Branching out for help

[_Ace]

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to get this done on my own, but I've been having some issues/problems with sourcing and finding some things for a project.

The Project

So here's what I'm trying to do. My grandfathers birthday is coming up in about 2-3 months and he's been building and working with computers basically since the start. What I'm trying to do (since he's an NVidia guy) is I'm trying to find 1 or 2 cards from each series of NVidia. Now it's alright if I miss some of the harder to find ones, and I don't care if they work or not, it's just for display. I'm basically trying to fine these to put together a sort of "History of NVidia GPU's" display for him. But I'm having trouble finding some, that's where I need help.

What I need help with

This is the hard part, trying to find the cards, specifically named, 9800GT, 200-500 series GT/GTS/GTX cards. I don't care if they are broken and don't work, just as long as they look in working order. If any of you guys know where I could find these cards, could you link them or show them in the responses below so I can get them and start the project? I appreciate any and all help given by anyone.

Thank you in advance.

Most of them you can find on amazon or if you have craiglist in your area, I'm sure you can find it there as well.

Another thing is try and find a second hand computer shop/local tech repair shop. Tell them what you are trying to do and see if they have any parts they can give you/sell you.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I might head up to the local shop some time tomorrow, my grandfather is good friends with the owners and he might help me out a little extra.

Thanks for the help everyone, I'll be sure to share some pics of it as the build goes along.

I have a couple of 7800 GTX 512 OC's just sitting around if you still need cards.
