More like people will pay $5 for 3dfx. You will lose money shipping a Geforce 2 MX. He might get $80 for a Voodoo 5 6000.

3dfx cards in general have a few things over a common nvidia card;
- voodoo is a rather famous range
- they can run Glide games, which nothing else can natively
- 3dfx is dead, some people have a thing for owning products from dead companies

>>56188455

>Windows 2000 Pro key
lel, remember when MS release a windows 2000 trial disc, which had a broken trial timer, making it possible to use it in trial mode indefinitely without limitation?
literally no reason to buy windows 2000

Do the AGP and PCI Voodoo cards go for different amounts or are they generally worth the same?

PCI Voodoo 3,4,5 cost generally more because they are harder to find and can be used on more exostic systems.

>>56188798
Man, I have never checked eBay for a Voodoo 2, I have been buying a few when I have seen them for a few bucks somewhere. Seeing that I got at least a month's pay in Voodoo 2 cards, kek.

>>56188946
Do older OSs just need a valid serial? I thought OEMs like that were tied to the mobo or is that just for newer stuff?

>>56189086
OEM installers will be tied to serials, normal install will take whatever valid serial you have, does not matter from what machine.

Is that ati card a 9250? I had one of those back in the day, first video card I ever bought. It was paired with a gimpy sempron 2200+ in the first PC I built from scratch. It wasn't very good, but it could run ut2004 and halo at 640x480 at decent frame rates. up until last year that card was still in service in my parents pentium 4. Thanks for the nostalgia anon.

And yeah, I'm a more "ethical" recycler, I don't just sell it all as scrap, I have the eye for old/rare/vintage stuff and save them for resale but pretty much everything between slot 2 and single core or x86 is scrap, Its like the age of shit computing, even in 50 years it won't have collector value

WEll for one it pays to line in an area with out an e-waste company already. But I started it just by having a website up and targeting Google SEO for my area. I also started talking to the local computer shops and would collect from them weekly. word started spreading, offering free pickup. got a yellow pages ad for a year. then we got free space in the back of a computer shop so people could bring stuff to us (see pic) now we pretty much own the ewaste/computer recycling google search for our area and get a few calls a day.

the business actually got really good, to the point that I gave it to my buddy for 2 years because I got a better job, and he was able to live off of it, selling the scrap and also reselling refurbished machines.

>>56189381
That sounds pretty awesome actually. Do you think this sort of venture would still be doable in the right area today?

ohh yeah, I only started about 5 years ago and its only getting better, People are wanting to be green and are actually looking for places to take them. I have the benefit of living in an area that a lot of southern Californians move to, and they will buy new stuff before "fixing" the current thing they have, or just buy a new one if its "old", so much of what we get is perfectly fine and ready to be resold. as for dealing with the scrap, I got lucky also, I used to take my stuff down to Phoenix once a month but started talking to the steel recycler right here in town and got to know them, they wanted to start accepting e-waste (for scrap only), told them what I was doing and in a move that could have been stupid set them up with the company in Phoenix in return for them letting me bring all my sorted scrap to them locally but they pay me the same price they get from the phoenix company. worked out good, they only added a line to their yellow pages ad that they accepted computers. hardly hurt our business, and I save myself a 140 mile round trip

aside from the yellow pages ad, It has cost me almost nothing to run the business out of my garage (or free back room), best thing is to be a people person, talk to the local computer shops and get stuff from them, then you can look into expanding

>>56189201

So they're customized for the case. Put the fucking drive in the bay and connect it.

>btx mobo so the connector for both of them is literally on the other side of the case

Was for a old guy.

>>56189712

you're thinking of pci

>>56189691
are you genuinely autistic or what

>proprietary length cables
meaning it is only meant to connect certain devices in a certain orientation. I can't say, put an IDE hard drive where it SHOULD go in the case because the ribbon cable included was only meant for a pair of stacked optical drives and isn't long enough between the two drive connectors, even though the length of cable from the system board to the first drive is easily long enough to reach all the way from the rear of the case to the front.

IDE cables are fucking stupid.

>other side of what case?
this is where I realized I was replying to a moron
