In reality what you are getting is a 15 $ R&D prototype card (DOA) that paved the way for 128 MB V5 5500 PCI Cards. I think that in itself, makes it a collectors item Cool


Indeed, it would be quite a collector item, a true prototype (only ONE). That's why I want it  Tongue

Cool! You guys had it so fast made that I just noticed it to be completed... Thanks Rottentreats for organising this group buy and thanks friends for stepping in! I guess it would be soon time for another world's first... he-he...
I have nothing against RaverX receiving the killed card after the work is done with it, if all others are OK with that. One question to him: Do you want to get the complete Voodoo5 PCI, or would it be possible to let some parts go to interested contributing perssons? Like one VSA100 GPU for Gamma742, the backplate for Osckhar, etc? I would also want a cooler out of it, if possible, and it would be a pitty not to have at least a part of the good RAM chips for future use on fixing other cards. I could make you a "special" look of the card, to show the punishment it has gone through, with one half that will seem untouched (I will glue the GPU back on its place), with the fan cooler attached and all the RAM chips in place opposing the other half populated with blanks (no GPU, no memory, just the empty spaces on the PCB and the exposed solder points). Now, this is art; 3DFX art! And I imagine, quite a nice display piece... What do you thinck about my ideea?

Komponent, that would be a great look indeed, a card modded "to the death". So, no problem here  Cool

Oops, I read the first status message wrong, it appears the package just arrived in Romania on the 3rd.  Komponent might have to go to the post office to pick up the package if he isn't home for the next attempted delivery...

"We attempted to deliver your item in ROMANIA at 10:48 AM on November 5, 2008. "

Sad

The card is here. Thanks friends! Sorry for my lack of updates those past 2 weeks, but there have been tough times for me. The international crisis is threatening the company where I work; I had to do many, many over-time hours at work; still I may even lose my job; hope things will not go as far... So for the last 2 past weeks I reported nothing new here simply because I had bigger issus on my mind and no time to work on 3DFX cards, please excuse me, friends.
Anyway, I will try tomorow evening to re-start modding. I will keep you in touch.

After a too long time, another finished modded Voodoo5 5500 AGP with 128Mb. The card belongs to RaverX/G1nX and it has passed perfect function tests.

Uh, that was my first V5 5500 card...

I got it half dead, it was all dirty, no fan, it had a tiny black heatsink on a GPU and a V3 heatsink on the other GPU.
I cleaned it, put on some nice coolers and that was it, the first V5500 i ever had.

Nice job Komponent, from one almost dead card there it is a piece of history now  Wink
