Mac Pro 3,1 (early 2008 model)
14Gb RAM
5Tb HDD
Nvidia 8800GT graphics card





Still churns through graphic design work like a hot knife through butter even though it's over 3 years old. Most powerful computer I have ever owned and the quietest too.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

AMD Athlon II X4 635 AM3
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Asus M4N68T
4GB DDR3 1600mhz Corsair XMS3 (2x2gb)
500GB S-ATAII 3.0Gb/s & 160gb IDE HD (storage)
22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio
700W EZCool Tornado

CPU overclocked from 2.9Ghz to 3.6Ghz and is stable, however voltage is higher than I'd like. Currently 1.48v idle and will peak at 1.53v under load, but I've got an Akasa Venom cooler and temps don't go past 54C in prime95.

Graphics card is overclocked from 850mhz core and 1200mhz memory to 900mhz core and 1400mhz memory. It ran BF3 Beta on high without lag which is surprising bearing in mind the HD 5770 is not by any means a powerful card. I've got priorities in life but when I get round to it the next thing I'll buy for it is a better graphics card. There's some good deals out there and on overclockers you can buy a very very good card for £200 with 2 free games which you could sell for £35 - £40 each on ebay and get almost half of your money back!
