And now, the news you (probably weren't particularly) waiting for: I got the cards!
It ended up being way easier than I thought. The club manager stopped me midway through explaining why I wanted the cards, telling me to stuff as much as I could fit in my backpack and that they would appreciate the freed space.
So, this is what I got, from left to right, top to bottom:
Accton EN1666 (ISA) Ethernet card. This will go in my 486.
Compaq Premier Sound (ISA) with an ES1869.
Voodoo3 3000 (AGP) with S-Video out. In less than two months I've gone from having nothing 3DFX at all to one Banshee, one V3 2000 and now two V3 3000s... crazy.
Geforce 2 Ultra (AGP)
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz (PCI)
Cirrus Logic GD5430 (PCI).
Geforce 256 (AGP)
Hercules Thriller 3D (PCI) with a Rendition Verite V2200. Now my Pentium rig can have a proper 3D accelerator.
ATI Rage XL (PCI)
AWE64 CT4520 (ISA) Also put this in my Pentium rig.
They have even more, too, that's free for the taking later. I've almost gotten most of the better cards in their hoard, but they still have a GF2 Ti, Trident Blade and 3DImage cards, several Matrox cards, Nvidia Vanta, and some more that I've forgotten.
Overall I'm super happy I got to save some tech artifacts and will no longer have to pay in body parts on eBay for all of these.
