Road trip report
25.09.07 at 07:02:10

Ok so on way up north i stopped by San jose to see if there was any 3dfx related pictures to take, the old 3dfx address there is now a church so off to the other side of town to Quantum3d.

Ive arrived in 3dfx style drab (ty gamma, ouch 235lbs fit in your old shirt lol)

The signs were sorta small i thought but i was so happy to be there

No cars in site but i tried the door anyways

a couple shots thru the front door

I got a couple more pic's but not sure their legal to post showing some set-up work and no i didnt go anywhere near their trash to find discarded items, a sign of getting old and not wanting to get in trouble lol

If these photo isnt allowed for some reason feel free to delete ???

Hey exxe, do you remember what the photo's looked like cause soe ppl have gotten the texas NEW building confused with the old strip center building in San Jose, the San Jose building in just a single story building, the Texas Building is that big multi story building with the big signs.http://www.falconfly-central.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=general;action=displa...
we drove right up to it in parking lot and the sign was for a church which is common here in california to turn bussiness strip mall buildings into churches. i guess i shoulda taken a picture but it wasnt to interesting.

maybe you can reach GAt for the pic's, i'd love to see those, i just went to front of building so maybe around back there's an old sign or something.

Thanks Gary, I'd like to post the other 2 pic's but not sure if its ok, one is of a big cabinet ready to go in a crate other is of a rack mount in process of construction, since i took em thru window is that ok to post or not do you think?

@BFG3Dfx - great pics man!

Now I know why you are called BFG, you must work out or something - you look like one of those wrestlers...
(although it could be because you are wearing the small T-shirt from @Gamma742...LOL!)

It would have been good if you took shots of those framed posters, like the one for the Obsidian 2-X Series...

Kewl anyways!
