Saw some retro hardware for sale in an ad on a Dutch tech site's marketplace section. Sadly, some of the really good stuff, like the GeForce 2 Ti/Ultra cards, were already taken, but there was still some good stuff there. Seller noted in the ad that he just needed to get rid of it, so I figured it was worth seeing how much he'd ask for the three items I was really interested in.
Firstly, a Pentium III Tualatin 1.13GHz. Already had one, but I like to have it as a pair, like my two 1.42GHz Tullys. Second, a Diamond Viper V770 TNT2 card. I wanted a more appropriate AGP card for my somewhat overkill Pentium 233MMX@300MHz Super Socket 7 build, to replace the way-too-overkill ASUS V7100 Pro GeForce 2MX 400 in it. The TNT2 is still overkill, but will do any DirectX/2D stuff an MMX could possibly handle, and work in tandem with the Voodoo1 Maxi Gamer card for Glide use.
Lastly, a Quadro4 980XGL, essentially the best of the GeForce 4 line if you count it with them. Same specs to a Ti 4800, b̶u̶t̶,̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶d̶o̶u̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶R̶O̶P̶s̶ ̶(̶8̶ ̶v̶s̶ ̶4̶)̶. After a little back and forth, the seller suggested €20 including shipping, which was a very good deal. Today the package showed up, and to my surprise there was also an ASUS V7100T 32MB GeForce 2MX! A very neat card for the collection that I'm certainly thankful for, but just to be sure I have emailed the seller to confirm it was thrown in as an extra and not accidentally sent to me, I've had that happen before.
