Wow, I wish I had a mill and lathe growing up!

I didn't realise there were AGP-to-PCI converter cards. Anyone have any experience with those?

They came from Japan. You can't get them anymore. Not many were sold outside Japan.

Yikes, I was about to say something about putting the old dog down, but this is some amazing work!

Hmmm somehow I already seen this some time ago, but it wasn't on the nVidia forums I don't think.

Not a bad job, this is what I do for a living pretty much, except I program extrusion dies.

It sure looks like a pure labour of love, for the 3dfx. No mistaking the craftmanship there, but it is an overkill I think. I would prefer to do it on a, say ATI X850XTX or ATI 1950XTX or the FX series of nVidia cards - the stock coolers are quite noisy. And also perhaps building something like that for a 4870X2.
