That looks awfully similar to my old x850pro AGP! My Favorites:

Radeon 9550se

I guess I like simple GPU designs. Nothing too fancy. Most of these other cards are hideous IMO.

I still have one or two of these Tseng Labs ET6000 cards. Very simplistic and clean design.

Nostalgia, mostly. It was my first 3D card ever (Matrox Millennium G200).

I had one of those. It was like the fastest 3D accelerator for a while... like 2 weeks. :'( I remember I had it when Quake 3 first came out (q3test) and I was getting 14FPS on it.
 
I certainly wasn't the most powerful video card, but it is original.

I also remember seeing a year of the Rat card, but I didn't think it looked as nice.
 
what card is that? i dont think ive ever seen a twin frozr with copper version.

Its the msi gtx 560- 'golden edition'
On the box art it mentions its all copper. I think its pretty cool myself. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-569-_-Product
Often times, the copper pipes on gpus are copper but they nickel plate them to match the aluminum fins/radiator the pipes extend in to. Copper is slightly better, conducting, but much more expensive.
 
considering how much gpu blocks have evolved in just the past 4 yrs..

you will never find me not waterblocking a high end gpu ever again.
