Found a literal time capsule from 2008. 16x factory sealed NVIDIA CM 690s. My inner teenage gamer is screaming.

I had to re-upload this, but I finally got a proper photo with verification. I found these 16 beauties sitting in a warehouse, untouched for 18 years.

Seeing that NVIDIA green and the original factory tape... it takes me straight back to the days of Crysis benchmarks and 8800 GT SLI builds. It’s rare to find even one in this condition, let alone a whole "green army."

I've already unboxed one (as you can see in the back) to finally build my dream 2008 sleeper rig, but I'll be parting with the others so they can find homes with fellow collectors.

Time to find out if this thing can finally run Crysis on ultra. See you on the battlefield!

I managed to get my hands on a "New Old Stock" stash from a warehouse that was being cleared out.

It’s 16 units of the legendary Cooler Master CM 690 NVIDIA Edition. All of them are still factory sealed (some even in their original brown shipping double-boxes).

I opened one just to check the condition and take some photos for my office, and man, the smell of "new hardware from 2008" is incredible. It’s like stepping back into the GTX 200 series era.

I’m planning to let some of these go to collectors who will actually build some period-correct SLI monsters in them.

What would you build in this green beast today?
