alMitE's Cool Hack
Here is a some info on parts used to make the 3DfxKewL.
The right angle brackets that hold the metal strap in place are just speaker clips (bent
open) that you would normally use to mount car door speakers...the metal strap is just a
piece that usually comes with any car stereo you buy... hardest part was finding small
enough screws that would go thru the monster cards existing holes (no holes drilled or
enlarged)... heatsinks & fan is actually from Radio ShackŪ and made for a 486
cpu...heatsink was cut exactly in half, they are held in place by another piece of metal
strapping (bent to proper angle) and attached to longer strap by another stronger type of
speaker clip, the heatsinks do not have any adhesive holding them in place, if you look
closely you will notice that there are two black rubber groumets (normal used to run wires
thru) that hold the heatsinks against the 3Dfx chips.
This modification also doesn't interfer with any other cards ie:
you can still use all your pci slots...but most likey it
would have to be the last card installed (because of fan)..
