Hi to all,
Today I got some spare time and I went to the local flea market, just to look around, and I found some interesting stuff:
geforce2_mx400_pci.jpg
A PNY Geforce2 MX400 PCI 64 Mb SDR PCI. I need to replace a capacitor nearby the GPU, otherwise it looks ok.

A second PCI video card, a PowerColor Radeon 9200SE R92P-C3S with 128 Mb. This one has two broken capacitors nearby the GPU, also one is missing from the upper left corner. From the back of the card it's also missing a small SMD cap, the one with C120 marking from the upper side.
I hope I can repair at least one of them, I really need a PCI video card like these, I have a Compaq DeskPro EN and a Dell Optiplex GX200 without AGP... Anyway, I paid a little more than 4 Euros for both of the cards.

Hercules 3D Prophet II MX 64 Mb. I only bought this card, because it came bundled with the one below...

Roland SCB-7. This was a really nice surprise! For this two cards I paid a little more than 2 Euros! Now I need to find a good sound card to pair it with this board. For now, I have just a Creative CT2900, a few ESS and Yamaha sound cards... Any suggestions?
So, I've had a really fruitful day! I spent like 9 Euros for all of these cards(+ 2 more coolers for skt370/sktA), now I hope to have some spare time these days to test the Roland board and repair the two PCI graphics cards...
