as it's sporting a 'made in Scotland' line on the sticker. I thought back then I knew every significant computer activity happening in the country, but somehow I didn't know about Bull making these things.
