Just opened my old pc. From first looks, is there something missing??

One thing noone has mentioned (that I can see), is that on those old computers, they have a built in anti sag card support at the back of the slot-in cards. The old slot-in cards were so long, that they had to support them or they would sag. This is relevant today, because nearly all high end gpu are getting so long that we now have an aftermarket demand for supports for them. Just goes to show that those early computer manufacturers knew something that got dropped in the name of economy

Looks like that old motherboard does not have built on video, so that is probably missing the video card that used to be in one of those ISA slots.

Video card is clearly seen in the second photo, the rightmost card is the video card. It is likely a CGA card, EGA is unlikely. The SMD chip is the CRTC controller chip.

I wouldn't say the image was clear, but you are right. It happens to be one of these Yamaha V6355 chipset video cards that I had to do some digging to find.

Good find. There are bunch of tose VIP stamped CGA cards out there, I have one NOS in box, but it is not the model shown in this picture. There are also very similar SMD CRTCs made by other companies on many cards.

That CRTC chip and ViP were the revealing features to me. It also isn’t EGA card, because these short later EGA cards tend to have very different layout and more memory chips.

There was one more ISA card, that's why back cover is missing.
