I had a little fun this morning with one old motherboard wich had one agp, six pci and one isa slot.

First image is with 3 v5, one agp, one pci for pc and one pci for mac (with dvi).

In second pictures I filled all slots with all generations of 3dfx cards, from top to bottom : 3dfx v4 4500, 3dfx v5 5500, 3dfx voodoo 3 3000, provideo voodoo2, skywell voodoo1, jazz voodoo rush, creative voodoo banshee.

Too bad that 3dfx didnt made any ISA hardware Wink

@razrx in the last picture the seems to be a contradiction in terms "Not For Resale" and "V5 Proof of Purchase" . All and all very nice work, the box looks great.
I was also wandering why everybody that tried to do one of these boxed for the 6k has made it using the v5 5500 US version as model and as a result it's US Box. It would be nice to see the EU version or even the APJ version Wink

As far as making your own Voodoo 5 6000 box, here are my tips.

Go here: http://www.voodoo3dfx.com/Foro_V6k/viewt...ci&start=0&sid=

I found the above thread looking around one day and I used all the info on that thread to make my box.

What you need:
-the v5 6000k front image (see the thread I posted above for the image)
-a V5 5500 AGP retail box works best(other V5s or V4s would do the trick too, but more work is involved)
-a fairly high resolution scanner
-empty V# #### box. I used a V3 3000 PCI box to glue the printed image to.
-Gimp2 - Awesome program that I had to learn as I worked on this project (www.sourceforge.net)
-LOTS of time and patience

Cool

@razrx - congrats on an excellent project!

I think a V6k would fit in that box just fine. (one like SFFT's, now murfi's) I'm sure that if the cards went to prod they would not have included that extra/waste pcb.

Don't know about the whole VV though... oh well, we are talking about the unkown, therefore everything is pure speculation.

Thanks for the tips Paul! Wink

@exxe: I believe in the make your own Molex to 1 Pin power adapter.
/EDIT - My V5 6000 box is 37 cm long, but my card is only 34.5 cm...... hmmmm... I've got some ideas for another project... Wink

@rotten: ya, VV isn't my thing either.

/EDIT - Here's a newer picture of the Molex to 1 Pin. In the first image I used liquid electrical tape.... i wouldn't really recommend it, since I respliced, soldered and heat shrink tubed the cable. It also looks cleaner.
