This was my very first custom rig that I built myself back in 2008.
- CoolerMaster 335.
- ASRock P67 Extreme4.
- Intel i5 2500K.
- 2x4GB Kingston DDR3 1333.
- 2x Asus GTX 460 1GB SLI.
I can't remember the hard drive space. It was most likely a WD Caviar Green 1TB ( can tell by the sticker on top it's Caviar Green).

Perhaps he meant Doom 3. Even my laptop which has a 1.8ghz AMD Turion X2 plus ATI X1200 (terrible) can only run Doom 3 at the lowest settings and frame rates in the teens.
All other previous versions of Doom are 2D and will run fine on even an old 80486.

- Dec 19, 2012 7:52 pm GMTI had a Pentium II for a couple days but I attempted to change processors and I messed up something (at least it was free). It was pretty good, it ran UT99 with impressive results on Windows 2000. I like UT99 for testing and playing them because most old PCs can play it even with integrated graphics (but best with a 3dfx or a newer card) and it has solid, fun multiplayer that is easy to set up. Quake 3 is also fun but a little more high maintenance since it needs a decent card with good OpenGL support to run at all. Actually, my pet peeve about most older PCs is that they lack integrated video, sound, or Ethernet, which makes things harder to deal with. I know integrated video sucks but it is very good to have when setting up a PC which you can't find a card for or has bad PCI slots.
