  I was a graphic designer at IBM at that time. They provided me with an “Intellistation” of the same vintage, I had some screaming graphics cards in it, tons of ram, and the IT dept. later replaced the &nbsp;main chip every time there was a budget, before finally decommissioning the machine. No Ethernet at IBM then, it had Token RIng card, and kept designs on Iomega Zip disks per corporate compliance, but that later changed to a windows network drive. Lotus Notes, Lotus 123, Illustrator and Photoshop were my daily routine. All IBM machines of this vintage are tanks. We used to have them render videos for days with no crashes. Good times.

  The &nbsp;sound that played when you ran Unreal Tournament (And crashed the machine) for the first time was Sensura (Like Aureal 3D and EAX) 3D stereo sound being used by that Soundmax intergrated sound chip. I used to own a Hercules Muse XL 4.0 PCI soundcard which on games that supported A3D and Sensura would boot with that sound.

  That wavetable was made to produce a perfect rendition of the Seinfeld theme song.

  Considering the shape of the box, when you picked up the case and heard rattling, I had nightmarish visions of an expansion card coming loose during shipping and shooting around inside the case, completely obliterating the board, capacitors, and all of RMC&apos;s hard work... glad to see that didn&apos;t happen!
