Love 'em poorly described Japanese auctions 😀
However someone else must have also noticed the main element there, because 3 bidders took part in the fight, with a nice total number of 33 submitted bids.
Seller's pics attached for everyone's fun and pleasure.

Shiny Triplex Millenium Silver GeForce 4 Ti?

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

I have one of those boards, was never able to find any info either. My board is dead, no boot and I've tried everything. No visible errors.

I have one of those boards in its original box with all the original accessories and the crazy temperature sensing cooler with a circuit board attached. Pretty cool old board!

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.

2GB CF card came, waiting for the CF to IDE adapter.

Try sd card adapter. I have two, it works a treat.

760mp boards are nothing to sneeze at, either.

Sure, but it's not that rare and I would get one much closer (and cheaper). But that Triplex was definitely a game changer.

Keep in mind that CF is native IDE and SD cards are not, so that can cause problems.
Some boards I have needed to have the size configured manually in the bios, one had IDE driver issues in windows and my intel 440lx board refuses to post with an sd adapter connected.

Go this today:

P2DiThXl.jpg

It looks already period correct for early 1999.

Pentium II 450Mhz
256MB memory
9GB IBM ultra wide SCSI - 10.000RPM drive, but head seeking is really loud 🙁
Teac CD-RW
ELSA Synergy 8MB
Creative 64 PCI

21" CRT ELSA ECOMO 21H97 - still has good picture quality
KOSTAR stereo speakers - looks nice and even sound good (for plastic)
IBM keyboard
Logitech mouse
ELSA mousepad

Adding Voodoo2 SLI or Voodoo3 would make it complete - maybe also a better sound card 😉

Requests are also possible... /msg kixs

I prefer this sort of IDE device when testing other parts of the system (like my CPU and graphics cards collections)

See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

Received an AT Slot 1 motherboard + CPU + RAM combination, which turned out to be absolute junk. The CPU is a Celeron 300 of the 0 cache variety, 3 SD-RAM Sticks of 16/64/64MB capacity (16MB SD-RAM, REALLY?), and a Jamicon 643E-AT motherboard with over a dozen swollen Yahey brand capacitors. The CPU will go into collection, SD-RAMs will be discarded, not sure if the AT motherboard is worth recapping. It doesn't look anything special, just a regular LX AT Slot 1 board, I'm thinking of throwing it away.. Any reason to keep it?

I have a few more items in the mail, I'll post the photos later.
