The reason I'm not going after V5 6000 cards is bacause of a theory I have.

Those prototypes and rare cards are mostly in the hands of collectors, who are carefull with them.

Those regular cards in a good state (complete with box and accessoires) are mostly in the hands of incompetent people. With each passing year, those regular boxed cards will become more and more 'rare' because they're not taken care of properly and thus increase in their value.

Plus, I don't have enough money for a V5 6K Tongue

well the prototypes will remain the rarest 3dfx out there far more rarer and much more valueable than a mass produced boxed item Roll Eyes.

but yes they are expensive for a reason but that reason is rather obvious hehe, I sold 53 of my production card to lay hands on this V6K with VV and to be honest it was the best move I've done in the 3dfx buisness in eons something I won't do again but still it was damn worth every penny, the card wokrs flawlessly, but now it's on show in the IKEA table where it belongs it's too expensive too loose in a PC hehe.

after that obtained a nice V5K AGP from oscar als  a very nice and ultra rare piece but that was a close call, still had some cash left over from the last mounth so it was a now or never dicision so went for that as well. anyways like Oscar prefers thing I prefer the rare stuff and not the mass production stuff, it takes more time to obtain something and yes it's more expensive but @ least the cards won't stack up so quickly ehhe

everyone has thier way of collecting this way Smiley no offense there Wink

anyways if there is a V6K you would like for lesser money this non working one may be an idea Wink

hey heeey!!!!  Grin

a nice victory has been made today Smiley
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130017260802

my 13th card, a Boxed 3dfx VoodooMAC 5500 PCI EURO "Purple Box" model Smiley
...

Since I have the Final Pre-Production Prototype of this nice card:
... ... ...

I rather flash that production card and make use of this production model and spare that beautifull Prototype and put it in my table togeather with my other nice 3dfx cards, since it is safer to use a production card than a Prototype Wink

It's also nice to pwn both cards the Final Pre-Production card and the Final Production card it's self Smiley

Congrats, well now as I see your listing you might consider getting some rush board Cheesy

When I started collecting my first real goal was to get at least 1 card for each chipset

...then it was 20cards, then I found this nice forum, then 50 and 100 Tongue
But still... 3Dfx doesen't cease to impress me
No specific goals atm thow (a v56k would be nice Roll Eyes)

I'd like to get some Rush boards but I can't find any boxed ones. Tongue

And when I do find them, the seller doesn't ship to the Netherlands Cry
