i still have my old 8800GT, it has a massive after market cooler on it though. I revived it by baking it in an oven long ago lol, was still working when i upgraded to this 7850

Keullo-e · May 17, 2014

The dual HD5870 Vapor-X runs nicely! Now let's put the GTX470 to my #2 rig and let's hope the PSU doesn't die..

Backfire · May 17, 2014

I got 2 "new" video-cards and one motherboard. I paid 2€ for the Matrox Millennium MGA-MIL/2BI + the 6MB VRAM expansion I was looking for.

The motherbord is a MSI MS-K7N2 Delta2 Platinum. It's not the rarest collector item around, but it has the nforce II ultra400 - chipset and it's the "Platinum"- editon, which has a black, or lets say "dark" pcb. I hadn't this one in my collction yet, and you can't do much wrong for 1€.

The second video-card was a little more expensive, but I was always looking for a affordable Geforce3 Ti500, and this Asus V8200 T5/Deluxe 64M was mine for just 8.99€. Normally they go from 25 - 40€, so I'm pretty happy with the price. It's just the naked card, but I couldn't expect anymore.

xBruce88x · May 18, 2014

nice collection there. that msi board looks a lot like an abit nf7-s in terms of layout. also, a little extra info about that gpu.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/magnificent,342-4.html

nice Geforce3 you found there! and 3d glasses too! (support for it anyway)

you should track down the 3d glasses and give it a try. "ASUS VR-100G"

The NF7-S and the K7N2 Delta have both the nforce II Ultra400- chipset, so the layout is nearly the same.

Keullo-e · May 18, 2014

Backfire: I myself like those MSI Platinum mobos veeeeery much! Nice piece to your collection :toast:

Doc41 · May 18, 2014

The digital VRM section. One of the first boards with a digital VRM.

Actually found it at a yardsale for $5! It's replacing the mobo in my shitty little home server
