Exactly! Now I have to find SIS Xabre or Geforce from Triplex… or any other white PCB graphics if there were any other...

Nice LP2065! That's my primary monitor too, which I bought second hand.
My recent 'retro' purchase from 2007, is a Zalman Trimon M220W 22" passive 3D monitor. I didn't actually want the monitor, as I already have the Trimon 19" version, but I've lost the glasses, and buying new ones is expensive and requires shipping from the US or Japan.
I then found a UK seller with a 'broken' M220W, complete with glasses, and box. Haggled down to 25 quid delivered, using the Argos collection option. Impressively they'd retained the original box, and it looked in perfect condition. Even more fortunately, the monitor seemed to work just fine.
Unfortunately at this point I finally understood a disadvantage of a passive 3D monitor - for one that large, I simply can't find a position where the whole image is legibly in 3D perhaps unless it's my primary monitor, and this is very definitely a glossy gaming monitor not exactly ideal for productivity. Looking at it sideways on there's always a bit of the display that doesn't look 3D. Being a 16:10 1680x1050 monitor, it's quite wide horizontally. The 4:3 1280x1024 monitor doesn't suffer in this way.
So, let's play 'swap the VESA mount'. The 19" monitor has the shittiest mount ever (tilt only), but the 22" mount is height, tilt, and swivel. 22" mount goes on 19" monitor, an old 17" monitor with a decent mount goes on the 22" monitor, and the 19" monitor mount goes on the 17" - but with the panel rotated, so it's permanently portrait. Win.
I've also bought some cheap speaker mounts that I'm hoping will work with my Z5500 speakers - they seem to go through the hole left after you remove the mounting bracket so we'll see (try not to remove the mounting bracket, you can't get it back on without glue)

Nice start to the collection! I really like this Presario, haven't seen it before, design is still channeling the older Deskpro design.
Also a nice Shuttle there, see if you can introduce a vent in the case cover near the video card, decent 3D cards can get very hot in that little unit.

That GeForce is Ti4600, so quite powerful for its time... Don't call the build "white power", though! 🤣

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
Those Presarios had proprietary PSUs that are hard to find, just FYI in case you ever need a new PSU well good luck

Luckily it still works just fine, but if it ever dies I would just repair it. 😀
Looks like a mouse, congratulations.

Isnt this a Force Feedback mouse? Cant remember the name tho...

That's an odd one actually: it's BE6-II (Highpoint RAID) with BF6 marking for some reason. Also it's revision 2.0 board with UDMA100 RAID.

Canopus Pure3D LX (sealed). I haven't seen this one sealed before. The seller I bought it from apparently had two of these but sadly I missed the first..I believe the one I missed will end up back in the big market place in not so distant future (albeit for a much higher bin price). Just my two cents 😉
