| Crossover (host, seat 1) |
| Celeron 300A at 450 on an Abit BH6, 128 MB, Voodoo3 2000, Sound Blaster Live!, 3Com 3C905B, 17" monitor. The 300A at 450 is the best money anybody in this garage ever spent. Also the old Pentium 166 under the hub table that runs the servers, which nobody counts as a rig, and it isn't one. |
| Meatwagon (lives here) |
| Pentium II 350, Riva TNT, 64 MB, and a 17" monitor he got free from his uncle's office that weighs about what he does. He does not carry it far. He lives here. |
| Lagmonster (also lives here) |
| AMD K6-2 350 on a Super 7 board, 64 MB, a 12 MB Voodoo2 with an ATI card for the desktop, and an ISA network card that has had an IRQ conflict with something different every month. The handle came first. The network card earned it. |
| Dr. Gibs |
| Pentium II 400, 128 MB, and the pair of Voodoo2s: two 12 MB cards in SLI, so Quake II runs at 1024x768. He carries the little ribbon cable that joins them in a sandwich bag in his shirt pocket and takes it out to show people. |
| Slag |
| AMD Athlon 500, 128 MB, Voodoo3 3000. The only Athlon in the garage. He bought it in August and has mentioned it at every opportunity since, and some that weren't opportunities. |
| TwoFrags |
| Celeron 300A at 464 (103 MHz bus; it wouldn't hold 450 the first night and he refuses to say why it holds 464), 128 MB, TNT2, a Microsoft IntelliMouse with the cord taped to the edge of the table. |
| Zipdisk |
| Celeron 366 at 550, a heat sink the size of a fist and two extra case fans, 128 MB, TNT2 Ultra, and yes, a Zip drive. He brings a stack of Zip disks with every patch and map anybody could want. Nicest guy in the garage. Do not play him at StarCraft. |
| Kitfox |
| Celeron 400, 64 MB, TNT2, and a case she painted metallic green with model car paint. From the network program at school. Won the first two StarCraft brackets we ever held and would like it known that the third one went three games. |
| Rocketsauce |
| Pentium III 450, 128 MB, TNT2 Ultra, and a 19" monitor that takes two people and a dolly. Seat 16, by the door, because of the monitor. Unreal at full detail. It's beautiful. He's earned it. |
| Mongo |
| Pentium II 450, 192 MB, Matrox G400, two hard drives in a full tower case with a handle he bolted on the top. Total Annihilation runs better on his machine than on anybody's, which is how he talks people into playing it. |
| Nitro |
| Pentium III 500, 128 MB, TNT2. Missed the summer working nights. Back now. Brought a new keyboard to replace the one with the dead W key, which explains a lot about last spring. |
| Hammerhead |
| Pentium 233 MMX, 64 MB, and an original Voodoo card, the 4 MB one. Gets about 25 frames a second on q2dm1 and has never once complained. Everybody else complains for him. |
| Kazoo |
| Store-bought Pentium II 300 with whatever came in it, plus a Voodoo2 he put in himself last Christmas. Still has the store's stickers on the front. Says they're load-bearing. |
| Spoonman |
| K6-2 300, 64 MB, Voodoo Banshee. Plays Total Annihilation with Mongo after everybody else has given up and gone to sleep. |
| Tater |
| Pentium 200 MMX, 48 MB, Voodoo2. Plays StarCraft and nothing else, and is fine with that. |
| Cheeto |
| A laptop. Pentium 266, 64 MB, a PC Card network adapter with a little dongle that he guards like it's the last one on earth, because it might be. StarCraft nights only. The orange stuff on the keyboard is where the handle came from. |
| Bluescreen |
| K6-2 400, 96 MB, Voodoo3 2000, Windows 98, and a mystery. It runs fine at his house. It runs fine at mine on Sunday. Saturday night it shows the blue screen at least twice. We've swapped the RAM, the card, the cable, the seat, and the power strip. Next month we're swapping the person. |
