the CyberstormPPC is sold.

Wow, these things go for a pretty penny these days.  Lovely card though, would love to own a maxed-out A4k setup with one of these babies in it.

Out of interest, who remembers how much these cards went for brand new, back in the day?

I paid AUD1899 for mine - new - in the late '90s. That's like $3k in today's South Pacific Pesos.

It was a choice between the card and a car. Still not sure if I made the right choice  ;)

I had forgotten how expensive these were back then.  I remember seeing them in the magazines as a teenager and dreaming that I could own one but they were well out of my reach.  In the mid-2000s I got a used BPPC which was excellent, but I never have managed to stretch to a decent A4k setup.
