Dell XPS R450 -- a cutting edge Pentium II 450mhz CPU, Turtle Beach Montego sound card and....
well, it came with a rather new nVidia RIVA TNT card but Dell shipped these machines with pretty crappy barebone drivers and I had no idea what drivers were in '98 so when Half-Life couldn't run in anything but Software mode we went out and got a Diamond Monster 3DII - 3dfx Voodoo 2 and so the TNT became the 2D card while pass-through Voodoo 2 took care of everything 3D. I played Everquest a few months later on that machine in Glide mode.
