Hello everyone,

Like many of us ... I've lurked around for years (yes years) before ... I decided to make an account to post.
I will keep it short, if people are interested I have things to show later. But this winter I was bored, and having the means, tools and skills - I bought about 15 voodoo2 cards in terrible condition, + had my boxes with stuff. And I tried to repair / refurbish them as much as possible close to "perfect".
I did a lot of troubleshooting, I replaced all the tantalum caps (with Kyocera AVX), VGA connectors (Conn Fly), crystal oscillators, SLI connectors (3M) .. and a lot of resistor arrays...ultrasonic cleaned them ... added heat sinks with adhesive double-sided thermal pads ... restored pins, reflowed TMU's and FBI point by point ... upgraded RAM ... basically everything that was in my power to get them to "as new" as possible.

I needed brackets. Lots of them. And ... I wasn't happy with 3d printed ones. I read all the related topics here ... and I studied the keystone parts, I downloaded the datasheets and even scouted Chinese websites. Furthermore, I had no luck in finding exactly the positioning that I needed for the connectors.

Here you can find attached an archive. There you can find brackets for 3dfx Voodoo 2 and 1 - the common ones, 3dfx Voodoo2 - a variation with lower connectors that I have a few of .... and brackets for AWE64 Gold.

I designed them in SolidWorks and all you need is the DXF for cutting. I exported STLs just so you can see them if you have no viewer for dxf.

I made them in Spain at "Laser Boost". They instantly quote online - and it costed me 104 EURO for 30 pieces total. 20 Voodoo2 , 5 AWE and 5 Voodoo with lower connectors. 37 EURO for the first 20, 13 for the other 5 for lower connector, and 13 for 5 AWE brackets + shipping.. I chose Stainless steel 304 - 1mm thick. The screws that you need are here: https://www.tme.eu/en/details/unc4_16/d-sub-a … ssories/ninigi/

I studied the ATX standard and I tried to be as precise as possible. Even the hole at the bottom is in the exact same place as the original.

I will post pictures if people want to see the boards, but today I was bored with bending brackets 😀 and I wanted to share this with you.

Thank you for everything !
Popte.
