Radeon HD2400 card with mobile and cat paw for scale.
Yeah, its a ATI Radeon HD 2400. $60 bucks down at the computers store second hand. Just removed the mounting bracked and presto.
Works a charm for the project, AND has more grunt than my main PC. Polishes up Half Life quite nice.
So why did I change my mind?
- Anaglyph games, like Quake (i.e. old awesome games with red-blue 3d glasses)
- S-VIDEO out, means I can link it to a RCA output for TV's (and S-VIDEO). This means that I can fold it up, plug it into a TV, plug in surround sound, and turn it into a damn console using the wireless xbox360 controller!
- Better performance/resolution/graphics out of old DOS games and some MAME games.
- This card is small enough to fit neatly and doesnt obstruct airflow
- Removes some load from the 1.5ghz CPU
- $60 is cheap enough to warrant the cost
