HD3870 512MB with a Zalman vf1000.

I have'nt still decided what my next CPU/GPU combo should be. At least AMD with AMD :D 5770 looks sexy, 5850 looks like a horse, the 5870 is for real men.

I got a 4830 watercooled.

No picture yet, still a work in progress.
^^

Before it was a ati x800xl a year ago, so you could figure it out how big the gap was...
;)

3870 + 3850 on crossfire. Unfortunately 3850 is dying and when it's KIA, time to buy new one and sell that 3870.

Taking better picture tomorrow. My nokia can't handle nighttime photographing :p:

My first build ever used the 9800pro (it's burnt up though)
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_S6CHN8qPQnA/S5...Ati9800pro.JPG

Next was the X800XL 256MB
http://lh6.ggpht.com/_S6CHN8qPQnA/S5.../AtiX800XL.JPG

Then the X1950pro 512MB
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_S6CHN8qPQnA/S5...tix1950pro.JPG

Still in operation on backup rig, the dusty 4850 crossfire:

Current Rig Tri-crossfire 4870 1GB
http://lh6.ggpht.com/_S6CHN8qPQnA/S5.../3Ati4870s.JPG

Didn't realize how dusty my stuff was until the white light (sony w810i phone light) hit it. Guess i should get the air spray out!

4890 with that vapor x thingamajig.

One of the hardware parts I've had, mostly enjoyed and regret selling is a pair of Creative Voodoo 2 12MB which I used in SLI along 98-99. Those could really bring to life a budget k6 gaming platform like no other.
I still have their tandem 2D card (albeit a 1st gen 3d card), the first Matrox Mystique with 2MB SGram from around 96 which was the first hardware part I've ever "owned", received on my bday. At the time it was a heck of an improvement in non accelerated svga dos games for a 95 p120.

On the pile is resting a riva TNT 1 16MB AGP, a Matrox m3d (pvr pcx2) and a good old ti4200. Another great card I parted that gave life to a tbird 1333 back in 2001 for 3 years was a gf3ti200.

@chew

Hey, a while back I posted a still working 24/7, and sometimes gaming 6 year old 6800GT fit with the first Thermalright GPU cooler. I guess it's still the most expensive single piece of hardware I got up to this day :p.

Here are some. Dont have pics of many others laying around. too lazy. Click thumbs to open the bigger image.

Modded GF3 Ti200, original fan died, and back in those days, replacement parts or even 3rd party HSF was impossible to source. Online banking and credit cards were considered luxary. Ended up replacing stock fan with one pulled form original xbox
