Seems to be an msi ms-6168 with onboard 3dfx and es1373. Bit of a curio for me, I've never knowingly come across one of these on ebay.

Quite good for a compact retro box maybe.

Have one of these. Not up to much to be honest. 8MB Voodoo3 2000 but with TV out.

I love how folks say it was working when the PS Unit failed, so many time I find that the PS Unit zapped one or more components upon commiting ritual seppuku 😉

I would be sure to test all the components just to make sure of this.

I do recall some P3 boards having the onboard SB but I think in this case it was the rebranded Ensonique PCI card.

No matter where you go, there you are...

Erm... ensoniq audioPCI is a sound blaster pci16-pci128. they bought out ensoniq right after they made that card, and then sold that particular chip and variations as the sound blaster pci series.

IMO the best sound card ever sold by creative labs, seconded by the SB16.

I would stay far away from that listing for the reason that BigBodZod said. When PSU's die, components fry.

From Dodge Garage. That motherboard is well known. There are at least two others that I have seen that have onboard V3 graphics but they were both sold in Asian markets, I think. I saw a picture of one of them on a Russian site, once, but I can't seem to find it now.
