Paid way too much for this sickly 3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 PCI. The seller listed it "AS-IS" and even mentioned that they had problems with the DVI output and that it would sometimes appear "pink". I also noticed some damage on one of the inductors in the photos, but decided to chance it, since I expected the listing to sell below the average market price.
When I plugged it in, the system would beep on startup like nothing was connected. This is pretty common, due to the age of this equipment, and a few power cycles reformed the capacitors and brought it back to life. However, there was no picture. This is a Mac card, after all, and the seller indicated in the listing that it was pulled from a Mac. So I tried flashing a PC BIOS and... It works!
Everything tested fine in Windows with both the VGA and DVI port. I had no problem syncing with my LCD and didn't have any color issues that the seller had described. Maybe he had a bad cable? I've only ever seen a color shift on a loose VGA cable, never on a DVI cable.
The fans are super crunchy and there are a few missing surface mount capacitors that have been knocked off, but overall I am very happy. The price of these cards is starting to become ridiculous, so I decided to bite the bullet and buy one while I could still afford it. The Voodoo 5 6000 is surely unobtanium for my collection now as it is.
