Picked up an IBM PS/1 today and I love it! Just need an adlib (or clone) sound card for it.
Very nice system u got in there (not a fan myself of the shitty IBM MCA standarts, such on PS1/ PS2), but the system it is nice one..
Today`s score.. total cost 26 euro (SHITting included)
The parts are very dirty, there is a bit of rust on the Voodoo, will see if i can replace that metal part of the VGA connector. Aside from the rust and dirt all cards are working great, and are fine no broken or missing caps SMDs and stuff, the fans of these GF3 are even spinning fine 🤣... Another thing that catched my attention is how heavy these Chaintech cards are, it appears they weight about as double as regular GF3 card 🤣 just 🤣..... And i have Elsa Gladiac 920 (sadly reference look, not the nice black PCB with red heatsinks..) that card is alot more light, and Palit GEforce 3 TI200 again also more light... So bravoo Chaintech, nice cooler + coloring and overall looks...

That shitty sticket on the back of the Voodoo III pissed me off, as the morons did cover the important 3Dfx logo, i got hard time finding if this is STB systems 3Dfx or it is an STB nVIDIA Riva card (yeah imagine that, once upon a time, i found a STB card looking like a voodoo, and it was shitty nVIDIA Riva..), but managed to spot the small print on the back of the card barely with the 3Dfx on it...
