So what''s your favourite box when it comes to Voodoo's?

Personally I like the new box from the V5 5500 PCI:

Closely followed by the old box design:

And in third place is the old box design from the V5 5500 PCI for the Mac:

I like very much the design of VooDoo3 2000 AGP design :))

1) v4500 agp

3) v4500 mac

Old box or New box? ;D

I've seen only small pictures of VooDoo5 6000 box, are there any quality pics of that box out there?

If I'm not mistaking, there are only concept drawings of the box since the 6000 never went into production.

are those concept drawings available somewhere?

I meant this: (sorry :))

old & new??? AFAIK the 1st box is for the normal pci and the 2nd is for the mac version! or changed 3dfx the box-design 2000? v4 was only selled in 2000 hm? i guess there are 2 versions with 2 different boxes...

Look better, it has a green bit on the top right of the box. In it the words 'For Macintosh' are written ;D

Originally, that picture was going to be on the Voodoo 5 5500 AGP box and the picture that's on the Voodoo 5 box would have been for the 6k

Moreover, the differences between the boxes in this thread are the numbers, i.e. the "5" in the Voodoo 5 5500 PCI pic. The only real difference for this would be regions. The pics where you see more of the man's face and where the "5" is really emphasized is for the americas where as the others were for europe/rest of the world, iirc.

Note, the extra writing on the "international" box, i.e. the other languages...

Once again, a "region" thing.

Ah, so it's not a matter of old vs new but US vs International. Thanks, learned something again ;D

(About inserting images, I know how, I just think about those poor people with 56k modems :P)

well if this is the case, the none american v4500 is my choice ::)

i have thought, that this Box should be the box for the not reatil produced Voodoo5 5000 SGRAM

No, that's this one:

Hey, sorry my post will be a bit delayed to this thread as I've been away. But Lecram25, is right.

There is no old or new boxes. It was a case or US boxes and European boxes. If you noticed on the "old" box as some may claim, you will never find one of these types of boxes with either French, Spanish, or German language on them. ::)

What baffles me is, why have a different design for the two? ??? Why should the US be different from the rest of the products that we get?

Anyway, a bit late to be asking that question now, but the fact remains that we would or will never see a european version of the V5 5k or V5 6k (btw, cheers NitroX infinity, for the high resolution photo of the 5k. I have never seen that box before. That is really something!

I know it may be hard but, does anyone have a high resolution shot of the 6k, as NitroX infinity posted of the 5k?

wow NitroX infinity! where did you got that V5-5000 picture? I found only one picture like that, but it was partitally broken (I'm collecting them).

Yeah, I tried searching the rest of that page, but couldn't get anything!

ftp://213.10.80.171/3dfxPictures/

I got it from this ftp which is from a Dutch guy who collects hi-res pictures of 3dfx stuff.

@janskjaer:
Did you look somewhere around here?

Because that won't work.
I've got a membership at that site  (www.tweakers.net dutch site)

this is my foto-album there in which I keep various pics:
http://www.tweakers.net/gallery/48384/fotoalbum

I did look at that site mayte, yeah.  :-[ Hehe.

I'll have a browse at the links you provided though, cheers.  ;D

*g*

Really nice collection, I need to check it out more often.

I even see some of the High-Res Images I've done in it already, so it's being kept up-to-date for sure :)

whoooo, that's very big collection of 3dfx artwork ( currently downloading  ;D )
(I compiled my collection using 3dfx sites i know + using yahoo and google in image search mode ;D

The box issue does make me wonder about one thing though. Is there an Asian version too?

Two different places of production maybe? I doubt they were all produced in the US/Mexico and shipped out over the world. I'm pretty sure there was a "plant" of some sort in Europe somewhere.

In the US, we don't like to see many different languages on our products. Not to mention that 3dfx had to cater for the whole of Europe (alot of different languages) opposed to the US.

Also notice that the US boxes have more "face" on them. I honestly feel that this other prodution site was given the pics and was not given direct instructions on where to place them and how. Note how the number is distinguished on the US box(es).

Can I tell you that I love you?  ;D :-[

I recently lost my second hdd (120GB) and I had mad 3dfx pics on it. Mainly rampage and rampage in game pics as well as a high res pic of my VoodooTV200, 6k pics, and Volari pics (the voodoo comparisons, size, etc). I honestly didn't think I'd ever find them again. But I went on that FTP and he seems to have a lot of the pics I had.

THANK YOU!

Anyone have an idea on how many different European boxes there are? My V5 5500 AGP has different languages on it than there are on euro-cards posted in this topic.

(Mine has German, Dutch and I think a Scandinavian language on it)

On First place the 3dfx Voodoo3 3500 TV AGP.

On second the 3dfx VoodooMAC 4500 PCI Euro version

On Third the 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP Euro Version.


and here is also a dutch site that I vissit many times:

http://www.3dfx4ever.tk

A dutch 3dfx friend made a site for all 3dfx users.

The languages that are spoken are:

Dutch  :-X
English
Germain.

Everyone is welcome ofcourse  ;)

Friendly Regards,

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Fave Voodoo Box? ??? Hmm, that's a tough one!  ;)

My Top 3 would have to be:

1. Orchid Righteous 3D (It's a nostalgia thing! ;D)

2. 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP (Euro)

3. 3dfx V2 1000 PCI

These are subject to change, depend on how I'm feeling of course!  ;)

1. VoodooMAC 5500PCI  (european Version)
2. Voodoo5 5500
3. Voodoo TV FM
