Nice -- at the time.

"64 [MB of RAM] is as high as you're ever going to need to go." - Kate

"Some of these games are hundreds and hundreds of megabytes" - Leo, after stating that there's 15 GB of HD space in the system

As a side note, Google Video rocks. =D

I do like that case though. Except that it's beige. And huge.

I wish they would have said what the video cards were... I wonder if they were voodoo 2's or something like that. I had a Voodoo Blaster Banshee and a Voodoo 3 at one point in time (still have the banshee).
