DEAD Voodoo cards - what DO you use them for?

Like the title says - from time to time our precious Voodoo cards go "poof" in a virtual cloud of smoke... Cry

...it's a sad occasion, but it need not be a total loss. Wink

I personally have only lost my V5500 AGP a couple years back (fried due to an AGP slot voltage issue) - but since then I've scavanged parts from it to fix a PCI V5500 (later sold) Cool

And (just this evening) removed 11 of those teeny 10uF 16V caps to re-cap my Linksys router (as you can see, the router is now Voodoo powered - if only in spirit...LOL!) Grin

So there ya' go - add your comments folks! Smiley

Also I'm unrigging the GPU's for my GPU-collection:

I honestly Dont do anything with them. Just box them up and put them in the closet. I definately wont get rid of them.
