Well if missing ATi Rage Fury MaXX and 3Dfx Voodoo V 5500 AGP, from AD and getting really pissed counts as retro activity....... The local AD for the Voodoo V was for 125 euros, but untested the seller did not even bother to respond to my message, and the AD did gone FFS.... And the Rage MaXX got bad luck there as well, the seller did want to sell, then backed up.... I am really pissed, as i want to complete the ATi collection and i miss some cards ( i want to have all major ATi cards from the very first ATi Wonder EGA to the last HD3850 AGP and HD4670 AGP)...
As for the Voodoo V it is simple, every collector MUST have an Voodoo V 5500 in his collection (dont care really for 5 6000), plus i have very nice dual Tualatin P III 1.4 System that need VV ...

I am consolidating my computers.
I want to be like LGR and just have a few main computers for playing retro games.
These are the ones I am working on.
0) “Made in USA” build , 386-33 ( DOS )
1) Ultimate 486dx4-100 build ( DOS/Win3x )
2) Intel 430tx with Pentium 233mhz. ( Win95 )
3) IBM AMD K6-333 ( Win98 )
4) Mega-Aluminum Monster with AMD K6-lll+ and Voodoo-3000 ( Win98 )
5) Mini Mega-Aluminum build with AMD K6-lll+ and Voodoo-3000 ( Win98 )
6) Intel Pentium lll@933 with Nvidia GeForce 2 ti. ( Win98 )
7) Intel 1.4ghz Tualatin with Voodoo-3000 ( Win98 )
These will be my Main 1990’s computers for games and apps.
DOS/Win3x/Win95/Win98
The more I think about it I might just need 4 or 5 computers.
I would like to get a MIDI Mountain creation like LGR but these devices are hard to find today.
So maybe just ONE or TWO MIDI Modules.
I would like to thank all the retro computer community for helping me better understand and build
Retro computers for DOS game play and best performance.
You people really help me allot over the years.
This is something I have always wanted to do in the 1990’s but never had the time.
Thanks Everyone.
This is nice and all, but why tf you have x2 K6 systems, and x3 systems with Voodoo III 3K.. Will be better to change some stuff like one of the systems to feature Voodoo II SLI instead of V3, and the tualatin one if u have Voodoo V 5500 use that instead. I like to have only 1 per generation, if i have Slot 1 i wont build Slot A, that is waste of space.. Or if i have socket 8 system, i wont have socket 7. Ofc u can do it as u want, but maybe try different platforms and parts, for example instead of x3 S7 systems, use one Socket 8, and replace one of these K6-III with CyriX maybe just for the sake of having something not as common or maybe IDT Win Chip C6.. And maybe use in the early S7 system Rendition Verrite, as the card is really nice and cool, sadly they did die too early, as they was the only real competitor to 3Dfx back then..
Mah systems retro, old, newer (Radical stuff)
