This cutie came in the mail today. Phone camera doesn't do justice to how shiny it is. Hopefully when I take out the real camera for the build log it'll capture it much better. All the text on the "memorial" side of the board is quite shiny and reflective, along with the platinum plated heatsink. I …

Played Half-Life and Unreal on my Quantum3D Mercury brick (8 Voodoo 2's in SLI, 2 Voodoo 2 chipsets in SLI on each 200SBi board) Interesting.
