What's your dream UT system?

C¥BER PETE · 26th Dec 2000, 07:24 AM

If money was not a factor and you could get any system you wanted what would it be?

Do_Or_Die · 26th Dec 2000, 08:03 AM

Pentium IV 1.5Ghz
768MB RDRAM 800Mhz
75GB 10,000RPM HDD
Wait a few months for the next Nvidia card and get Ultra version

Fiber Optic Internet Connection to the desktop
SB Live!
Klipsch v.2 400W THX speakers
21" Flat Screen LCD monitor
Intellimouse Explorer
Natural Keyboard Pro

This is just off the top of my head without thinking about it much but it seems pretty good doesn't it?

C¥BER PETE · 26th Dec 2000, 08:07 AM

BTW..lets keep this to hardware that is currently out out.

SilentStrike · 26th Dec 2000, 09:18 AM

Asetek Vapochill case
1.2 ghz thunderbird (course... it's not staying at that speed

Voodoo 5 or GeForce 2 Ultra (Not sure which performs better in UT)
Asus A7V (soon to go, DDR)
768 MB PC 133 2-2-2 ram (soon to go, DDR)
Microsoft strategic game commander mouse (Think I am gonna get one of these anyway, gonna program some wicked shock crap)
21" monitor, .25 dpi, sick refresh rates

Ghostgeek][ · 26th Dec 2000, 09:49 AM

already built it myself a few weeks ago....
AMD Athlon 1GHZ "Thunderbird" Socket-A.
Coolermaster DP5-6H51 Heatsink/Fan.
128MB Mushkin PC133 CAS2 High Performance Revision 2 RAM.
Asus A7V Revision 1.02 Via KT133 Mobo(Bios Revision 1004D).
Enermax 351 watt Power Supply.
3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 AGP (Drivers 1.04.00).
Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live X-Gamer 5.1.
Creative 48X CDROM.
Quantum Fireball Plus KA 7200rpm,ATA/66 HD...with DMA enabled.
TDK VeloCD Re-Writer (8/4/32 with a 20x Audio Rip)...with DMA enabled.
3Com/USRobotics Internet Gaming Modem (56k v.90).
Logitech Wingman Gaming Mouse (8.62 drivers).
Sony CPD-200SF 17" Monitor.
Running on Windows 98SE,Direct X 8.

power supply,RAM,CPU,Mobo,and Blaster are new...rest I cannibalized from my old P3-600 rig.

Do_Or_Die · 26th Dec 2000, 10:20 AM

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.

AMD K6-2 450MhZ
