Really like having a look at your finds. The beige boxes you find are gold, but the others are good too. Finding a Voodoo 3 is simply outstanding. Your teaching electronics videos are really good but these flea market finds are just brilliant and good fun. I wish we had flea market sales, but then again perhaps not. I would keep the finds! 😁😁

Fun times. The problem with the TV capture cards is that there are no more stations they can pick up. You'd be capturing static—at least in this part of the world. Maybe you can find a place they still use this old technology, or a collector who will pay a high price to complete a collection of TV capture cards. Do you believe in miracles? 😅

[Dutch_off_grid_homesteading]

Heya, yes it is fun to see what you'll find inside these old pc and if something is not working see if you can repair it even if it is for a learning purpose only but if it is wort something and youy can sell it. you have a bissness to run too

[prnk]

Nice score on the Voodoo 3 Richard! 😃 I've found 2 myself in IT ewaste job lots, one I've kept in my personal collection and one I sold for £120.
I also have a Voodoo 2 which is from the derelict Cranebank British Airways training centre at Heathrow which was probably once used to train the pilots in flight simulators that fly us around today which I find pretty cool! 😃
The Creative Live Drive and slot load Pioneer DVD drive are also cool finds of which I've a couple of in my machines/collection. Worth £30-50.
Finally, those are some great motherboards, probably bought by enthusiasts at the time and I'm sure will hold some value today!

[zaneenaz]

amazed that DVD-drives still have value have box of them, at least 10....$50 if your interested.

[Gorkilein]

No the network cards aren't trash!

There were some relay that could be useful in the future!

[davidp]

The DVD drive is a Pioneer 116. Not particularly special but it’s a nice good quality drive. It was on your eBay page at £54

[tenlittleindians]

Often those switches on the front were for turbo mode. Some were even marked turbo.

[Pickle]

you have all the right parts for a nice voodoo 3 pc. P3 at 1 Ghz, live card. The AGP variant of V3 is something around $150 usd.

[chrishartley]

I think the reason for the smaller bios chip in a larger socket is simply because the board designer didn't know what size chip was going to be needed.
From experience I know what it is like when the board design doesn't allow for a big enough chip.

[truthreigns]

It looks like a large tower like the full size when I was in college.

[perkulant]

Always love these videos, such random finds sometimes.

A bit off topic, was it Gran Canaria you live? Wife looking at it for holidays and I said I may know of a top man on YouTube who lives there haha, was after some recommendations if you have five.

[Pulverrostmannen]

18:26 Dude I can see that Voodoo3 3000 AGP from a mile away!

[jkmac]

FAST make (or made) video editing software back in the 1990s, so that large TV card (Movie Machine II) was possibly used with their editing software.

[pcfred]

Interesting couple of PCs. I wonder what the person with all that video gear in that last one was up to. I would have to poke around in the system some to try and find out.

[Dutch-linux]

when you want to make a retro pc you can't go wrong with any of the 3dfx voodoo cards !!! 3dfx is now nvidia

[Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez]

Ever run the parts through an ultrasonic to tidy them up?

[jonsmith]

oh - i said bingo when u turned it around to show the 3dfx - great find - are u going to keep it?

[chilled]

The video card is indeed a Voodoo 3. Most probably Voodoo 3 3000. I've got one just like that. Nice haul of retro parts. Sometimes people don't realise what they're selling could have a greater value if only they'd put some effort into identifying what they're actually selling.

[numan]

I wouldn't pay 20 quid for a dvd drive its only worth a couple of quid
