Unmolested Mercury units with BLACK brick, Viper 550 8 meg primary adapter, 9 gig Maxtor IDE drive in cradle with dual 450 mhz Pentiums with 512 megs of ram running NT4SP6. Did I mention there is two of them?

I'm sure they have- Who knows how long they were kicking around Quantum3D's facility in Florida! Odds are since they were assembled in 1999 based on the motherboard date of 2/99

I'll have to examine them both close and check all the dates.

Here in Holland I don't know where to find that kinda stuff. Totally dependent on what comes up on ebay and sites like that

Location only helps when it comes to shipping, trust me! I wished I lived in the same area as Quantum3D/3dfx so I could troll through all the second hand computer stores and surplus outlets!

Was missing half the ram, 4 fans, case grill and some wiring had been cut. I had most of the pieces aside from one fan which I just grabbed off ebay and finished loading the hard drive last night.
