Very bad luck then @Firestar_3x considering my v2.0 is clean as a whistle!
What retro things have you done today?

Might be PSU related, i presume these 3300uf 6.3v caps are part of the power stage?
Yeah they are all part of the power phases, so you are right, it could have been bad PSU rails!

Just tested, putting out 6v down the 5v rail.
Will do soon
I sold my PAIR with sli cable for £80
Erm, i hope that was quite a while back!
Good for you, I sold mine for less than £50Will do soon

Granted this was in the mid to late 2000s!
Just bought a GeForce 4 Ti 4800, supposedly fully working for £35. Fingers crossed!
Also bought, but not sure whether it’ll be of any use, a PCI to 4x Compact Flash card that can operate in RAID 0, 1 or 10 as well as JBOD. Could be a useful way to run multiple disks in this Athlon XP system without the need for any SATA cables.

Never seen an adapter like that before, got a link?
Can’t really link due to it being new and computer equipment from a competitor, but Googling “pci to 4 compact flash RAID” will show you a relevant result as the first hit

Silicon image controller too, very very interesting find.
Indeed. I stumbled across it looking to see if a PCI SSD existed.

I've seen some IDE direct plug in SSDs (all contained on one small board with an IDE plug) but i imagine the performance is terrible.
Never seen a PCI SSD, seems a bit odd given the availability of all the components to make one, suppose the market demand is exceptionally poor, but probably far higher than a CF raid solution
Yeah I used to have one in an old 1U server, 32GB i think it was. Pretty poor speed and also takes up a whole IDE channel for one device.
"Date Sold: 23/09/2019"
I was in a much different situation back then and needed the ££.(I paid £10 for the pair at a car boot!) I also hold 0 nostalgia for 3dfx my interest in them is mostly just a curiosity! The v3 in my main retro rig is a weak link and there is a geforce 3 ti 200 without a home in my parts box...
If I was to win this one I would probably rebuild my 450mhz k6-3 and pair it with an s3 virge and sb16.
Also not exactly retro related but used on my retro pc.. I picked up some creative gigaworks T20s last night. Those little guys pack a fair bit of noise for the size of them! Not magnetically shielded tho as I found out.

If you can take them apart you might be able to mod to shield them.

Man the seller basically gave those away, fantastic condition.
Well its not all good news. The floppies are dead. Killed by my 486's floppy drive!! And I discovered the 3.5mm jack on my adlib is very loose.
Still. The value is in the boxes moreso than the media. And the TTDLX cd is fine
