Hi all,



I was building a collection (a museum of my own of sorts) of 3D video cards. The family events and lack of funds are preventing me from completing my collection. I've got a lot of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc video cards. In a couple of cases, I have 2 of the same card. Most of you that have been around a while know that most of these cards sold for $175 to $400 new. If you do some quick math and say each card was originally purchased at an average of $250 per card and multiply that times 13 cards you get $3250!!!!! Specifics are listed below:



1 - PowerVR Series 3 Kyro 3D - 32 meg ram (I believe)

1 - Nvidia Riva 128 - 4 meg ram

2 - Nvidia GForce - (32 meg ram each)

1 - S3 3D Virge - ? meg ram

1 - Rendition Verite V1000 (by Intergraph) - 4 meg ram (rare)

1 - 3DFX - Voodoo 1 - (rare canopus 6 meg version vs most with 4 meg)

2 - 3DFX Voodoo 2's - (12 meg each vs the lower end 8 meg versions and you needed two of them installed in the same computer at once to run 3DFX's famous SLI mode!)

1 - Voodoo Banshee (Diamond) - 16 meg ram

1 - Voodoo 3 3500 TV AGP (with tuner, cables, breakout box) - 16 meg ram

1 - Voodoo 5500 (2- GPU's on one card!) - 64 meg ram

1 - ATI Rage 3D - 4 meg ram?

The Voodoo 1, Rendition Verite and S3 Virge are all 1st version cards (the first 3 avail I believe). Iam the orginal owner of the Rendition V1000, Voodoo 1, one of the Voodoo 2's, Banshee and Riva 128 (bought them when they first came out years ago). I bought the rest of these cards individually. I bought them all as working cards (that's what the different owners told me). So as far as I know, all of these are work well but I have not tested all of them (some I have in the past). Make me a resonable offer for all these beauties. Go here for a pic --> http://i23.ebayimg.com/01/i/03/52/79/be_12_sb.JPG

I'm also selling them on Ebay but will gladly end the auction early for a fellow forum reader.

You don't have to. That's the beauty of it. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Check around, there are people (like me) who have a love of 3D cards and tracking the history on them. Heck, many sites (firingsquad.com, etc) have done many articles on the history of 3D cards. Hey, I like the color blue, you may like pink, but don't slam me for it!

SOMEbody's working from "an alternate location" today. Their kid's screaming bloody murder in the background.

I have no idea how your weak interpretation of an insult is going to improve the minimal chance of you seeling that crap, but hey, whatever floats your boat dude :D
