3 GTX480’s?
I’m impressed it hasn't melted it‘s way through the floor. Must be kicking out some serious heat?
All three sat at 93 degrees running Heaven 4.0.
Toasty, but they are rated up to 105, so they still had some headroom!
Things kind of got too out of control for the thread, will update soon... But I now have a nice Pentium 166 socket 7 setup, and a socket 370 setup, and a few more CRTs and keyboards and things... 
I will do a proper update soon, but in the mean time this is what I've amassed recently... It should go some way to explaining the lack of updates! Haha
These aren't necessarily the specs I received the machines with, I've been doing a lot of amassing of parts, and upgrading too. Things have gone a bit bonkers.
P1 166, S3 Virge, 32MB, repaired, drives repopulated, and woodgrain wrapped by me.
P2 350, Rage Pro Turbo, 128MB. P3 600, Rage Fury Pro, 256MB, both built by me.
P1 166, P3 600, K6 233, K6-2 300, K6-2 400, P3 1G, P3 1G, P1 200, all cleaned up/tested by me, and a couple of them built up into totally different (and awesome) systems.
This one for example:
Now a K6-2 3D 400, 96MB RAM, Guillemot Maxi Gamer Phoenix 3DFX Voodoo Banshee 16MB, SB Live + AZTech Sound 16B w' OPL, Quantum Fireball 6GB, black baby AT case and drives.
And this one has a VIA Cyrix III 700MHz on an Octek motherboard, 64MB of RAM, and an S3... Trio3D 32... 2X?
Amstrad PCW 8256 with a HUGE box of disks and accessories that I haven't even been able to touch yet.
Oh and these too, both P4 systems I was given. Neither of which I particularly want or know what to do with.
And then I have a bunch of other stuff... Sound cards, drives, super socket 7 and socket 5 boards... I barely know what to do with it all.
