Title: DEAD Voodoo cards - what DO you use them for?
Post by paulpsomiadis on 17.07.09 at 23:28:57
Like the title says - from time to time our precious Voodoo cards go "poof" in a virtual cloud of smoke... :'(

...it's a sad occasion, but it need not be a total loss. ;)

I personally have only lost my V5500 AGP a couple years back (fried due to an AGP slot voltage issue) - but since then I've scavanged parts from it to fix a PCI V5500 (later sold) 8-)

And (just this evening) removed 11 of those teeny 10uF 16V caps to re-cap my Linksys router (as you can see, the router is now Voodoo powered - if only in spirit...LOL!) ;D

So there ya' go - add your comments folks! :)

I'm using the cards as spare parts depot.
Also I'm unrigging the GPU's for my GPU-collection:

I honestly Dont do anything with them. Just box them up and put them in the closet. I definately wont get rid of them.
