'Standalone' PC gamers have four video cards that have been rare for 20 years to play Half-Life
The player Ross Tregemba (TheeRaccoon) surprised everyone when he shared on his HardOCP forum his own PC designed and installed 8 dominant Voodoo 2 graphics processors 20 years ago. Play legendary shooter Half-Life.
It took Ross Tregema a year to find and buy 4 Quantum3D Obsidian 2 200SBi boards, owning 2 3dfx Voodoo graphics chips. Currently, these boards are very rare, they were used for military simulations. NASA's special machines and devices.

In particular, one of 4 Quantum3D Obsidian 2 200SBi boards that Ross Tregema bought is the extremely rare type of BIOS 546-0014-05 and is currently the 200SBi model with the only such configuration left in the market.
When I first tested, in 4 boards he bought, there were 2 defective ones. One only displays a blue image, the other has a texture error. Tregema must fix it and then assemble it to create its own classic and strange computer
Tregema's "unique" platform has a configuration that is able to produce beautiful images, and make the most of Voodoo 2 performance with SLI technology.
Around 1998, the 3dfx brand released a graphics card with the Voodoo product line. At that time, the Voodoo 2 model with 3 onboard graphics processing chips had a very high resolution (1,024 × 768 pixels).
Voodoo 2 is the first video card on the market with multicard and Scan-Line Interleave technology (SLI). Later Nvidia bought 3dfx. Currently, components with Voodoo 2 chips become 'rare to find'.
