Late posting in this thread I know.  I think these projects are very interesting.  Yes similar things have been done in the past, but this is taking it to a new level. (plus, it's always more fun doing something yourself)

Great job trevormacro!   Cool  I look forward to reading on and seeing your projects progress.  This type of stuff reminds me of the old 3dfx days, when people modded things and tried to get as much performance as possible. 


On a side note:
I personally haven't had as much time to have fun with 3dfx in the last several months, being engaged and dealing with work/life is time consuming enough as it is.  I am slowly getting out of 3dfx and collecting. (have been for some time)  I have everything I want in terms of 3dfx items, and intend on keeping my last V6K. (yes the fully functional virgin - http://rottentreats.com/last.jpg)

Which brings me to this topic.  Let me create a scenario, two people want an item, one person is willing to pay more.  Gee, I wonder who the seller would sell the item to... I don't care how much you "love" 3dfx, but I can't think of ANY seller who would turn down an offer that is much higher than another.  To those who cry about Trev buying up all the cards, shut up and save your money and buy one yourself. (if you can find one)  There are many out there, and for the right price are for sale, the trick is to know where to look and who to ask.  Look at me, I could have sold one of my cards to Trev, but instead I sold that one to Varus because I think he is a worthwhile collector who deserved the card.  The others I sold to Trev because no one was near his offer. 

A 3700A is NOT rare, to anyone who says this is simply incorrect.  Three of them have passed through my hands, and I am no one special with no special connections.  I find it funny how no one brought up this "over collector" argument when people like  Omega_Supreme, Gary, or Oscar starting having 6+ V6Ks.  Seriously, for those people who think Trev is destroying the chances of you getting a V6K, first of all grow up, then save up and then buy a card.  Or never find one again and whine more because you didn't buy one when you potentially could have.

...

Lastly, for those who say a V6K is at tops only worth $800, you literally have a mental condition.  The one person who says that even crumbled to a "v6k black hole" aka Murfisor, when he sold his card for double said "v6k value".  Hypocrite of his own "anti capitalism campaign".  His force must have been weak during those times lol, stronger then ever now Cheesy

Don't say grow up to me: you don't know me nor my reasons. I've my 6K but I think that all this is ethically wrong. 1000€ is not that affordable price and now is triplicated thanks to who has the right amount. Who are you to know our economical potential? You are just another presumptuous.
He has ten 6K but consider that he wants more. Eleven? Twelve? Twenty? How much more? The chance for the most of us is to have one, not ten and not for 3000€.

First of all, I will say whatever I want, to whoever I want

Secondly, this has never been about what is affordable or not, it's supply/demand and who is willing to pay the most. Period.  Go find another rare item and tell me how it is any different.  My first 3700A was $2,600 (€1,900) and my two others were $1,900.  (€1,400)  It wasn't easy but I was able to afford these cards.

If you can't find a card, or are willing to pay the price, the term around my neck of the woods is "tough shit."  It would be nice if everyone could get a V6K for a decent price, don't get me wrong, I am all for that. However that is not reality, nor will it ever be again. 

It's rare, and worth more money than some people are willing (or able) to pay.  Sorry to break the bad news.

Anyways, back to the meat of this topic.  Great work on the project again Trev, I look forward to see where this goes.  Smiley

Then perhaps you should find another hobby.

You want to know crazy?

I built a Ghostbusters Proton Pack for Halloween- Replicas can sell for $2000-$4000 for a decent one and a original sold for over $15,000 US just 5 years ago.

Mind you a REPLICA that was never used in the movie, been built by someone who had nothing to do with the studio or movie sells with ease for over $2000 without breaking a sweat.

Which is neither here nor there.

Its called supply and demand. If the price is too high, sooner or later those that have the items will reduce the price to move them.

Wishing the price reduced so its at a level you think is fair isn't how it works.

Ya, but I guess you spent several time to find parts, buy them, build the replica. And time is still money nowadays. If the replica is accurate, I think that will be preferred to those which won't.

Almost everything was sourced from a local hardware store with the most expensive part being an $18 circuit board for the rotating lights.

Time yes I had a few weekends and weeknights invested, parts? Maybe $100-$150 tops.

If you wanted to pay me $2000 for it, I'd be more than happy to take it.

I'm good at building and fixing things, that is a talent of mine.

Only because I think that probably for a fan or collector, that proton pack seems to worth the money, it doesn't mean I intend  buy it Wink

But thank you for the thought.

If one day I ever wanted a proton pack, I will try the fun to build one by myself, since it seems I am skilled as well at building/repairing things.

Hi at all,

The modding continue :

...

...

...

...

...

6016 marks in 3dmark2001se :

...


Finally fans are fitted in the card.

The card runs so well to 200MHz, but for runing over 200MHz, it depends from heat room.

Card worked during some minutes to 203MHz in 3DMark2001se.
