For me it's a collection of rocks and semiprecious gems acquired from around the world. Smiley

Sorry if I'm dumb but wouldn't 1/4th scale be absolutely huge, like the size of your average city flat?

It might be this thing. Although I also have a

Same, C9 guy.

Although, a t-shirt from Windows Live or a Windows Live Messenger laptop bag could come in first place.

Except, I didn't request either of those...so, it's not my fault. Big Smile

That was such a good graphics card back in the day. You would put something into OpenGL mode and it would just purr. Although it has been so long now I cannot recall if the Voodoo 3 was an expansion card (like the Voodoo 2 was) or if it was the first of the cards that combined the 3D with standard processing boards. Either way I remember enjoying owning one back in the day and when I upgraded my OpenGL performance went down a lot (as the Voodoo series aimed for speed (FPS) and Nvidia's range aimed for visual appearence in DirectX).

Followed by my 9 guy and multimon rig.

I also have some quick reference charts on the wall (SQL, C#, etc)... Though Googling is faster than getting up and looking at them, so they're really just for show.

Voodoo2 Banshee was the first combined 2D/3D GPU that negated the need for a dedicated 2D card (like an S3 Trio64); the Voodoo3 was only available in 2D/3D combo.
