Now it's like "Holy freaking crap, there's thousands of bucks in my basement." Though if some ghost of BitWrangler's future had showed up and moaned "fill totes with vooooodoooooos" a few years ago I'd probably have told him to screw off I was tryna sleep. Annnnnd what have I done to sort all that crap out since I've been on here.... well not much, got re-enthused and added to it a bit 🤣
I missed the boat on cheap 3dfx hardware but I did manage to buy out a large lot of PowerVR PCX2 boards from a recycler some time ago. When these because valuable, maybe then I can trade one for a Voodoo 4 or 5. 😀
I have a Voodoo 1, Voodoo 2 (SLI), Banshee, and a PCI and AGP Voodoo 3 3000. But no Voodoo 4 or 5! I am so ashamed to call myself a collector.
Don't worry I dont have a Voodoo 5 or V3 3000, I have a special V3 2000 tho that can clock as high as a 3000, I also dont have a Voodoo Rush or Voodoo 1 but I dont really have a use for either of them. I do have 2 Voodoo 2 12mb, Banshee, Voodoo 3 and a Voodoo 4 but really only use the Voodoo 4 and Voodoo 3 on a regular basis.
If I had known 10 years ago just how expensive 3DFX cards would become I would have snapped up all the ones on eBay for cheap and flipped them now for .. more reasonable prices than I am seeing, I dont mind a tidy profit but extortion is wrong.
