I also own a V5500MAC - flashed for PC use! ;D

I modded the original heatsinks with better quality fans...but kept the black base parts for that 'V5500' look and feel... 8)

...sorry no pics...yet! ::)

I'm really wondering how many Voodoo4 4500 PCI For Macintosh boxed were made, looks like Gary is the only collector I know that has it, ya know the Brown USA VoodooMAC 4500 boxed card ;)

this one:



don't worry I didn't use the pic from Gary's page ;)
that must be the rarest boxed Voodoo around.

Title: Re: Let Loose The 3dfx VoodooMAC Fury!
Post by R21vo on 07.08.05 at 19:25:58
yes, the brown edition seems to be very rare one.

btw, i just finished voodoomac 4500 pink edition wallpapper from Obi's shot:

As always, you can get it on wallpapers section of my site.

Title: Re: Let Loose The 3dfx VoodooMAC Fury!
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 07.08.05 at 21:04:28
omg it's really wonderfull , I PM'ed the 3 5500 USA boxarts to you just a few minutes ago ;)

would it be possible to make a background from the brown edition as well or is it way too small?

I think finding one will be difficult also, though, the Voodoo mac series is one of my favourite series, cause it's those extra DVI ports that make them look alot different from the others :P

Title: Re: Let Loose The 3dfx VoodooMAC Fury!
Post by R21vo on 07.08.05 at 21:27:41
well, bigger pic would make things easier, but seems brown version generally is the same green version, so i might take green one as base.

Title: Re: Let Loose The 3dfx VoodooMAC Fury!
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 08.08.05 at 01:45:52
well I did find this one which you could use as base ;)

I hope this one made you happy, let's hope that the Voodoo4 4500 PCI 32MB For Macintosh shall be seen in a nicer size this time :P

Title: Re: Let Loose The 3dfx VoodooMAC Fury!
Post by edmundoab on 08.08.05 at 06:39:22
oh boy,
I have seen the brown box on ebay last time around,
but I never thought i would collect to this point with 45 cards in hand,

and never figure that the brown box will be that hard to find.

its around somewhere,
I just know it,
but no one is selling it,
thats the prob

Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 08.08.05 at 11:55:03
hehe yeps it's out there allright, I'm still scouting for ya, still no results, well it's bigger brother the 5500 PCI for Mac USA has been seen morely from time to time, but even that one is abit on the rare side, the 5500 PCI for Mac USA is alot rarer that it's european counterpart aka the VoodooMAC 5500, the  MAC 5500 Euro has been seen @ ebay alot more than the 5500 PCI for Mac USA, afaik.

Post by NitroX infinity on 10.08.05 at 12:04:59
I'm a bit confused here, according to OutOf Range's album this is an MP750
http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/album55/750front

But according to TM30's album it's an MP850
http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/album68/1_G

According to FalconFly's album, this is an MP850
http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/falconfly_banshee/3dfx_voodoobanshee_villagetronic_mp850_front

And according to Gary, that's an MP750:
http://thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/mac.htm

So which is which?

I tend to believe Gary the most since he is quite possibly the biggest expert (no offence to the other guys), but I just want to be sure. So Green PCB = 750 and blue PCB = 850?

Post by R21vo on 10.08.05 at 13:37:54
checkout: http://www.target.vol.at/Seiten/portfolio_village.html
green pcb: mp850, blue pcb: mp750

Thank you :D

Title: Re: Let Loose The 3dfx VoodooMAC Fury!
Post by OutOfRange on 11.08.05 at 10:11:14
not really correct, the green and blue pcb is different between revisions not between models ;)

if you go on the villagetronic website all MPx60 boards are blue...

i will have a MP850 here in a few days so i can show where's the difference ;)

Title: Re: Let Loose The 3dfx VoodooMAC Fury!
Post by NitroX infinity on 11.08.05 at 11:11:20
Ah, even better :)

Title: Re: Let Loose The 3dfx VoodooMAC Fury!
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 12.08.05 at 19:56:45
Blue PCB looks nice for VoodooMAC's :) the Piccaso's must of been sold by Apple it's self or not?

Title: Re: Let Loose The 3dfx VoodooMAC Fury!
Post by NitroX infinity on 20.08.05 at 12:13:19
OutOfRange; any progress? :)
