not a bad way to spend $200 USD. interesting how the seller marked "for parts/not working"..

Finally after crossing the atlantic and being held hostage by customs this box arrived:

ATI Rage Fury MAXX 64MB AGP

Well I guess the seller did that to protect himself against unfounded claims, I don't blame him. But the card is like new, the software is not even open.

And I don't see what price has to do with anything.

Have a nice day

I list EVERYTHING as "or parts/not working". It's the only way a non-business seller can sell anything on epay without taking a 10" marital aid up the rear. And I happen to LIKE that sort of thing!

Yup, only way for a seller to protect himself against scams on Ebay. I've never had a case of the item wasn't working, even though it was advertised as such (excluding obvious cases where the item is sold for parts and it has visible damage).

Great box art and nice find!

(Watch out for the Bogey luckybob on your six 🤣)

ATI know how to do nice boxes , you need the Rage Pro? racing car box now.

I said no more motherboards to myself.. damn it couldn't resist:

(Sellers photos, there were other goodies too, maybe an Athlon Slot A 1000)

We all say no more motherboards, but who can resist a line-up of sexy AGP, PCI and ISA slots 🤣

🤣 These had me at Slot A in red. It was a setup!

Speaking of temptation..

I have a couple rage fury maxx cards, and I don't seek out boxed parts either.

I guess everyone is safe?

Ah I was referring to your marital aid comment but you lucky duck on the cards!

After discovering that my OSSC third-party unit is not that great at above 1024x768 input (ghosting and noise), I ordered an official one from https://videogameperfection.com .

Damn you COVID-19 for making me buy a third-party unit (fast local shipping) rather than an official or Kaico built one !

My Glitchworks Dallas battery replacement came today:

Installed:

Also ordered these because I saw them in another thread... never even knew they existed:

Thanks for the warning, but seems that bob is content atm. so the six is clear, for now.

I am not at all jealous of all those ASUS parts, especially the P5A in box 😳

Awesome finds!

Interesting! My unit could have the same issue. Were you able to characterize the problem (e.g with a test pattern)?

Today I received a boxed and sealed DX4ODPR100 from EvilBay, the seller had 9 of this beauties, snatched the last one @ the nick of time....

Also today arrived in the mail an original copy of Duke Nukem 3D, just to avoid using too much the boxed version.

In the local market and ads, found a nice psu from OCZ and a case from Fractal to make it's home.

The cool thing about this psu is that almost every cap is from reputable brands, like Nippon Chemi and Rubycon, the exception is the main smoothing cap, being a lesser one from Teapo.

I did not use any test patterns yet. The ghosting and noise are almost invisible on my monitor. It is only when I tested the OSSC's output on a Datapath E1S, whith real-time zooming on preview video, that I noticed it and was able to also confirm its presence on my usual monitor . No issues are visible when the Voodoo 3 is directly connected to the monitor .

I could have tested direct VGA capture on the E1S, but the VGA cables I have are too short.

That said, if you are not going to be capturing video at above 1024×768 through the OSSC, this is practically a non issue on a 25" monitor like mine, IMHO . I am, however, too much of a perfectionist to let it slide .

EDIT:
See Re: VGA Capture Thread for some samples .

Lots of nice boxed stuff here lately. I may have contributed to it by selling much of my inventory (and still continuing)... 😁

I almost forgot that I had an addition to the ASUS collection.

ASUS V7100 Pro Geforce 2 mx-400 32MB SDR AGP

Updated collection photo

Have a nice day

I got this Siemens w26361 w10 with a pentium iii 700/256/100 for about nothing along with a ton of other stuff.
Anyone know something about it? It's an OEM so is it worth having? I guess it can't do 133 fsb since it came with that processor.
Chipset is FW82443BX

Actual model is D1107-A (with LAN), and a couple of slightly differing versions of the manual

A26361-D1107-Z120-US.pdf

Thanks a lot 😁
The board is only 66/100mhz fsb and it looks like its autodetects it.

Those Fujitsu Siemens boards were always a favorite of mine. Usually using standard PSU connectors and are capable of using a FS royalty OEM version of Windows XP (though not certain this will work on your particular board) which would be pre-activated when installed on a compatible FS board, so these never needed to be activated.
The FS version of Windows XP was barely bloated if at all.
These boards typically have few options in the BIOS, but I see them as higher quality boards. Their systems were typically paired with an FSP PSU and not some El Cheapo featherweight, so these boards would usually not be subjected to unstable powerrails.

Not much good for overclocking though, but I loved them as these would just work and I prefer stability over overclocking any day 😁

Definitely a keeper in my book (provided it is functioning properly of course).

Thanks, will keep it, or sell it to fund my other projects😅 I want that 133fsb. Thinking the Soyo SY-6VBA133 might be the one 😊

Got some more stuff also ^^ About 2kg of ram, 30 pin, 72pin, SDR and 2 coast modules (for ~50usd). Also a beast of a Nokia 445Xi. Its feels like a ton hauling it up the stairs😂 Unfortunately it got a scratch, im wondering if i will remove the antiglare or not. I think it will stay on for now at least.

I threw away my computer certification books back in early 2005 so I have to buy new ones.
