Hey all
Remember that auction I won of that 5500 PCi mac USA, well there was also something wextra I bought via Edmund via a private deal which is a 5500 PCI USA also boxed, these 5500 PCI face arts get nicer by the day, I also cleaned and repollished the V5 cards, and now they look like new even their backplates have some lovely
Bling Bling Comrades!
So here the pics of the 5500 PCI and PCI Mac USA's

Here some shots of the cards themselves, note that the 5500 PCI is a Rev.A1 2700 as where the mac card is a Rev.A1 2900, nice that their PCB dates are different , also the mac card has the original mac bios and I plan not to flash it, such cards with the original box and mac buios get rarer by the day:

With these two back, well every day I get dreams of how 3dfx collecting was like and yeah everyday is like anew ride again, I have sold alot of my NVIDIA and ATI VGA cards btw, I am going to sell alot more, it seems that 3dfx collecting is where my roots began and lead back to, this is just a small start but a nice one also, just proud to be doing this again.
Colelction 4 will be different though, it will hold memories to which made me feel good about, so I dunno what to do from here, I'll just see what will come my way, like most of you lads do here right.
