I have a GeForce 2 GTS and Ultra but also a GF3 ti 200 and 500 so I'm pretty set for nice GPUs from that era and if I need I have both AGP and PCI versions of the MX400 so for me this was more about completing the collection, I guess the only one left is a NV1 but that is strictly a curiosity only type of acquisition and only a reality at a price that doesnt kill my bank or burn my eyes.
Not even sure I could make a use case for an NV1, its really the type of card you buy and put on a shelf or donate to a GPU museum.

Speaking of, I bought another Walkman and this time the WM-FX401 since I've been having poor luck with the WM-F2081 lately (they seem to work fine one day and they run horrible the next day).

The WM-FX401 has the Mega Bass, which the WM-F2081 lacks and it suffers the same plague: belts turning to goo, expanding, or snapping. Once I receive the unit, I'll give it a good cleaning and replace the belt. It's nice to have these old Walkmans that have an integrated radio so if my family and I go to the drive-in movie, we could use the Walkman to tune into the station without having to rely on the car stereo (especially the newer cars these days have the 10 minute period for running accessories, such as the radio).
That's a nice bit of retro kit right there, its a shame that such things have been relegated to the dollar bargain bin of electronics nowadays, I remember when they used to cost both arms and your right leg to own.
10 mins on accessories ...never seen that here in Australia.
