I am really only trying to get my investment back, if possible. The starting price is a loss, but highest acceptable loss that I can afford to incur (if that makes sense). The hard work was the fun part as I enjoy working on computers. It was a blast to build and a lot of satisfaction when completed.

I had a great time when VDX came over to my place to see it. We spent the better part of the day together talking 3dfx. Now it pretty much just sits there waiting to be boxed up and shipped out. I hope to get some excitement out the the auction process. Right now it's kind of slow. It will make a fine addition to someones collection. I am proud to have once owned it. Maybe I can build a AAlchemy next Grin

Reply #49 - 27.02.05 at 22:33:21 did just that, I wonder if I still have that much enthusiasm with 3dfx by the time I reach where you are. Time just has a way to change a person drastically

My first 3dfx card was a 4 MB Diamond Monster card that a purchase in the fall of 96. It was installed in my New Dell Dimension 133MHz 16 MB Win95 to compliment my 2 MB Number 9 card. I invited 2 of my best friends over to see Descent 2 (D2Voodoo Patched) and GLQuake. They were so amazed that they left my house together and went straight to the computer store and bought the last 2 they had. We all went to V2 and V3 together but I went V5 alone. They moved on, one to Radeon and the other to Nvidia. I am still an active 3dfx legacy gamer with my 100SB 4440 and my 200SBi 8440. Hoping to some day own a V5 6K to play Descent 3 FSAA x 4. That's my favorite game. It looked great 4 X on the V5 5500 but got a little choppy in battle and I had to back it down to 2 X to be playable. My collecting differs from most as I don't have that many cards but each card is in it's respective computer 8)

Descent 3 won't run on the Mercury Cry

I still would want to see a descent4 or so, I mis that title, even if there was a Descent4 Doom3 and the rest would of been nowhere

Descent4 Invasion would of been the name. Just hope we shall see a Descent game soon, FSAA x8 hehe sure looks nice even on a 6800 but FSAA x6 on my M18 aka MR9800 with an 8 piped 110Mil transistored R420 VPU, beats the FSAA x8 of NV but 3dfx FSAA is still the best overall I must assume Wink

My first card was a 4 MB Diamond Monster which I still have installed in one of the two machines in front of me (KVM switchable). I will never forget switching from software rendered DOS Quake to GLQuake in Windows. You could feel revolution in the air!

What I like the most is today because of ebay I can actually own some of the Q3D cards that I only dreamed of owning in the past. I never thought I would ever own a 100SB 4440 or a 200SBi and now I am the proud owner of both. After I sell the Mercury System, I hope to aquire V5 6000. Because of ebay and some friends I have made here at FalconFly-Central, it's more than a dream but a possiblility and hopefully a reality.

Gee, I hope it picks up Undecided

I listed it on ebay instead of a private deal to not only get a little excitement but also to give everyone interested a chance at it Wink

The last thing I want to hear is my wife saying "I told you so Tongue
