To me, dead unfixable hardware is junk and should be given away. (To a recycling center) Dreamcast, Voodoo1, Xbox, gamepads, a mixer and AGP cards for 30!!! Damn sweet deal.

So, Brostenen, where do *they* reside/hangout, and have you tried contacting *them*? Because I'm not sure *they* read this thread. Nope. I was only trying to prove my point that *they* (funny how *they* have changed "name" to *they* now :lol:) exist, because I have been told so many times that …

That's a nice pile of boards. Hope you can get some to work, as you said it so perfectly. They are hard to come by these day's.

Phil is by far a retro hipster in my book. He is using the stuff he has, and not making any display out of it and bashing how bad the stuff is at the same time. Solely owning the stuff, because it falls under the term: "Retro" or "Vintage". Nor do I think that anyone here on Vogons are such a person …

These prices are the reason I can't make a deal sometimes. The seller looks the stuff up that he had no idea about 2min ago and then comes up with numbers like: twohunnerdshwiftyfeiv and heiv. They are selling for that on ebay. True.... I have had that experience too. Whenever I am telling them to …

What you hate, is people who are buying something that they do not understand, but they try to be cool and hip, and so forth , In fact this "thing", about being "hipsters" and shit. In fact it reminds me in some ways of the whole "80s" "yuppy" trend/stuff. brostenen get off your bourgeois arse, and …

There is a complete ISO file on Vogons drivers too. I can not remember the exact name, though it is a complete package of all the Creative Soundblaster drivers (roughly speaking). It is handy to have that as a burned disc, alongside them two CTCMBBS and SBBASIC.

Never said I hate hipsters, only said that I don't want to sell something to someone that are not using it. I actually started this tread, because some people here did not believe that someone are driving prices up, just because it is "cool" to have some retro equipment for the same reason as having …

Well.... My woman is goth and I am only after the retro-hipster's because they drive prices up, and are hurting this hobby we all have. You know... Why new ones to this hobby can not even get medium quality stuff. Speaking of goth's. They are the most happy ones of all sub cultures. I know. I have a …

Or.... You can go for the G550 model. Faster than G400. Found some cheap ones, especially the one from UK. Shipping might be too much, though if combined are cheaper, then go for it. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xmatrox+g550+dual+head.TRS0&_nkw= …

If money is the thing that holds you back, then go for TNT2 instead of Voodoo3. Just make shure it is a Pro or Ultra. I have had great time working with TNT2-Pro and Ultra's, and it is only NFS-II-SE that I need Voodoo for. That game is so old, that both V1 and V2 can be used. Making TNT2 or GF256 …

what if the person used a translator ? I would feel like kind of a bit cheated. My guess is that the english language is trying to make it's way as being something everyone on earth can understand and speak, so people are more into acceptation rather than reprehension. I am thinking the clash …
