Bought this Boston Acoustics BA7800 4.1 speaker set on the Bay, from what I've read it's one of the best sounding 4.1 sets money could buy back in the early 2000s. They are quite large! The sub is about a 15" cube. And they're in very good condition. I'm excited to try them with one of my Windows 98 PCs with a Live! sound card.

and the boxed card...

Something worries me about boxed cards with a remote included.... What is happening to any included AA/AAA batteries in there???

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Usually the batteries, if not a coin cell are in plastic shrink-wrap. Sometimes they are in a zip lock or other bag as well.

I have not seen batteries leaking that have been included separately, even for very old items.

An ebay seller clearing out military excess NOS 7950GT's sent me an offer for $55 plus 12 shipping so I just bought another. It's bulk though so no box art.

I love old Graphics card box art.

Nice collection. Love seeing another GPU Box art enjoyer!
