a very cool piece of retro-tech which includes a graphics card equipped with both a Voodoo 3 3500 chip and a PowerVR PCX2 chip

All I found is this forum thread:

It's cool, but I shudder to think how much it would cost.
Unboxing from OCAU member mwd:
Well I shudder when I see current prices of 3DFX hardware now so I'm guessing this would be a double shudder?
I'm glad I have my old hardware from decades ago.

Oh, oops!
Hey guys, that is my video, let me know if you have any questions about it.
For cost PM me as the maker doesn't want to have it too public (for his own reasons).
The card is great and I'm working on a full review.

He's got his own facebook page, where he release info and availability of many his cards. All based on 3DFx chips and quite unique. Number of cards are very limited as they are mostly handmade and price equals this. I will never have one unless i win lottery, but like his works as he's doing maxed out cards with features that never been made.

Still cheaper than most Nvidia cards now 😂
450 is actually pretty reasonable considering how rare both cards are now. Still, way too much for me.
Wow I would of thought it would of been alot more expensive than that.
Impressive piece of work for a price that some of us even are willing to pay for it. But it is way above anything I would consider to pay for any piece of retro hardware.
