3dfx Voodoo4 4500 PCI (Lego)

Here is my Lego Voodoo4 4500 PCI!

Yes, I know it's ugly but it's even rarer than the rarest 3dfx prototype!

It took me quite some time to build and you can all be sure it's the first and the last time I'm doing something like that!

So, let's see some pictures of this top-secret Voodoo4, made especially by Lego itself for the game Lego Racer:

...

Here we can see the whole card. Notice how big Lego made the VGA socket, surely because the planned to make a hugely huge VGA cable, used to improve image quality (nevertheless, a normal VGA cable works fine). For the rest, the card is just like a normal Voodoo4, with a PCI connector in massive and genuine gold (look how bright it is!).

...

Close-up of the VGA output. I wonder what type of cable they had in mind!

...

Close-up of the fan. It only has four little blades but really keeps the chip cool. It's a nice little fan (platinum ball-bearing).

[Notice that the fan actually rotates! I made it so it can move.]

Well, that's all folks!

The problem is, I don't have black plates, just green and grey ones. Otherwise I would have made a Quantum, don't you worry I got tons of pieces of all kind of colors!

OMFG! This is really Wacko hahaha COOL dude very cool and Original, if there's no 3dfx to make our cards, why not build them your selves! Good and bright thinking !!!

okay let's compare!

Luxkiller65 Legofx Voodoo4 4500 PCI 32MB Rev.A0 0505 Lego Edition:

...

3dfx Interactive Voodoo4 4500 PCI 32MB Rev.A 3700 PC Edition:

...


It does look good I must say, it even shows the 5 PCI bridge chips! But the VGA connector is some what big and you missed some chips also, compared to the original, but the idea is visible.

Okay Your next mission build your own V56K , it will save you cash also Wink oklay ofcourse a real one would be nice also Smiley

A V56K?!

Shocked

Well, as a first experiment, it was kind of not-so-succesful, since many pieces I thought I could use showed up as being useless, but I'll see what I can do.

Might do the work, but I'd rather use one a non-beta card (this looks like one).

Perfect! It'll do the work perfectly!

Actually the V4 looks much more complicate to create. This one, apart from the four fans I'll have to make, is much more straightforward.

Expect it to be "ready" soon!
