Just wondering about it. it would also give me a little idea of how much of users like 3D modelling.
Me? I use mine just for 3D execpt for a little IM and internet surfing. that all.
(notes to mod: i wasn’t sure exactly where to put this thread so i kinda guessed. if you need to move it then go ahead. i’ll look at where it is moved to and remember to post any similar thread there)
I guess this thread would go under off-topic chat!
My PC is definitely not for 3D modelling. I crased my main workstation and am working on my backup… and this aint worth it! My main station was a 2.8Ghz, 512MB RAM, GeForce FX5200 128MB, which is decent for 3Dmodelling at my level!
Hm mine isnt that good either:
AMD Athlon 64
1 Gig RAM
80 Gig Harddisk
and Geforce 5900
What i wished for:
Dual–Core Processor
4 Gigs of Ram
And a Geforce 7900 GTX SLI
AND THE BIGGEST WISH:
Fully implemented Realtime Shading of OpenGL in Blenders Viewport
256mb RAM
400mhz pentium2
You dont even need to know the rest of the stats to figure out my comp sucks
I use my computer mainly for the Internet, CG and works for the University. It’s not really THAT good anymore (3,4 GHz AMD 64, 1 GB RAM) but it’s enough for a smooth workflow and alright rendertimes, even at somewhat larger resolutions (if I don’t get too high with the quality…). So, I definitely won’t complain, looking at Hafanui’s specs 
Yes, I’m here so everyone else can feel good about themselves 
Mine’s getting antiquated::-?
AMD Athlon 3000 +
1 GB RAM
128 MB NVIDIA GeForce 6800 OC
80 GB HD
I’m waiting to earn enough for a new one…Those new iMacs are looking pretty nice.8)

Ditto
Purpose built 100% 3D workstation.

:damn
you must be a very lucky man:
Nearly what i am dreaming of. :<
I rather enjoy the challenge of making my 450Mhz 256Mb PII creations work well. You really need to learn some shortcuts and tricks in your work and I think that is good.
Over the past 7 or so years I have used my computer for many purposes. Some very specific and some quite general. It is nice to run a Linux system as I can set it up to suit the purpose at hand.
Believe it or not I first found out about Blender around version 1.6 or 1.7 when the C-Key started. I was looking for a CAD or drawing program for electronics on Linux. At the time I used my comp specifically for electronics. The times change but my little workhorse computer keeps rolling with them ( thanks to linux and source code builds)
honeycomb
3.2gHz
1 Gig Ram
ATI 9800
320 GB (4 Hd’s)
Built mainly for 3D, video editing, and programming.
(Of course a little bit of gaming never hurts! )
For my part,
i began to put aside every € that is possible to afford a good workstation.
I’m planning to expense something around 5000 - 7000 € at the ending of the next year to give my productivity a boost. Actually i realize the the performance limits of my Desk are disillusioning me.
Everything that is bigger is impossible, cause i’m a very impatient person.
Right now i have 4 Computers
These will form a little Render-Farm in my cellar, when i bought my new machine. Hopefully this thing will turn into a performance-monster to my purposes and give me the chance to do more professional work.
I’ve started a few months ago with i think version 2.36 but right now i’m totally addicted to blender.
Keep blendering guys.
Bye Gjevon
I can’t belive you all complain about having such nice PC’s!
You guys are spoiled.
Mine’s almost completely for CG. I built mine for modeling in particular, but it’s the main computer so I do other stuff on it too.
Phenom II 3.2GHz (quad core)
3GB DDR2 RAM
GeForce 8800GS
…plus three other lesser computers for the Luxrender farm
yeah, I do a good amount of 3d work on mine, but I also do a lot of gaming and surfing the internet.
Quad Core Phenom II 3.0GHz
2 GB RAM (would be 4, need to send back the bad stick)
XFX GTS 250 (512mb)
20" monitor (1680x1050)
Saw this poll and thought i’d participate - some serious gear here and not sure if teh 450 Pii’s are serios out their comps or not -
Interesting if you are - saw Hafunui’s gallery - nice stuff for a PII -
myself - the one comp i have working - is a
Dell XPS 1.73 ghz -
2 gig of ram
13.3 screen -
no graphics card
no audio card - just the integrated stuff - which aint much
running winXP2
does it work with anything… barely but i can make a UV sphere with hair -
but only once… then it coughs - sits down takes a rest or goes to sleep on me
I told it to quit smoking when i’m trying to do 3D
it won’t listen… oh well.
I do a lot of stuff like facebook, msn, movie making. Mostly movie making. But yea blender takes up a whole chunk of it.
1024MB DDR2 RAM
Nvidia Geforce 9800GT video card.
I need more RAM
I built my computer 100% for 3D, but I got a nice graphics card for gaming as well.
Intel 2.4 GHz overclocked to 3.4 GHz - quad core
4gb ram
Nvidia 8800 gt with 512 mb ram
Idles at around 30 degrees C
Depends what you mean by ‘dedicated’… When it was time to upgrade my work PC, I made a strong case for a powerful processor - so they got me a bog standard Dell OptiPlex 960 - but with the best processor at the time (Core2Quad 3.0 GHz). The rest is the standard Dell hardware - ATI Radeon HD3470 graphics, 4GB RAM.
What further ‘dedication’ could I want that would make Blender run better, other than an even faster i7 processor?
