Quote:

Your post was entirely aimed at starting this rant of yours! It was on that basis that stemmed this whole thing! READ YOUR FIRST POST! Wink

I could do that, but you should get used to the fact I can't do other things for you. Understanding comes to mind...

Quote:

dborca, you're doing it again! What the hell are you going on about? Stop talking rubbish and making a fool of yourself! Speak sensibly man! Roll Eyes

Anyone else, help us out (Not that you would be able to, this guy's lost the plot! Grin

)

Okay, slowly. You seem to think you have invented the wheel, the habit of walking, and some language expressions. I told you, you should've asked help earlier.

Quote:

Who is talking about denial? ??? What are you going on about? I said, get a bird. Do you mean you are denying yourself that? ??? I don't know. I think this is a ploy because you don't have anything decent to come back at me to. Roll Eyes

Maybe I need a thesaurus sometimes, but you should go on lecithin. I showed no denial. Because I don't have to.

Quote:

Spare a thought for poor dborca, he's lost his mind and the power of rational thought! Roll Eyes

I ask him a question or take the p*ss out of him, and he talks jibber-jabber hoping that it may throw me. You've gone. I can't answer to incoherent sh*t. Roll Eyes

I decided to further ignore your self-indulgent phrases. That's all.

Quote:

So you choose to ignore posts that prove you wrong, typical. I can't imagine how else you would accept defeat. Roll Eyes

Well, wrong hit. Ignoring was discussed earlier.

Quote:

Now dborca, you are repeating yourself. This is a clear sign that something upstairs is not quite right and that you common key skills of communication leave something to be desired! Roll Eyes

Well, you said it. It'll take me a while to count how many times you repeated yourself.

Quote:

You were never "on track" in the first place! Roll Eyes

In fact, you've f**k**g derailed! Grin

! Your breaks are times to re-coup to think of something "witty" to say. (oops, I said witty again, what will he think of me? Grin

)

Ah-hah! Loosing control? Call the nurse.

Quote:

Just get asking yourself that question! Roll Eyes

It may take some time to sink in, and realise the fact that you can't read, or write, or talk for that matter! Somebody help him! Roll Eyes

He! Funny things you say. I suggest you begin with color books or something.

Quote:

That would be the day! The only fool here is you Roll Eyes

, in that you miss the point of sarcasm, even when it's thrown back at you. Oh dear! Wink

I begin to realize that you are writing this looking into a mirror or something.

Quote:

It is!

It's painful for all of us poor saps who have to ready your constant dribble that fails to structure something remotely read-worthy! Roll Eyes

Better reading ill-formed phrases than ill-formed mind.

Quote:

Sigh! It's hard work trying to educate fools, who can't even help themselves by admitting they talk sh*t!

Amen! Hence my sweat; but you, poor soul, are lost.

Quote:

Like I said, YOU are my lithium! Come closer, and I'll take a chunk! Wink

Okay, I'll give you my pest piece.

Quote:

Want me to let you know what an English class is actually like? You probably wouldn't understand! Roll Eyes

You can't explain something that you haven't understood yourself.

Quote:

Impression of dborca:
"Ooh, he can't spell! Ooh, it's Notes with an 'N', can't you spell? uh .. uhh... [insert an attempt at a witty comment here]

This was the best shot for today. Tip: "aint" is spelled "ain't". Just to let you know.

Quote:

"blah, blah, blah" is one of your strong points! Roll Eyes

That all your sentences ever seem to say! "blah, blah" actually makes more sense than you're saying! Grin

The spaces intentionally left blank actually some you up, sunshine! Roll Eyes

BlahBlah denotes smething extremely boring and uninteresting. Such as your emanations.

Understand then! Understand the comments I give you, and come up with something response-worthy! Roll Eyes

Quote:

Okay, slowly. You seem to think you have invented the wheel, the habit of walking, and some language expressions. I told you, you should've asked help earlier.

I levitate, I'm a psychic, I'm "walking", I am great, I invented the wheel! I'm ...... GOD! Grin

How nice of you to think so! Wink

I need the help! But I need it from someone else, we all need to know what you're talking about! Grin

Hehe.

Quote:

Who is talking about denial, are you in love with the Egyptian river that much?
You do need a thesaurus, but you need HELP more! Seek it! Grin

Quote:

I decided to further ignore your self-indulgent phrases. That's all.

Well if you won't help yourself, who can help you? Roll Eyes

Quote:

Well, wrong hit. Ignoring was discussed earlier.

Derailed again have we? Roll Eyes

I think so. You are now ignorant and incoherent. You to choose to ignore my comments, that's fine, but don't expect to reply to somthing you don't read. Don't cry for him. Roll Eyes

Quote:

Well, you said it. It'll take me a while to count how many times you repeated yourself.

Please count them! Roll Eyes

I will laugh my arse off when you fall on your face! At no point in this discussion has there been any repetition apart from your incoherent dribble. Grin

Quote:

Ah-hah! Loosing control? Call the nurse.

Help him then... Roll Eyes

Extend your breaks and come up with something better! Wink

Quote:

He! Funny things you say. I suggest you begin with color books or something.

Your responses are now somewhat diluted due to the fact you have no more to say! These responses are now meaningless, and just becoming harmless banter! Roll Eyes

Quote:

I begin to realize that you are writing this looking into a mirror or something.

You clearly have gone back to school with comments like these. Why don't you add: "My daddy is bigger than yours, my daddy can beat you up" and "I know you are, you said you are, but what am I?". It's like your trapped in the playground! Roll Eyes

Quote:

He! Funny things you say. I suggest you begin with color books or something.

"... or something."? Hahaha! Cheesy

King of Grammar! Back to school sonny.... Roll Eyes

Better reading ill-formed phrases than ill-formed mind.

But it is your ill-formed mind that spews out these ill-formed phrases, so what is your point? Roll Eyes

Quote:

Amen! Hence my sweat; but you, poor soul, are lost.

Hence my sweat? Undecided

What are you on? Grin

Quote:

Okay, I'll give you my pest piece.

If that's meant to be your best piece, please, let's see it! I'd enjoy every last second! Grin

Quote:

You can't explain something that you haven't understood yourself.

Oh, ye of little faith. Roll Eyes

What? Is that meant to be a response? I seriously doubt that. You wish I never understood the English language, otherwise you wouldn't have to suffer the ripping you are getting now! Wink

Quote:

This was the best shot for today. Tip: "aint" is spelled "ain't". Just to let you know.

I rest my case.

As you can see, my impression of dborca was magnificent, I thank you! Thank you! I'm here all week! Grin

Quote:

BlahBlah denotes smething extremely boring and uninteresting. Such as your emanations.

I hope you are not informing me what "blah blah" means, as you have now really reached your low point!

Another impression of dborca:
Quote:

Nuh! You spelled "something" wrong, because it's "smething", you are wrong, nuh!, nuh!

Grow up and be a man! Roll Eyes

Well, I am going to accept that from my side. I also accept the results coming from a long, pointless arguement with an idiot.

*g*, now that's one helluva problem. Of yours! Repetition should be your middle name.

It was good enough. Maybe too complicated for you.

Quote:

No need to talk when facts speak for themselves.

Actually, this is a lousy comment.

Nevermind. Too difficult for you.

Quote:

I don't want people blaming me for not trying. Trying what? Trying to tell you a few things.

Okay, if I was wrong, I'll take it. Although I think I was right, too.

The thing is, you reached yours a few posts ago. I'm just having fun. And trying to explain simple matters to you. Don't feel insulted. Someone has to do this lousy job...

"How's your nan?" and "I bought an ice cream!". See the relevance? Of course dborca is the only who can, as he spews out dribble that relates to nothing! As usual! Grin

Quote:

Not yet, I can handle you.

You're far from denial, you've admitted it! Ha! Cheesy

You're wrong! At last! Finally! Some breakthrough! I don't think you can handle me boy, you can't even handle the truth! You've already broke down! Roll Eyes

Quote:

Well, I am going to accept that from my side.

Great!

Another! Now you've also admitted you ARE ignorant and incoherent! Great! We'll be finished by tea time! I'd like you to go on further, but you couldn't take it! Roll Eyes

Dig deep, you may find it! If not, keep believing you are right! Nobody else does! Grin

"Back to school......back to school....to prove to the forum that I'm not a fool!" You'll have a hard time pulling that one off dborca. Roll Eyes

Quote:

What?, your breaks are complicated? What are you getting at? Nothing as usual. The only thing complicated is your ill mind! Hehe. Grin

Quote:

No need to talk when facts speak for themselves.

Don't then. Save what dignity you have left! Roll Eyes

Forget that, you let that go a long time ago, the last time I whooped your arse in a conversation! Wink

Quote:

Talking from experience?

You have so lost it now. Wink

All your responses are pathetic attempts at the things I say to you, to be thrown back in my face! It don't work sunshine! Wink

Face it! Hehe. Grin

Quote:

Actually, this is a lousy comment.

Awww!

Did I touch another nerve? I got him, and reeling him in! Wink

Come on! You can do better than this! No.....no, you can't!

Quote:

Nevermind. Too difficult for you.

Again, same pathetic responses! Take another break! You need it! In fact, take the day off! Grin

Quote:

I don't want people blaming me for not trying. Trying what? Trying to tell you a few things.

But you're not telling me anything useful, just your constant dribble. Roll Eyes

You've derailed again!

Quote:

I decided to not make it public. It's only for you.

Well I want to see it. Wink

Others would like to see your best, we could do with a few more laughs! Haha! Cheesy

Quote:

Where? It's fascinating how you see things your way only.

Where? Where what? Oh, your response? I don't know. I don't think you thought of one! Nothing new there then is there? Roll Eyes

Quote:

Okay, if I was wrong, I'll take it. Although I think I was right, too.

You are wrong, and right too. Not about the same things, but we're all like that. Don't sweat it! Wink

Quote:

The thing is, you reached yours a few posts ago. I'm just having fun. And trying to explain simple matters to you. Don't feel insulted. Someone has to do this lousy job...

Not insulted in the slightest!

It is fun an enjoyable, but now it is getting involved between my jobs I have to do for today.

Look, let's agree to disagree! That's the best we can do! It's obvious, we aren't going to come to a conclusion! I don't want to embarass you and humiliate you any further, and I assume you don't like attempting to do the same, if you are mature enough to admit it. I am.
So shall we agree to disagree? Wink

At least that way I can get on with the rest of my jobs today. Wink

Alright, I picked it up today...

Well, never saw an Item that was to be shipped overseas packed so careless in my life, but luckily most of the Cards seem to have survived (only some had visible damage).

I will not Post Images of the Packet when I opened it, as it would make any 3dfx Collector break out in tears, I have no words for what I had to see.

I'll have to do some serious maintenance and cleaning on those Items before getting up any Images, because some of them are in an outright sorry condition Sad

Sorry to hear that... Embarrassed

Especially as teh collection wasnt really cheap...
It is a pity that some people obviously don´t know how to treat things right.
I made the same experience several times on ebay.
I bought a cpu and it looked like a mess, over and over with thermally conductive compound. Luckily after cleaning it worked ok, I hope some of the cards you got are still operational.

After carefully cleaning and looking very close over all Cards, that's how it looks :

The SB100-4440 had its 2 SHADE daughterboards almost detached, the plastic Clamps that hold them im place were almost sheered off. Shades are now held in place almost only by their own Connectors.
Its Metal bracket was bent-off by almost half an inch.

The Voodoo5 5000 SG-RAM had one of its Voltage Regulators almost sheered off, is visibly bent over.

The Canopus Pure3D had the corner of its PCB almost crushed at its weakest spot.

The other Cards now look surprisingly well, nothing major noted (lucky!)

Let me guess, just a box full of voodoo cad but no foam or anything that could protect between them. Then the box makes noise when moved, and one of those careless UPS guys wonders whats in it. He starts to shake it to hear whats inside......what a shame. I feel really sorry for you Falconfly. Did the box have a breakable sticker on the side?

Good luck with the repairings. The bracket should be relatively easy, but the voodoo 5 5000 Shocked

Well, we were very very lucky.

All in all, most Cards survived it without visible damage, and I hope the SB100-4440 (which took the biggest beating) and the Voodoo5 5000 still work.

Anyway, it is beyond my understanding why this happened; after all it was a 1800$ item with 120$ shipping, bought from a Collector by a Collector.

I assumed that automatically meant absolutely first Class packaging, maximum protection against ESD, Shock, movement inside the Package and Humidity for each individual Card being self-explanatory.
I guess I was wrong with those assumptions Roll Eyes

PS.
Our first Collection bought in Feb 2004 arrived exactly as I stated above, absolutely generous and very careful world-class packaging for each single Item, even for the smallest ones.
