I recently have been going through some stuff and pulled out all my Voodoo (sales may be on the radar/eBay) I snapped this picture. I don't know of anyone else in this world that has all 6 of these. (maybe 1-2 other people as the V4 4500 PCI MAC USA box is so rare) Keep the pictures coming folks!

.

It's true that the AAlchemy 8264 nVSensor thread woke up my senses. After seeing all those cool shots from G-Man it made me dig out some things from storage. I don't post very often anymore but check in almost daily. (FalconFly has been on my bookmarks bar for as long as I have been collecting and it's part of my routine)

I thought it would be a shame to not share my Command Center (as I call it) I would say it has a 3dfx theme and is appropriate to post here

The V56K is stored in another room though, with all the bass produced from my Cerwin-Vega! speakers I don't want to rattle it too much

(15's, 12's, 10's and 8's all running together lol)

Oh, the pile of boxes under the "so powerful, it's kind of ridiculous" banner are going to be for sale. If you have any interest in any of them send me a PM

Wow those pictures make me look insane. Pretty much accurate Cheesy

Yes. I figure they will chime in if so inclined. Currently they might still be in the US on business.

This past week I awoke the Queen from her slumber. Cool

Played through Half-Life this last week and going to keep playing. Something about a card with 0 reworks makes it special, I used the Voodoo Volts for awhile but now am just using my custom molex adapter because I feel more safe. (2.5 = inside diameter, 5.5 = outside diameter)

Anyways, Greetings from treats

Long time hope everyone is doing well

Lamarr!!!

Despite that the Voodoo Rush is not the best product out there I like the way they mixed 2D and 3D together. Seeing those very few prototypes is always good .

.

I agree that these weren't the best performing or very appreciated by the market back then but they're are more interesting from a collector's point of view.
To me it always seemed strange that Orchid and Diamond who were the first to sell Voodoo1 based cards didn't have a Voodoo Rush offering on the market. Finding these prototypes is proof that they did have a go at it but this would've impacted the sales of their separate 2D cards so that might be a reason why they didn't market them in the end.
Unfortunately the cards are so early that standard drives don't work so I can't test their performance.
