$100 for a recap job... I would sooner learn to solder :) For me it's a small price to pay; I'll never be able to learn how to solder, even the basics elude me (I have tried several times in the past, all I end up with is burnt components, burnt circuit boards, separated layers, and cold solder …

If I do rebuild the Pentium 4 back the way it was and add the Voodoo 2 SLI setup again, then placing one of these on the Elite 330U case would add a nice touch as well: 😁 😁 😁 (great, now I can't wipe this silly grin off my face 😊 )

Very nice! I need to get around to finishing and posting my Soyo P4 system. My suggestion if you are keeping the configuration as previously mentioned is to swap a Voodoo2 or two in there for some SLI action ;) I did have a V2 SLI setup in the Pentium 4 build installed and working: http://i.imgur. …

Got word yesterday that my Soyo P4 board is fixed and making its way back home, and now have to find another ATX case for the ASUS CUSL2-C; looks like it's time to bring out the "ugly duckling" Enermax CS-A1QX-02 from storage and get another PSU (maybe a second Seasonic SS400-ET 😁 ).

The nearest Micro Center around here is in Tustin (Orange County, CA) and is about an hour away; been there a few times, nothing stood out. And I already have a Viewsonic VA712 17 inch LCD . As for CRT monitors, I agree they're great for DOS gaming but don't have the room to spare - unless someone …

I'll just quote myself (from this thread ): That's reality, unfortunately. I had to do the same with my P4 Northwood rig - a 2.4GHz CPU, 2gb of DDR-333 ram and 256mb GF6600 AGP video card just didn't cut it by 2013, ended up building my current Core i5 to replace it. And that PC had a fully updated …

This is a good build-- nice selection of parts too. One quick note however regarding the motherboard-- ASUS decided to pull a Creative Labs and have a variety bin of capacitor selections (which is surprising since ASUS generally doesn't do that), near the CPU's regulation you'll see some OST …

Awesome, a review of Heretic! This is one of the few games I only play every now and then, but really enjoy doing so from beginning to end :-D . The ability to fly, look up/down, and have an actual inventory with so many items to choose from really makes the difference for me. One of my favorite …

Some more progress: - Placed the side door fan on the lower grille and set it to take warm air out, now the Voodoo 3 can breathe easier :blush: - Got some round floppy and IDE cables from an old high school buddy with mixed results. The round floppy cables work great, but the IDE round cables appear …

Give the CPU upgrade a test run, if DOTT and Monkey Island work as before then you're set. Have to agree with the Virge video quality and speed at high resolutions, my Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 looks soft and faded above 640x480; granted, the Voodoo 1 does influence video quality as well, but even …

most tests failed to display correctly whether its due to the 3D awesomeness of the Virge or drivers , Im not sure If you're using the MS DX6 drivers, try to lower test settings to 640x480 and double buffer; you'll get better visuals, but your score will drop like a rock. Voodoo 1 score looks …
