Epic day today!!! Flea market big score!!!
1. MSI MS-6168 VER:2 - 440ZX / 3dfx VooDoo 3 2000 8MB ONBOARD / CREATIVE ES1373 - It needs repairs and a northbridge heatsink. Easy fixes if the board is still alive. We'll see. I never thought that I'll find one.
2. Gigabyte GA-622-16 REV 1.0 / TNT 2 M64 with TURBO SETTING 😁 - interesting card. 160/160 instead of the stock 125/150.
3. Asus GF256/DDR AGP-V6800DDR/32MB (TVR) I wanted a GF256/DDR and I got one 😁
4. Advanced Gravis Ultrasound ACE V1.1 - I wanted a Gravis and I got one.
5. Celeron 500MHz S370.(less epic but what the hell 😁) - maybe I'll need it some time down the line...who knows. I have fond memories tied to Mendocino.
10 EUR for everything 😁 😁 😁
Older find: Leadtek WinFast GeForce 2 PRO 64MB AGP 2842 PCB REV. B - Pics taken before it has been repaired and restored.
Wonderful lot to find, from my point of view I'd describe that as "jackpot", and probably the lowest price anyone has paid for a GUS in quite a while 😁 It looks like the MS6168 has some bashed traces around the BIOS chip / memory socket, but that might be the water droplets? That's a shame if they are damaged, I really hope you get it working.
I have that same Leadtek GF2 Pro / TI 64MB card - if you have a read of the reviews, the blower type cooling they were aiming for didn't really work out and it's the hottest of all GF2 cards with the stock heatsink. I put some tape over the heatsink fins area so that air has to push over them to get out, which I think helps. Also beware the caps? The first time I powered up mine, one of the big caps in the upper left of the board exploded. It works after those were replaced though.
