Yeah, I figured it out eventually, but it still seems overly convoluted At least the fan isn't one of those super-thin single slot blowers like the 4850 had.

I dunno, it worked great for G92.

Overclocked & nitrogen-cooled hamsters aside, here's some more Adison-related stuff

I was kindly given, donated yet another BTC CD-ROM drive earlier today!

Bright white unit ... those other two will require some effort to make them (at least) beige again, before they will blend in with the rest of the case. So, things are overall starting to round up & I'm getting close to finally end this once & for all. For those who don't know (or don't remember), I've been working on this project for approx. 15 years now, so now's the good (if not perfect) time as ever to finally get it all finished & set up!

Wait, are those drives painted some sort of weird ochre yellow, or are those #1 and #2 globally for the most UV yellowed pieces of plastic known to man? The top one looks like it's got a cheap spray tan ...

Nope, no paint - just your cheap, generic drives from around late 90s, which are (apparently, judging from the yellowness) extremely prone & sensitive to UV light. I'm going to attempt the hydrogen peroxide treatment on those, but IDK if (and how much) is that going to work out... That being said, they need to be AT LEAST beige, before they can blend in with the rest of the case.

Interestingly enough, this latest one is bright white, as if it came straight from the factory!

After a long sleepless night because I couldn't find a sticker for my X850 XT it finally came to me through a vision. I had a dream where the sticker flew through my window and landed on my desk. So with this gift bestowed on me I want to show you the final result.

Touching story man

I also had a dream; I bought the card with the most badass name ever and it arrived

Let's go ! Radeon X850 XT

I had to clean it first of course but I think it turned out great

EDIT: Does maybe someone know where can I get some round ATI stickers for the FAN cover ? View attachment 189645

Nice job btw, but what's the heatsink (for the 6800?) on this magazine?
Looks awesome!

It's a magazine from 2003. And they were showing how graphics cards started using more beefier cooling, this particular picture is from a FX 5900 Ultra i think but have to check it.

There is this second hand shop near me selling Dell Dimension XPS Gen 4 that missing a front panel that have X850XT card. The rest of the spec are Pentium 4 3.4GHz, 2GB DDR2, Creative Audigy soundcard among others that come standard. I really wanted that X850 but the set costs RM599 which is about ~USD150. Worth it? Not worth it?

Depends. Are you collecting with the intention of restoring the system to an original(or near original) authentic state? If so, then yes that's a fair deal. If all you want to do is some classic Win9X/XP gaming then no, there are much better options out there.

For that price in the states, I can get a used workstation with a 1366 CPU and 8GB DDR3, so I would say no. It would have to be a 478 system with an Extreme Edition CPU for me to consider that price.

I wish there was a way I could fit my Big Typhoon on my 2600k. It's bound to be better than my Cryorig M9. Unfortunately, I don't have access to any metalworking tools, so I can't exactly just make one.
