2002 HP pavilion laptop with integrated intel graphics, a broken monitor, broken disc drives, a custom built cooler using a targus cooling platform (51c when running AC ;p), and various plastic pieces and screws in a solo cup from me taking it apart so much. Crappy ole 85hz monitor someone left in one of our rental house's (it's starting to flicker :( ). A 'custom' desk for maximum comfort ;p.
Logitech g9x. (5700 dpi)
Gaming mousepad (low-friction)
"tweaked" ppa (graphics) drivers. :)
"tweaked" settings for max fps (app 75) and packet transfer (29mbps).
over-clocked usb polling (1000)
custom local proxy built via 'polipo' (to reduce latency)
All of my visible textures have been reduced to half-size.
I am partial to high quality sound though, so Bose headphones.

How do you play AC on that? What fps do you get?
I've got a usb keyboard for it, and I usually get 30-40 fps, my max is 60 and i recall getting as low as 2 before
btw nice computer and stuff but i think we can agree which of ours is best
I was curious cause I got a netbook i'd play on, but AC has always been too slow to run on it :(

Just won an auction for a 1U rackmount server on eBay :D 2x2.6Ghz Xeon, 4GB DDR RAM, no HDD.
I wanted a small rackmountable computer for recording audio and stuff (1U or 2U), and this was too cheap to resist. I figured a server was a better option than a rackmount case, because they're designed to be able to run in cramped conditions for long hours without overheating (although I won't be running mine that much, maybe 2-3 hours at a time). A lot of the time they worked out cheaper as well, although most of them around the same price I got this one for were 2.4Ghz P4s with 1GB RAM.
£32 including postage. I'll upload some pics when I get it :)

Lol, that's probably less than the RAM would cost alone.

Careful there.
Only if they get lots of cool air.

True. I don't think it's ECC Registered RAM though, so it's not like the RAM's worth £300 :P

As I said, I'm not going to be running it for that long, and I'm not exactly in a warm country, but thanks for the heads up, I'll keep it in a cool place, and not in some stuffy cupboard.

65 cm back. That's over 2 feet. I'm honestly surprised at how big it is. Runs pretty cool too, both cores at around 30 when I first turned it on and at about 50 after that (temperatures in degrees centigrade/celsius). I'll upload some pics later, if anyone wants them.
