What's your dream UT system?

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Current stuff? Alright...

Then I guess what I have works pretty well:

900Mhz AMD Thunderbird CPU
Asus A7V Mobo
256MB PC-133 SDRAM
30.7GB Maxtor 7200 HDD using Ultra ATA/100
300W PS
3Dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP w/ 1.04.01 beta drivers
SB Live! Value
Klipsch v.2 400w THX speakers
Pioneer 16x DVD/40x CD-ROM
HP 9510i 12x8x32x CD-RW
3Com/USR Hardware modem
3Com 10/100 NIC
Madcatz Panther XL FPS joystick
CTX 19" VL950ST with 4 port USB hub
USB expansion card
WindowsME all the latest drivers and updates

My only complaint (and this is nitpicking) is the noise. But I guess when you have five fans (one on the CPU, two on the Voodoo, and two case fans) it's gonna be loud.

Well, I just bought the closest I'll probably ever come, but...

I bought a 900mhz Thunderbird w/256mb SDRAM, 30gb Ultra ATA 100 HD, SB Live!, 64mb GeForce 2 GTS, 22" Sony Trinitron Monitor, Klipsch Pro media v.2 speakers (and yes they RAWK!), MS Natural Elite Pro and Optimouse...and yadda yadda yadda. If money was no object I'd get a Falcon Northwest Mach V -1.5ghz P4, Three 18gb Seagate Cheetah's in RAID 0, with a 75gb IBM Deskstar as back up. SB Live! 5.1, 32" Trinitron Monitor w/ two 22" on the side. An NV20 (I'd wait the 2 to 3 months for it to get released) 3D card with a Matrox G400 in PCI (if they make a PCI version), Klipsch Pro media v.2.1 (real soon...heh)w/ decoder and...and that's all that comes to mind. =}
You work out the money and I'll be glad to buy it...hehe. (if only... *sigh*)

Lata peeps, God bless y'all.
