Scanned this forum a couple of times and was quite surprised there was no dedicated "Retro/Vintage/Rare PC Hardware Collection" thread (unless I suck at searching). Maybe not so many crazies around collecting electronic debris nowadays, but still, are you kidding me OcUKers? 
So if you've got any piece of hardware that you would like to share with me and others (graphics cards, microprocessors, motherboards, sound cards or memory modules etc.), take this opportunity and post your picture(s) here.
I would prefer if you could avoid using oversized images wrapped in "spoiler" tags and instead post some friendly size ones, i.e. 1280x720 etc. to keep it nice and tidy here. Feel free to drop a few sentences to tell us some interesting technical or historical info and the reason why you've kept your component(s).
Looking forward to reading your posts guys, fingers crossed this thread will do well

OK, I am done with talking, thanks to everyone who will take part and now, let me fire this thread up with some of my pieces. All pictures I post here are my own unless I state otherwise.
ATI Radeon 9800XT 256MB was battling against Nvidia's FX 5950 Ultra 256MB. In 2004, when the battle was taking place, each of those monsters would set you back £300 and more, depending on manufacturer.

. I don't think I'll ever own a Voodoo5 6000 since they are really rare and precious. Voodoo5 5500 are not hard to find though. I managed to get this beauty, also quite hard to find:
