Drive keys for two of my systems.

nice, seen this kind of thing before, was this your handy work gary?

Yup.

I hope you stripped them from defect cards, or even found them on the internet loose hehe, I have seen sad things on the net before that people striped thier Voodoo3 3000's just to do those things.

but the idea is not something everyone would propose. But then again if the chips were loose, you could see it as a form of art hehe.

My nice is an Instructor of the International Art Institute of Rotterdam, she would like to see things like those, Art is her profession  8)

No! I stripped them from perfectly operating Mercury and 4116 systems!!



























Of course they were from dead cards!

I thought it would be a nice touch having a Voodoo 2 chip for a Mercury system keyring =)

This is scary, but since it's Gary...

(ah ah ah)

;D

How did you make the holes on the GPUs?

hey gary, how did you get that Voodoo 3 GPU off?

i tried it at a V4 4500... screwdriver... no chance...

Propane torch to the back of the card.

Makes stinkys, be sure to do it outside with good ventilation.

mkay , sorry I interrupted, I couldn't of known, it could also of been that you had spare ones lay'n around gee wizz. :-/

But then again it's more like decoration than art if I must conclude. 8)

I see art as a profession, but they look nice though , it does have something hehe   :P

Anyway I get it now.

By the way, did you go through with the idea of 3dfx things in your bathroom?

nah skipped that one hehe, indeed , it would have looked a little too overdone hehe though the idea was kinda funny...nah that ain't me ;) I am a Jedi, I rather have a wall painting of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Yoda on my Wall ;)
