THis is definately abuse of a V5. It's a wonder it doesn't burn up as hot as they got. I couldn't hold my finger over the back of my V5's procs, because it burned.

That's ok, the cards tend to bend from their own weight when installed in a tower.

Mine never bent from it's on weight. LOL

The only reason mine would bend is if i had to move the power cable to a weird spot.

What flavor video card is that? I don't recognize it.

(I have to twist and shove my GF FX 5800 Ultra to install it into my Shuttle, too.)

That be a Voodoo5 5500.

In fact, that gives me an idea. I wonder about building an SFF machine that runs Windows 98 or ME with a Voodoo3 2000 or 3000 in it as like a retro gaming machine. That would be good because I could get the cheapest SFF possible and it wouldn't even have to have an AGP slot. :D

[Btw, what ricer do you own?

Actually, the name Ricercar has no relation to my automobile :) A ricercar is a type of classical music, like a fugue. The word ricercar comes from the Italian richerece, to research.

Achh! :eek: I just noticed the power connector on the vid card... Seems like I would have modded that to make it fit better!
