I had a moment of insanity and decided to put an Arctic Accelero on an X1900XT. It fits, but at what cost?

I think it looks cool. 😉

Looks good to me, and it's not like there are many PowerPC PCIe cards that'll work in it

My thoughts exactly. I'm unlikely to ever find a Sonnet upgrade so I'll stick to the hot-rod aesthetic for now.

In my quad, I've a Digital Voodoo PCIe card ... that does ... something, never found another card to fit in there next to the GPU!

What ports are on the card? I can't say I've ever heard of such a card before.

It's a broadcast quality HDTV capture card, completely useless without software!

 Sounds similar to the Matrox RTMac in my Quicksilver G4: completely useless without the associated breakout box and software. 

Any chance you know the model on that Voodoo card? I'd love to learn more about it.

RTmac software is still available from Matrox for download and you can find the breakout box on ebay.

What is the model of the card? I think Digital Voodoo was purchased by bluefish444 or was part of their lineup.

I have a few of their PCI-X cards
