A very good fake

Single-piece aluminum board?! Okay, but I still don't get it ... Even if the video output was supplied through another card, it obviously had power going through fake replicas. Because of the LEDs and fans, so it definitely wasn't just a dummy card. Either way, he did one heck of a job! I'm sure it was pricy one, too!

@Chloe Price

There were a few 64-bit GF256 - for ex. the ASUS V6600MX comes to my mind.

Ah, didn't even know that it had a 64-bit variant.

Yeah... and I own that abomination :/
It's only good at one thing :
Being unique

@agent_x007 - thanks for the 3dmark2000 120/150 comparison

I found a GF256 DDR CT6970- from Creative but it is bundled with 3 other cards - two GF3 Ti200 and one GF4 Ti 4200.

All sell for about 45EUR. The catch is they are untested and sold ai is. They are a package deal or NO DEAL.

Sheeeshhhhh

The GF256 looks well and only has a torn wire from the fan.

The two GF3 Ti200 look great.

The GF4 Ti 4200 has a bigger fan put on it.

I had my share of gambles and up to this day I always won but this add made me ponder....

Hmm... what to do?

I'm close to 100 video cards - should I buy 4 more???

12EUR well spent!

Agreed! That's a very rare card indeed.

Robert B said:

Get them. Not much of a gamble. They likely all work.

Yeah, they were the "value" variants.

Wow that's old school! Haven't seen one of those in years.

Trekkie4 · Oct 12, 2018

For a moment, I thought that was some fancy aquarium hardware

(seriously!!)

at the age it is it most probably was converted aquarium gear

HUSKIE · Oct 12, 2018

I dismantled the pump/Res last night and it looks like EK DCP Pump. (Forgot to take photo) it has gigabyte logo on pump too.

Edit:
Just converted the two pin connector she is running for leak testing.

dorsetknob · Oct 12, 2018

Got one of those but in worse condition
Perfect water block (with VRM Cooling Fan and controler) pump/res has damaged top in need of serious ghetto repair
even comes with the same hose clips

Hint does your hoses say gigabyte on them mine does

edit

Bungz · Oct 12, 2018

Very cool.

I think I have one or two vintage water blocks around but none of the pumps and rads.

dorsetknob · Oct 12, 2018

HUSKIE

do you have this with the kit as well

My Rad also came with a 4 blue led 120mm fan

HUSKIE · Oct 12, 2018

Don't have that kit mate...

Ah the memories flood back.. That Celeron 300a was the CPU to have back then. OC'd like a champ and when OC'd beat out the Pentium 2 in all games and most everything else. Good times!
