I'm curios what the likely cause of death is for all these ppc cards is it continuous usage, bad cooling, anyone know?
From the yellow look to the pcb, I'd say that's a DCE version of the Cyberstorm. These cards have a much lower build quality than the original ones made by Phase5 and were notorious for the underspec'd cooling fans on the PPC604e and overall short lifespan. That's perhaps the reason why it died?
