I always wanted a Voodoo2 sli setup. But when your teenager you can't buy everything you want. So i have decided to build my dream gaming rig from the era 1999/2000 agian. With all Epic highend parts. The dual voodoo2 cards and the motherboard cpu and memory i bought used from the local ebay.
2x Voodoo2 12mb, AWE64Gold Isa, Matrox g450 32mb
Testbuild! It's much safer to test the hardware in a case then on my desk. For so far the setup is stable and with windows 2000 no errors :)
But the build isn't cool without a great case! So my choice is the Aopen HQ45!! The most known ugly case ever! No cooling option allmost no hd bays.
I needed to do lots of grinding and sawing to put 2x 80mm fan in the back.
Custom Front
It is made out of a top cover of a chieftec case.
I used rivets to build the front and filler to make it 1 piece again!
Testbuild!
I also changed some hardware in the config!
Pentium3 500
512mb pc133
Matrox g400max instead of matrox g450
2x Voodoo2 Sli
3com 3c905b instead of netgear nic
Awe64 Gold isa

I made a small demo to show nfs3 quake2 halflife with software render and the voodoo2 sli setup. :D
I had my Logitech WIngman Force still laying around So let's see if it still works after 15 years! and 10 years of no use :)

I found a new Asus p3b-f motherboard for my retro rig.because it is not 100% stable. I found this board on a local ebay. I paid 10 euro including 6.75 euro shipping :)
I put primer on the case. :D
