Thought it might be fun and interesting to see what everyones using to do their Blendering…
This is my setup - Blender runs sweet on it and renders at a decent rate 
CPU: P4 Prescott 3Ghz
Memory: 2Gb DDR 400
Hard Drives: Dual 80Gb SATA + 420Gb SATA
Video: AGP XFX Nvidea 6600GT
Monitor: 17" Flat screen - LG Flatron L1715S
My wish list at present:
Wacom tablet
Better mouse!
22" monitor

Memory: 500 mb
Hard Drives: 13Gb + 60Gb D drive
Video: Intel® 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Co

Yea, I know. I need a new computer. I can’t run the default scene over 50 fps in the game engine.
blenders game engine is not that efishent at drawing polys anyway
Hey there,
There are recent threads of a similar nature already on the forums
Like this one http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=97230
But here goes anyway…
Windows XP Home SP2

It’s not that bad. Blender can draw just as many polys as the Irrlicht. (Has been tested and proven). Even on my bad computer, I can draw about 40,000 polys at over 15 fps.
CPU = Core 2 Duo, 2 gHz (T7200)
RAM = 2 GB
HD = 120 GB, a couple of external drives
GPU = nVidia 7400
OS = Kubuntu, 64 bit
Audio = Lexicon Omega
It’s a HP dv6000, a laptop with a 15.4" screen
AMD athlon 64 3200+ 2GHz
RAM= 958MB
HD= 60gig
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE
OS= windows vista home premium
17" LCD
Blenders gfx system is sad… but getting better I suppose.
Heres my workstation:
CPU: Core2 Quad, 2.4ghz
Ram: 2gig (4gig by end of next month)
Gfx Card: nVidia 8600GTS (Although I might get an ATI card if nvida doesn’t fix their drivers)
Render nodes:
Motherboard:ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus
CPU:Core2duo E6600 2.4 ghz (overclocked to 3.4)
Video Card:Geforce 8600 GTS XXX
Memory:2 Gigs DDR2 800 mhz
HD:Seagate 250 SATA 300 7200 rpm
PSU: OCZ GamexStream 700 w
Blender renders with 2 threads at double the speed as my old rig.

Blender runs well, haven’t done much lately with it though. I’ve been too busy programming. I have a Wacom tablet I haven’t hooked up yet, but plan to.
