So you may have seen my other system thread; "P4 Rambus system", about a first gen P4 S423 at 1.4Ghz on a P4T with a Rage6 Radeon. That machine is all about nostalgia as it carries some parts I always wanted when I was still a kid and some parts I actually owned back then.
But I could do with some more *bling* 😎
Soooo I scored a neat Gen2 setup and added some flavors 😁
The case is again an oldskool all aluminium Cooler Master, this time the magnificent Wave Master in the limited NVidia edition spec. You might remember this one from: an older spec thread "Mean Green", but I cancelled that one (mainly because of the death of my beloved Canopus GF3)
Inside the GEN2:
* MSI 850 Pro5 board, S478
* 2x 256MB Blue rimms
* A P4 1.9Ghz
* SB Live 5.1
But the real jewels are the MSI GF3 Ti500 Pro-VTG card and the Japanese Sugoi card. I found the GF3 locally, boxed in excellent condition. Missing where the driver/game cd's and the VGA pass-through cable but for the rest everything was present and in top shape. So to try out the 3D glasses I'll grab one of my V2 pass-through cables to feed the daughter board.
The Sugoi card was part of a package deal I did on Taobao, actually the same package that carried that Canopus X21.
I poppped in an 80GB HD and a silver bezel LG optical. It is currently running WinXP SP3 and a fresh install of Q3 shows a promising 150+ fps timedemo in 1024*768*32 😈
